Have the students research carnival “freak shows” and determine whether each of the carnies could be real in real life, as well as whether freaks shows still exist and why or why not.

Ask what she thinks she is, what the characters think she is, and what they (the student) think she is – explaining why for each.

Ask the students if Madame Lulu is a good or a bad person.

Ask the students who they think took the picture of the Baudelaires on Damocles Dock, why this person took the picture, and who they were working for.Ask the students how Snicket used irony in the novel, including what situations were ironic and for whom, as well as if the irony made the story more enjoyable or if it had another effect.Just when it seemed like they were going to find happiness and have some luck, it was snatched away and crushed in front of my eyes – although I shouldn’t be surprised, it is the Series of Unfortunate Events after all… Rating: 5 out of 5 No other book in the series had made me feel so hopeless and at a loss for the Baudelaires than this one. Ultimately, this story ended on a quite despairing note. They were so funny! Once you realized Snicket was making them be a little extra, you are able to fully immerse yourself in their ridiculousness and nonsense. In terms of the characters, the “freaks” were definitely the best part. Between the freak show, Olaf’s naivety, the Baudelaires’ outcome – irony was just everywhere and I really enjoyed it. Snicket is known for going over the top with his stories, and he didn’t hold back with the irony. ironic situations in the story that it was honestly quite impressive. Expanding on the irony element, Snicket included so. It added a whole new type of danger and irony to the series that had yet to be presented. The orphans were actually working with Count Olaf while in disguise (unbeknownst to him).

Hostile Hospital dabbled with disguising the Baudelaires and keeping them hidden in plain sight, but this story took that to a new level. It took on an entirely new plot than the previous books. Review: I really enjoyed this book from the Series of Unfortunate Events. While masquerading as carnival attractions, the Baudelaires learn more about their parents’ fate and the VFD.

In order to not be captured by the relentless villain, the orphans disguise themselves as freaks – a two-headed person and a wolf baby. Summary: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire have escaped the burning hospital in the trunk of Count Olaf’s car, which has driven them to the failing Caligari Carnival.
