For my book, “The Series Of Unfortunate Events; Book 5 The Austere Academy”, There is really only one main theme or lesson learned throughout the whole book. “Do not judge a book by its cover.”
This lesson or theme is learned right away. The Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus and Sunny, go to lunch one day. While they are at lunch they can not find a table to go sit at. Two people, a boy and a girl that look exactly like each other, motion Violet, Klaus, and Sunny over to come sit by them. The Baudelaires introduce them selves and ask what them twin’s names are, but they are not wins. The two children inform the Baudelaire siblings that they are not twins, and that their names are Isadora and Quigley. They are, in fact, triplets. Their other brother, Quigley, was lost in a fire along with their parents. Do not judge a book by its cover. The Baudelaires jumped to conclusions and thought the Quagmire triplets were twins.
The next time this lesson comes into place is when Count Olaf comes to Prufrock Preparatory Boarding School pretending to be Coach Genghis. All of the adults at Prufrock Preparatory Boarding School think that Coach Genghis is really a gym coach. Only the Baudelaires, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny can see that he is really Count Olaf in disguise. All of the adults judged Count Olaf by his cover. They did not look deep enough to see the true him. Also, when Count Olaf comes, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are always on the look out for Olaf. Where ever they go they are super wary. They judged Count Olaf’s book by his cover too. They expected Count Olaf to have a simple, easy plan that they could just figure out easily. Count Olaf is way sneakier, far more evil, and extra devious that he wouldn’t have such and easy plan that the Baudelaire children could figure it out so soon. His plan was so treacherous that the children couldn’t figure out his trap until it was almost over. Count Olaf almost had the Baudelaires, along with their fortune, in his grasp. If Violet, Klaus, and Sunny would not have jumped to conclusions so quickly about Count Olaf, they could have planned better for when Olaf tried to capture them at last.
Always remember, don’t judge a book by his cover. You may have to dig deep to find the real meaning of something. Also, you should always try to think of the possible out comes of something.
That is the theme of my story, “The Series Of Unfortunate Events; Book 5 The Austere Academy”. Thank you for reading, and have a good day/night.

You write nicely, Aly, always changing the format of your sentences. This makes your writing easy and pleasurable to read because it has such nice fluency. I'd challenge you to dig deeper into theme, however. This is more difficult because of the book you've chosen- nothing wrong with it, but really a sinmple book- that makes the challenge harder. Choose a less apparant theme, dig deeper, one that isn't just about assuming someone is a twin, rather than a triplet.
