"Monday, October 24, Reading Log #3, Topic Choice #2- Conflict"

           The main conflict in this story is that the Baudelaire children are living with Count Olaf. Count Olaf is pretending to be their Uncle. They went with him because their parents died in a fire. The problem affects the children because Olaf does not treat them well. Count Olaf is trying to marry Violet. He's going to make a play to get to marry Violet. The play is not fake but they think it's fake. The conflict is external because they are going to fight Olaf. Also internal because they are scared that something could happen to them and get separated. The conflict is personal because it would only affect them and not the rest. They can get separated and lose their fortune. The people would not get affected and  nothing would change in their lives but the children it would.
