1. ONE ITALICIZED QUESTION: (Page 131, Paragraph 2)

Why do you think that the word closed is italicized?
The word closed is italicized because it was Klaus’s tone of voice.  When the children had finally thought of a plan that might just work, of course something unfortunate had to happen.  Klaus was very upset and distraught because nothing was turning out like he had planned.

3.  ONE PROBLEM/SOLUTION QUESTION: (PAGES 131-143)
What problem did the Baudelaire children face when they finally reached Damocles Dock?  And how did they solve their problem?

The Baudelaire orphans finally reached Damocles Dock they noticed that they needed to get across the lake and they needed a boat.  The Fickle Ferry ticket booth was closed so they went to, “Captain Sham’s Sailboat Rentals”.  To make matters worse they looked inside and one of Count Olaf’s comrades was inside holding the keys that they needed to get a sailboat.
They solved the problem by Sunny sneaking inside and getting the keys from Count Olaf’s comrade.  Even though they had to put up a fight with Count Olaf’s comrade they finally did get a boat and escape.

4. ONE HERO QUESTION: (Page 143. Paragraph 1)
How was Sunny a hero?
I think Sunny is a hero because she is so young yet she always helps the Baudelaire children when they need it the most.  When Count Olaf’s comrade was chasing after them Sunny had already bitten the rope that tied the boat to the deck, and the children were already sailing out in the water by the time the Count Olaf’s comrade got there.

5. ONE THINKING QUESTION:
 Each one of the Baudelaire children have a special talent in the book.  Violet’s is inventing things, Klaus’s is reading and investigating, and Sunny’s is biting things.  Do you think that these talents have helped them throughout the book so far?  What other talents would be useful to the Baudelaire children?
These talents have helped the children tremendously.  So far, they have used their talents to figure out things that have saved their lives.  Some other talents that would be helpful to the children are convincing, standing up for themselves, karate, ect.

6. ONE THINKING QUESTION:
If you could be friends with any character in the book, who would it be?
I would pick Violet.  I think that she is very smart and humble girl.  She puts her siblings before her and cares for them just like a mother would.
