A Series of Unfortunate Events 6 (book 11) 4/16/15

Prompt -  List at least three problems the characters faced? Which was the most life
changing? Explain

     One problem that the characters face in book 11; The Grim Grotto, was when they lost touch with their new friend Quigley Quagmire. They finally figured out where he was when they reached a cave by the Stricken Stream, while on their way to find their sister Sunny. It was believed that he died in his house fire, but he managed to survive. He is one of the Quagmire triplets, two of the triplets had known the Baudelaires for some time and the were friends. So, they lost touch with him after they rescued their sister and were trying to escape from Count Olaf, when all of a sudden a waterfall carried Quigley away and the Baudelaires from each other while heading down the slippery slope.

    A second problem that the Baudelaires faced in this book was that Sunny nearly died from a deadly fungus. This happened after the children found a submarine that helped them and let them in. After being in there for a day with other V.F.D members, they were searching for the secret sugar bowl (that hasn't been revealed why it's important) when the submarine was too big to fit in the cave that held the sugar bowl. So, the Baudelaires had to get out so they can search for it in diving helmets, and when they got to the cave, they realized there was deadly mushrooms growing. They managed to escape, but a mushroom somehow got into Sunny's helmet making her become trapped in the helmet. If the helmet was opened, the poison would spread, and she had an hour to live. Violet and Klaus had to do a lot of research before finally curing their sister.

 
The third and final major problem that they faced was when Count Olaf and his troupe found them, on their much bigger submarine. They captured them, but, a good thing was that, like always, they managed to escape by convincing one of Count Olaf's associates. He turned out to be the brother of Fiona (the daughter of the captain of the submarine). The children convinced the associate to let them escape while he was watching them for Count Olaf, and they said they would take him with them.  He agreed, but, Count Olaf caught them, but of course, the Baudelaires escaped without Fiona or her brother; and were off on their own again.

  1. This was a good blog Giovanna, and I liked it because I read this series a while ago and really liked the books. You did a really good job of describing the problems that the Baudelaires faced, and gave readers a thorough description of what went on. Keep up the good work.
