GROUP ASSIGNMENT #1

1. Foreshadowing - when the writer gives you clues about what is going to happen. Suspense - is fear and anxiety about what is going to happen in the future. 2. That fellow Lombard now, he was a queer chap. Page 37 "Good thing, perhaps, that one cannot foresee the future..." Page 36 Warm steaming water--tired limbs--presently a shave--a cocktail-dinner. And after--? Page 36 Funny place to meet him...here--out of the world. Page 34 3. Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were Nine. Nine little Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were Eight. Eight little Indian boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were Seven. Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were Six. Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were Five. Five little Indian boys going in for law; One got into Chancery and then there were Four. Four little Indian boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were Three. Three little Indian boys walking in the Zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were Two. Two Little Indian boys playing with a gun; One shot the other and then there was one. One little Indian boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none Page 31 No, she would not remember...She would //not// think of it! All of that was over... Page 32 4. For suspense I chose these examples because they all make me feel like something is going to happen to them. They make it seem like what was said is going to lead to something bad. As if they are thinking that Indian island is a little bit of a suspicious place. I think that they think that they were invited there for a bad reason. For foreshadowing I chose these examples because they seem like they could have some importance in the future of the book. It seems like they will come back in the book and have some effect on the story

Jack - Good observations. You have found good examples of both foreshadowing and suspense. They are closely related as foreshadowing builds suspense. Notice how the chapters end; for the most part, the endings keep the reader interested so that he or she does not want to put the book down. I find it interesting that you think the characters have bad feelings about being on the island. That bad feeling contributes to suspense as well. Mrs. M 12-4-12
