Suspense!!!!! 12/2/09
 * "But the motor boat had gone back to the mainland. He'd have to stay."- General MacArthur
 * "Her lips moved as she followed the words: '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 judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into hell.' Her lips closed tightly." - Miss Emily Brent
 * "Warm steaming water-tired limbs-presently a shave- a cocktail-dinner. And after-?"- Anthony Marston
 * "He was smiling to himself. A week--eh? He was going to enjoy himself."- Philip Lombard

I find suspense in these quotes for different reasons. For the general's quote, I think that builds suspense by telling you there is no way off of the island trapping all of the people in the castle. This is key because if no one can leave the island and someone gets murdered they are all trapped to be the slayer's minions which I think builds suspense. For Miss Brent, I find it peculiar for an old and proper woman to be reading such violent material and maybe she will perform this to her fellow "vacationers." Maybe she is a murderer and intends on killing which I think builds suspense. Anyway this passage makes me thinks someone is going to die. For Anthony's comment, I find it weird for him to just cut off like that in the middle of a sentence. I think he is up to something illicit or maybe he is just confused with the purpose his host and hostess have invited them and their intentions for them which I think builds suspense. For Philip's comment, I think there is a evil reason for why he is smiling to himself like he has intentions of murder or other illicit activities which I think builds suspense. This is how I think these quotes build suspense.

Quotes are good choices and paragraph explains them well. I like the word minions. Question for you: Isn't Miss Brent reading the Bible??? You might want to check your comment regarding the 'violent reading material'. Mrs. M

This title might be a clue to this story because of these reasons. When I see Then there were none I think there were people and now they are gone. When I think of people disappearing I think of murders. So I get the clue of murders and people going missing by the title.

=== Assignment: Add a new page. Create a link from your page to the student pages. On your new page, answer the two questions above in one solid paragraph. In the second paragraph, make one prediction - something that you think might happen or something that you might expect about a character in the story. ===

I have a hunch about one of the characters in this story. I think Philip Lombard is a little shady. I think his racism could cause some anger in the future of this story. Also, him being the only one to stay around and wait with Miss Vera Claythorne was a little peculiar. This my prediction about Captain Philip Lombard.

William, Great job with linking all the pages. Are you sure about a narrative not having a problem? Doesn't every story have some element that needs to be solved? Be sure you check for run-ons, spelling, usage, and punctuation errors.
