Rhetorical Reflections: The Bad Beginning

My notable moment from this book is just how different it is from the movie. I almost feel like they could be two different stories that just happened to have the same characters. One of the most intense scenes in the movie was when the Uncle Olaf tried to kill them by locking them in the care and leaving it on train tracks. The children were barely able to escape only because of their special abilities to chew, read and invent. Their uncles attempted murder was not even mentioned through the book. I find it very interesting just how different the movie and book are.
