Title: The Bad Beginning

Series title: A Series of Unfortunate Events                        

Author: Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler)                          

Genre: Dark comedy/mystery

Fiction                                 

Non fiction

Synopsis: The character lemony Snicket says “If you want a happy ending, put down this book and read something else.” We get an introduction to the characters Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire. Mr Poe (The banker) comes up to them and tells them, “your parents have perished in a terrible fire.” That's when the unfortunate events happen. The Baudelaire meet Count Olaf. Count Olaf makes the orphans do terrible chores and makes them cook dinner for his theatre troupe. That’s basically the synopsis.

Favourite Part: My favourite part is when the Baudelaires meet Count Olaf and he says “Hello, hello, hello children.” because it's menacing when Count Olaf says it.

Recommendation: I recommend the book if you like dark humour and mystery. It's a really good introduction to the series of 13 books.

All About Me

 My name Is Ethan and it originated from hebrew.

Ethan means firm, enduring, strong and long-lived. The name Ethan appears eight times in the Hebrew Bible. Ethan Hawke is a famous american actor. He has won four academy awards. When I was younger I wished I had the name Ryan because I thought it was cool. The name Ethan was popular in 2002.

I’m choosing the right because it looks like me.

It has glasses and brown eyes. The hair colour is the same and very close to the same shape.The background looks glitchy and cool. 

My first favorite book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because the book has a darker tone than the ones before them. I like to read at home and sometimes the school library. 17/02/2020. Use an audiobook because sometimes it helps you understand the book more and make sure you’re reading the book while listening.

My strengths are: creativity, I have heaps of energy around people, kindness, teamwork and hope.

The important people are my family and my friends.

Books, video games and drawing

because they are amazing.

I have no place that has bad memories.

I love to be at home because it's quiet and cold in the summer. My family. 5 years. It's quiet. Everyday I'm there. When school ends. Because it's my house.

I Don't Know. They are my family. North island and at home. 17/02/2020. I Don't Know.

Be a writer. Paris. I don’t know. my girlfriend if I have one in the future. I don’t know. probably a couple 100,000. Get a job.

By doing something challenging.  I Don’t Know. read a lot and learn new stuff. By being nice to them.
