==== comment-While doing the assignment Marco and I found that we had to double check a few answers that he was unsure of but eventually we found the answer. The process underscored the importance of not only reading for retention but for comprehension. It was a good experience. - Tony Quintero ====

1. suspense- a state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen foreshadowing- be a warning or indication of a future event 2. suspense 1. "Dearest Lawrence...such years since I heard anything of you...must come to Indian Island...the most enchanting place...so much to talk over...old days...communion with Nature...bask in sunshine...12:40 from Paddington...meet you at Oakbridge...and his correspondent signed herself with a flourish his every Constance Culmington" Page 2 2. "No, I've never been here before." She added quickly, conscientiously determined to make her position clear at once, "I haven't even seen my employer yet." Page 19 3. "Perhaps, after, all it was Miss Gabrielle Turl who had bought the island. But that theory departed from him as he surveyed his passengers." Page 25 4. "After that the rumours of the gossip writers had started. Indian Island had really been bought by Miss Gabrielle Turl, the Hollywood film star!" Page 2 foreshadow 1.Vera Claythorne thought: "The catering must be very difficult. That's the worst of an island. All the domestic problems are so worrying." page 27 2. "Illuminated by the setting sun, they had their first glimpse of Indian Island jutting up out of the sea to the south". page 22

3. "The boat churned its way round the rock. Now the last house came into view. The south side of the island was quite different. It shelved gently down to the sea. The house was there facing south-low and square and modern-looking with rounded windows lettering in all the light." page 26

4. Vera said, surprised: "it's a long way out." page 22

We chose these examples because we thought that they would make great examples of the mystery part of the story. the examples make you wonder what will happen in the future. It also fits the theme of suspense and foreshadow. The quotes that display suspense really fit the meaning. Those are the reasons why my examples display suspense and foreshadow

Marco - You're right. Your quotes are good examples of suspense and foreshadowing as the two are closely related. Your explanation could be a bit stronger as you explain your choices. Keep looking for clues as we continue reading the next few chapters. Mrs. M 12-4-12
