Book Report Paragraph 3: Setting

There are many settings in my book, "The Series Of Unfortunate Events; Book 5 The Austere Academy". Some of the settings I felt the book could do without. But other setting are very important, the book would be nothing without them. The first setting in my book isn't very important. The Baudelaire orphans, Violet Klaus and Sunny, are riding in the car with Mister Poe. Mister Poe's car is red. Rusty red. It is a very old Volk's Wagon and is almost as loud as Mister Poe's excessive coughing. The children and Mister Poe are driving through the Finite Forest. Mister Poe is driving the children to their new home. Finite Forest is very large. Some had argued with the name of it to try to get it changed to the Infinite Forest. The next setting in my story is Prufrock Preparatory Boarding School. The Baudelaire orphans are sent here because their last guardian, Sir Sal, was upset and done with them so he shipped them off to boarding school. The school is made up of many different buildings. The buildings vary in size but they are all the same shape. That one fine shape is a dark gray rectangle. All of the buildings are crowded on campus and there is an archway to get on the campus. This look fits the look of a graveyard. The children get a very bad first impression on their new school, especially because they've dealt a lot with deaths of close relatives. The campus is large, about six football fields in length and about eight football fields in width. On the far corner of campus, away from everything, is the Orphan's Shack. The Orphan's Shack is where the orphan's have to stay. They didn't pay a tuition, because they have no money. Orphan's who don't pay tuition have to stay in the Orphan's Shack. The shack is made of tin. It is not a very suitable place for three children to live. It is about the size of a large bathroom. There are no beds in the shack, only three small bales of hay. Violets bale is almost too small for her, her feet almost hang off the edge. Klaus’ bale is just about perfect, and obviously Sunny’s is too big. There is orange, smelly, dripping fungus on the ceiling that makes a very loud ”plop” sound when it drips to the floor. There are also little red crabs that run all around on the floor. These crabs like to pinch things, especially toes. Those are all of the important settings in my book, , "The Series Of Unfortunate Events; Book 5 The Austere Academy".
