Yesterday we took notes on doing interviews and how to properly prepare to do one. First of all I'd like to say that I really wish we learned how to do more relevant things in high school, because they don't really give a whole lot of preparation for what we actually need to do in college. I mean, yeah in career class I did an interview and yeah I had to write it up and stuff, but it was nothing like this. It was just a list of questions and answers, there was no compiling it into an article or anything like that. Plus interviewing my grandma and asking her how things have changed wasn't really that big of a learning experience. Yes, I love her and all, but I already know what things were like back then. After all, isn't that what history class is for?
Anyway I did some thinking and I decided that if I could interview anyone in the world (I decided that whole "who would you have dinner with in heaven?" thing was over used, so I didn't include dead people in my brainstorming) it would probably be Lemony Snicket. Author of an absolutely incredible book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Lemony Snicket (which is, of course, only a pen name. His real name is Daniel Handler) remains somewhat of a mystery to me. I've always wondered a lot about the series, and the "Unauthorized Autobiography" book is just a mystery in itself. Not a whole lot of questions get answered, and it just makes you more curious. I've compiled a list of questions that I would ask:
What really happened to Mr and Mrs Baudelaire?
Why was Count Olaf such a jerk?
What happened to Isadora and Duncan Quagmire after they flew off in the hot air balloon?
What in the world became of the Baudelaire orphans?
I'm honestly afraid to ask the last question because the poster I got from "The Beatrice Letters" has some debris from a shipwreck, which was the last thing they did in the very last book. Assuming they did crash their boat and drown, I really don't want to know.
Also, the movie compiled the first three books into an hour and a half with Jim Carrey. Not good.
