He told me about the three Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, how their parents were killed in a misfortunate house fire, and how Count Olaf was trying his hardest to steal the Baudelaire fortune from the children. This story of agony and misery sounded so very appealing to my eight year old self, maybe because it was Jordan telling me about it. He sold

from the Hotel Denouement to multiple times trying to kidnap the Baudelaires.

Margaret Atwood herself stated that she based The Handmaid's Tale only on events that have happened in the past, so aspects of the novel will always

CRA: Anzaldua Borderlands In her poem “Borderlands,” Gloria Anzaldua strategically exposes readers to the true form of the Borderlands region as she conveys the internal incongruity that is rife with this state.

Anzaldua cogently employs the use of distinct structural elements

Truth-telling and lying, authenticity and hypocrisy, and illusion and reality make up the back bone of Gullivers Travels. The novel also explores self- discovery and awareness. Swift uses extreme amounts of satire and irony to present these themes in a complex understanding of how lying fits into human nature.

Snickets: A Series of Unfortunate Events. For example, a difference that these two television shows have is that Alice goes to Wonderland once more.
