The man they met sent them to live with their foster parent Count Olaf was mean man and sent them to a horrible room in the top of the house.

At the end Klaus had to climb up a building and get Sunny out of a locked cage so Count Olaf didn’t press a button and let her fall.
I am most like Klaus because of what he did in the end of the story. He climbed to the top of the building to save his sister from getting dropped by Count Olaf by hitting a button. I am like him because I had to climb up a big tree to get a cat and to get a football.
