Expository/Informational Assignment: Pretend that you are Dr. Phil or Oprah and interview the Baudelaire children. Develop questions to ask them and create responses.
Dr.Phil: Welcome to another addition of Dr. Phil. Today we will be interviewing a dastardly devious devil, the maniacal Count Olaf who’s been trying to plunder the Baudelaire Fortune for countless years. Dr.Phil: So, Count Olaf why did you plot to steal the Baudelaire fortune? Does it have something to do with a grudge against their parents? Count Olaf: Well, no I don’t have a grudge between their parents, I just want to be rich and greedy. Dr.Phil: Are you sure? Count Olaf: Yes, I’m positive. I only burned their houses, killed their parents and assumed the identity of a legal guardian so that I could legally acquire their fortune and no one could stop me. Dr. Phil: Well, why do you want to be rich and greedy? And why didn’t you treat the children with respect like you should of? Count Olaf: First of all, everyone wants to be rich and greedy because you get whatever you want and never have to share with anyone. I did not treat the orphans with respect so I could crush their spirits. They would be depressed and couldn’t figure me out. They would give up easier. Dr.Phil: Why do you feel the need to be so malevolent in your endeavors? Count Olaf: I’m malevolent in my endeavors because it is easier to be mean after years of practice than to been nice for the first time. Dr.Phil: Well that’s all the time we have for today next time we will interview the Baudelaire children. Count Olaf: Goodbye fools!
