How I See The World And Will Act Tomorow

After I watched the movie, the way I look at  the world has changed.  I see that one man, that has power, can change everything.  Now I will show more respect to the survivors of the Holocaust.  And will think of the Holocaust differently.  When I read the poem I learned that they didn't just go for the Jews, they went for the Catholics, the communists, and the trade unionists.  I will now stand up for people who are being bullied or criticized by other people.  I hope to make the world a better place.

           In this book, instead of going to a family's house, the Baudelaire orphans get sent to Prufrock Preparatory School, P.P.S.  P.P.S. is a boarding school with fantastic dorms.  The only bad thing is you have to have a guardian sign a peace of paper for you to get in. Because of that the Baudelaire orphans have to stay in a shack with crabs and fungus.  Count Olaf's plan is simple, be a gym coach, make the Baudelaire orphans run laps all night so they sleep during class, have them fail on the exam, and they will be his!  But that doesn't happen, thankfully.  Something bad does happen at the end of the story. Klaus gets kicked in the stomach by who other than Count Olaf!
