This part of the book is when they are digging a hole. They are going to try and trap Count Olaf's girlfriend Esme. They know that she likes cigarettes and thinks that she will come down looking for cigarettes. They dig a really big hole or a pit what ever you want to call it. Violet asks Klaus if he has a pitcher and he does. So that is what they make the pit with. All three of them take turns digging the hole.

i really like this part because it is clever. It is also pretty cool. I would have thought of digging the hole with the pitcher though. That part is kind of obvious. I think anyone would have done it with the pitcher if they had it. It was clever to think of the idea to dig the pit in the first place. That was a good idea.

I also liked this part because i think it is cool. It is cool to have a little bit of violence in a book. There isn't really any violence but just the thought of it. Just someone falling into a hole is a kind of funny. You could hear them screaming and the thud. That would be really funny. Then the time leading up to it would be nothing but anxiety.

If you were in the kids situation would you have dug a hole or made something else to catch Esme? why or why not?
