When Misfortune Becomes a School Subject

Imagine being shoved aside by the rudest child in the world on your first day at a new school. This is precisely what happens to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire when they encounter Carmelita Spats at Prufrock Preparatory School. The Baudelaire orphans have already endured unimaginable tragedy - their parents perished in a terrible fire, and they've been pursued relentlessly by the villainous Count Olaf, who will stop at nothing to steal their fortune. Standing on the mossy brick sidewalks of their new school, the shy Baudelaires hope for a respite from their misfortunes. The school's stone arch bears the motto "Memento Mori" ("Remember you will die"), a grim welcome that perfectly captures the atmosphere of their new educational home. Their optimism quickly evaporates upon meeting Vice Principal Nero, a bald man with ridiculous pigtails who mocks their concerns about Count Olaf and outlines the school's harsh rules. Without parental permission slips, they cannot live in the comfortable dormitory. Instead, they must stay in a tin shack with hay bales for beds - the aptly named "Orphans Shack." Have you ever had a bad living situation? The Baudelaire orphans would trade places with you in a heartbeat. The Orphans Shack was beyond awful - tiny and furnished only with hay bales for beds that poked through their clothes, while entire colonies of aggressive crabs snapped their claws at anyone who disturbed them. Light tan fungus grew across the ceiling, constantly dripping moisture that the siblings had to dodge like some perverse game of musical chairs. The fungus gave off a peculiar musty odor reminiscent of forgotten cheese. Most offensively, the tin walls were painted bright green with tacky pink hearts - a decorative choice that somehow made their miserable accommodation even more depressing. Could this school possibly be worse than facing Count Olaf? The Baudelaires are about to find out that sometimes, education can be the cruelest lesson of all.
