Walsh+And+Then+There+Were+None

﻿ Back to home page! Homework Page 11/1/2010 Setting: The characters begin in New England and travel by train to Devon. The island to wich they are going is called Indian Island. It is off the coast of Devon. They then travel by boat to " Mr. Owens " mansion. I believe this takes place maybe around the 1930s to 1940.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">10/21/2010 <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">1. "The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The Lord is known by the judgement which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into hell." (page 38)

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This a great example of foresight. It may be telling us that this could happen later in the book, someone on the island might die. The person who does wicked acts, will get punished for his or her works. This would result in the murderer going to hell. This also could be telling us that someone who is trying to plot a murder could get caught.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">2. Remember this island when I was a kid. Never thought I'd be doing this sort of job in a house here. Good thing perhaps, that one can't foresee the future...." (page 36)

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">There are many examples of foresight in this book, especially in chapter two. This is a good example of one of them. It infers that something bad will happen in the future. Who will be involved in this misfortune, I do not know. The person saying this, Mr. Blore, states that it is a good thing that no one can see the future, allowing him to hopefully get away with something he is plotting.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3. "She looked like a women who walked in mortal fear...." (p. 29) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This could possibly be an insight into her past. It is possible this could be inferring that she is either hiding something or she is regretful for something. This is because it said she "walked in mortal fear" witch makes me believe she has possibly murdered someone in the past or she did something bad that is making her act in such a way.

 * =====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Read chapter two. =====

 * =====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Each member of your group must write on his or her WIKI page the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written. =====
 * =====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Then, in a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing. =====

 * =====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative? =====
 * =====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">how might the title be a clue to the story? =====

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A narrative is from the author or narrator's point of view. A narrative has little room to go to diffrent character's points of view. However a mystery can jump around to diffrent characters rather than having to stick to one. Also a mystery is a diffrent kind of subject. Mysterys include secrets ,clues, and possibly detectives and crimes.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think that the title is forshawdowing a huge part of the story. I believe no matter what it is most likely forshadowing a possibly death. However that could be a charater possibly dying or one of the characters killing another character. Whatever is in this book, I hope it explains the title.

Good! Mrs. M
