Most useful Baudelaire orphan in TMM

[colette]

Who was the most useful?

[Dante]

I voted for Sunny, whose teeth were the only things standing between the Baudelaires and ugly murder by sword. Klaus was useless for pretty much the entire novel, and Violet was right out of her comfort zone as well.

[colette]

But Klaus saved Charles's live.

[csc]

Nevertheless, he was the one to put his life in danger in the first place, hypnotized.
I voted for Violet because, like Dante mentioned, Klaus was pretty useless the whole book and Sunny, even though she saved everyone from Dr. Orwell, that's about all she did. In the rest of the book all she did was have sore teeth. But Violet, even out of her confort zone, did pretty well and found out numerous things about hypnotizing, also found out the word that made Klaus go back to normal and she played a big part on saving Charles' life, because if she hadn't learned the word to make Klaus go back to normal, Charles would die and Klaus would've never had the chance to create his invention- which was pretty ludacris, in my opinion.

My reasoning was similar to csc's: I'm voting for Violet for her ability to expand her skills beyond her usual field, perseverance, and the fact that she solved TMM's main problem. (Not that Sunny didn't help out; more that her infancy prevented her from reaching what Violet was able to accomplish.)

[colette]

Yeah, Violet helped them a lot.

[csc]

Yes, Sherry Ann puts it in a far more simple way .

[allegedly bryan]

I voting for Violet as well for being successful while out of her comfort zone. Although I guess it's difficult to sword fight with your mouth as well...

[discosoup]

Sunny is the best bark stripper in the world.

[badhalloweif]

I think it is Klaus. He found out that Uncle Monty was murdered because he is a wide reader..

[Dante]

That didn't happen in TMM, though. And indeed, part of the point of TMM was to force Klaus to do something other than employ his literary knowledge and ability to read carefully.

[Leanora Crowe]

I have to vote for Violet as well, for she perseveres in the face of adversity, and she learns to do things that she is uncomfortable with.
