SPOILER ALERT Book 1, Series of Unfortunate Events

        I am currently reading book 1, series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket. This book is about 3 kids, Klaus, Violet, and Sunny with a foster parents because their parents had died. They go through some really hard times together. In the end, Count Olaf ( their foster parent) wants the money and nothing else. Count Olaf tries to get the money my marring Violet in play pretending like its a play but really, the papers are actually marriage papers.
      Count Olaf may have his sneaky tricks by trying to get the money. At first he tries his bad treatments, but then when the kids complain, he tries to act better. while the kids may have not know him for such a longtime, they now him long to understand what Olaf's next move is. The kids are very smart. They use every resource around them to get to the truth. Like his neighbor, Justice Strauss. She is a judge, and has a wide variety of books, especially law books. Therefore, the kids could look at how Olaf would get money from the kids. Klaus used his skills to outsmart count Olaf by following his ever move.  He never gave up on Olaf. Because his guts told him that Olaf was evil and was only up to the money.  Violet at points didn't really know who to trust.  Because Olaf didn't try to do evil to them, but just showed that he tried.  Sunny is little and didn't really know what's going on, but she could feel that things were getting bad. Olaf doesn't try to stop even if the kids are behind his back, he just continues to get the money. But it isn't really worth it, because he just ends up failing. Instead he looses more than gaining it. The kids can only trust themselves  because they can only tell each other anything and not be afraid to talk. Like even justice Strauss thought that Olaf was all good, even when the  kids confronted her.  Overall, family is the only people you can trust when times become hard because everyone in family has a connection within.

As Klaus would think he would think that once our guts say something, we should stay with our guts unless proven or given some evidence. You can't fully prove something. It's all the way you want it too be. Like you can't prove that Olaf is evil, evil is different to everyone.
