Who are the Baudelaire's? Lemony Snicket has written a series of novels that are quite depressing and he warns the readers that if you do not like reading books that sad and mean things happen put the book down. In this series entitled 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' Violet, Klaus and Sunny will stay with a series of odd people with one very despicable person known as Count Olaf that seems to be always in the wind. Book one titled 'The Bad Beginning' the Baudelaire children learn about the disaster that took their parents' lives and put their children in the care of others, and each child has a specific talent that helps gets them these unfortunate events one way or another. At the end of each book Lemony Snicket writes a letter as an introduction to the next volume. All the illustrations are drawn as pencil sketches but are well-defined and describes some of the actions of the story.

Welcome Back, Kotter
Here is another old situation comedy for the mid-1970's named 'Welcome Back. Kotter'. This was a show set in an urban high school named Buchanon High School. The main character of Gabe Kotter, a social studies teacher and a graduate of this high school is hired to teach the students known as the 'Sweathogs' who are smarter than they think from Vinnie Barberino to Arnold Horshack to Juan Epstein to Boom Boom Washington these were the main Sweathogs. Gabe is a married man to Julie and these students pay visits in some very importune times. This show and its' stars did all move on from the show to bigger things. John Travolta and his many movies, Robert Hegyes went on to Cagney and Lacey, Lawrence Hilton Jacobs I believe made a few movies as well and Ron Palillo also did a few other projects. This is also a show that was famous for a much overdone phrase 'Up your nose with a rubber hose.' I remember hearing that a lot when I was in elementary and junior high when someone did not like something or someone.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”

Interesting ,will check it out
Count Olaf reminded me of Olaf from Frozen. I love how the children each have their own talent that helps them with the situations they're in
