The Austere Academy

                                           Series of Unfortunate Events
                                      The Austere Academy

   Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire were being drove to there next guardian which wasn't a person but a boarding school. When they arrived Mr. Poe dropped them off and they had a tour guide to show them around and the school had amazing dormitories, marvelous classes, and even an arcade. Then it went bad and the tour guide said since they were orphans and did not pay for the school they would be staying in a shack known as the orphan shack. Not only that but they would not be able to use the arcade and go in the dormitories. What they would do is go to school go to the orphan shack and go to school everyday. When they reached the principles office he told them that every day they would be going to his violin recital everyday and if they were late at all they would have to eat candy until they threw up of course the principle was the one playing the violin. when they went to the orphan shack finally something good happened they met more orphans. It was a boy and girl who were twins and there names were Duncan and Isabella Quagmire and they talked and it turned out that there parents also died in a fire and they also had a huge fortune just like the Baudelaire orphans but they didn't only lose there parents but also there brother Quigly and they were triplets. The shack was disgusting it had snapping crabs on the ground and fungus dripping from the ceiling. When they woke up it was there first day of school and when they went to English it was impossible they had poems and book after book to read and there teacher expected them to do it all but sunny who was to young to even talk. When English ended science began and again was impossible. Also history was hard and math was harder than any math they have ever seen.when they got to PE it happened the teacher coach Genghis was Olaf who was wearing a turban and high sneakers to hide his unobrow and tattoo. He mad them run laps every day all day. When they got home or at least the shack they had to do there home work right away go to the violin recital and everyone was seated and quiet and one kid walked in late and was forced to eat the candy. When the recital was done they went back and did more homework which was very strange because the orphans were very smart and had a huge library in there old house and read a lot. They stayed up late doing there homework. When they were awake they didn't have enough sleep at all and again had very hard classes and when they were done went to the principles office and told them about Olaf and when to go ask him. When they got there they said to take off his turban and sneaker. He said that it was against his religion to take off his turban and his feet smelled and it was embarrassing. So they thought that it wasn't him. They had to do there homework and then went to the recital and when to do there homework and when they finished they went to bed. They were doing horrible in school and they were going to fail school and have to be held back. They did not want that to happen so they could get out of there as fast as they could. They had to do better in school so they had to stay up later and started to fail PE because they were exhausted and couldn't run the laps in the right amount of time. They were so tired one day that they fell asleep and missed the violin recital and had to eat the candy until they threw up. They were feeling horrible. When finals came they had to stay up all night to study and didn't sleep a wink. When they went to school they passed all the tests and even the fitness test Olaf was so mad he slipped and reviled his true identity and started to run and his turban and sneakers fell of revealing everything and they chased him but on his way a black car pulled up and he jumped in but not only that but he also dragged the Quagmire triplets with him and took them. There the Baudelaire orphans were standing crying there only friend just kidnapped. They were with Mr. Poe again ready to leave the school and go with there next guardian.

I think this was a very good story but also a very sad one. It just seems like there lives are getting worse and worse every guardian they go with all it brings is misery. I think they probably feel like where ever they go they will bring misfortune to anyone who is involved with them. They probably feel that at first it is looking up but then Olaf comes and wrecks it all.
