 * Read chapter two.
 * On your student page ABOVE assignment #1, choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
 * Find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
 * Write the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written.
 * In a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.

"if you will go on" It sounds like the person was asking someone to follow him "it's a long way out" It sounds like he was going to fall in to trouble with something "thats a very small boat" It sounds like someone was going to get killed in the boat "will you come this way, please" sounds like someone was going to have a murder happen

I picked this reasons because they all sounded like suspense. They all sounded like someone was going to get killed. All of them made me keep reading because at some points I wanted to stop reading it. For example, "it's a long way out" sounds like he was going to fall in to trouble with something. And those are some reasons why I picked them.

Chris- Your page is still not linked to any other page. You were to link this to the 'AND THEN THERE WERE NONE' page and to the 'Student Pages'. Please do so. If you need help, please ask and I will meet with you to do this.

You have a start on the answers. Be sure and read over your posts; reading the posts out loud often helps the reader (you) to hear your mistakes.

A mystery story is a story that has a mystery in it that people solve. It is a story that has mystery in it that you have to figure out during the reading. A narrative is a story that has speech that describes a sequence of fictional or non-fictional events. The story title to me sounds like it has murder in it. It might also have a war in it.
 * Assignment #1 November 30, 2009**
 * =** how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative? **=
 * =** how might the title be a clue to the story? **=

Chris, Good answers. You're right; readers have to solve a mystery.
