HERO: THE KIDS!!!
1 The ordinary: The children have just lost their parents to a terrible fire, they have lost their home and all of their belongings.
2 Call – Mr Poe the social worker
sends them to their so called closest relative Count Olaf. Who they think is weird and creepy.
3 Refusal of the call Klaus Sunny and Violet are told to do a number of horrible chores. Until one day Klaus gets hit by Count Olaf, because he doesn’t agree with count Olaf and then he tries to escape and violet has to talk him out if it.
4 Threshold: Count Olaf puts them in front of a train and tries to kill them but Mr Poe takes them away from Olaf. Then they get taken to their uncle Monty’s.
5. Meeting with the mentor: Uncle Monty guides them happily on their journey about thing and helps them learn about people and lots about their parents and past.
6. Tests allies and enemies: Count Olaf comes as an imposter to kill Uncle Monty and get the children back so that he can get the fortune but the viper helps them by being nice to Sunny proving
Count Olaf wrong and the government can see that he was the imposter.
7. When Uncle Monty dies they go to their next of kin Aunt Josephine.
8. Aunt Josephine gets killed and it seems like Count has won they don’t know what to do then they realize her so called suicide note was actually a code and they find her at curdle cove.
9. Reward – They learn never to give up hope that there is always something. They have more knowledge, about life and how to deal with Count Olaf.
10: ………… There is no road back.
11. Resurrection: That Count Olaf is back and wants to get married to violet and steal all of their fortune through marriage. So Klaus sets fire to the paper as he finds the magnifier that set fire to the houses in the top of Olaf’s tower.
12. Return: They have found that there are bad people in the world and to trust no one. That there is always a way as Violet always quotes. That they do have each other’s talent because Klaus becomes
inventive to fix the marriage problem.
Explanation: This fits in our story by showing us how the story unfolds through the kids journey. It helps us understand the kids emotional journey with their parents and everything that is going on. It fits really well with the title A series of unfortunate events so it was easy to structure. The story line did not follow the hero's journey exactly to how it says. It fit with the emotional journey how the kids go through stages of being desperate for a new home being with Count Olaf and then being taken to Uncle Monty's this fits step 3-5 when they were unsettled they were moving to Count Olaf's. Then being reborn was Finding that Aunt Josephine was not dead an then desperate was Count marrying Violet. I had to change some of the steps around but otherwise it did fit quite nicely a little confusing sometimes.
