In the fictional story, Slippery Slope, by Lemony Snicket, the villains go to the mountains where there is a frozen waterfall and make a toddler do all the chores, the toddler needed to make the villains breakfast and lunch. This scene is important because the toddler will be able to see if her brother and sister will come find her, so the toddler looks down at everything near the waterfall to see when and where her brother and sister were. It creates a problem because the villains will get suspicious about the toddler continuing to looking down at the waterfall once in awhile. Sunny the toddler finally see’s her siblings come to get her and she looked really happy that the villains got really suspicious that Sunny was looking down at the frozen waterfall. This part of the story is part of the rising action because Sunny see’s her siblings but her siblings haven’t rescued her yet from the villains. In the book, it says on page 60 and 61, “Like many streams, the stricken stream originated within the rocks of the mountains and in the warmer season, Sunny could see that it cascaded down from the highest peak and an enormous waterfall. But this was not a warm time of year, and just as Sunny’s tears had frozen on her face, the waterfall had frozen solid, into a long, slippery slope that disappeared into the darkness below.” According to page 63, it says, ”She wouldn’t dare,” Count Olaf said, “and even if she tried to survive in the mountains by herself, we could see where she went. That's why we're staying here at the summit. We’ll know if the brat escapes or if anyone's coming after us, because we can see everything and everyone for miles and miles.” I predict that Sunny’s siblings, Klaus her brother and her sister Violet, will rescue Sunny from Count Olaf and his troupe, the villains.
