 * Assignment #2 (to be done in class on Wednesday, December 2) **


 * Put a line between Assignment #1 and Assignment #2.
 * 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.

I chose to look for examples of foreshadowing in chapter two.

In chapter two there is a passage that reads, "The faded blue eyes, shrewd in spite of their age, sized up Lumbard. For a moment a judgment showed in them--had there been any one to read it. " Good looking fellow. Something just a little wrong about him...." This passage shows fore shadowing because, it gives a sense that there may end up being trouble that involves Lombard and General MacArthur.

" She had pictured it differently, close to shore, crowned with a beautiful white house. But there was no house visible, only the boldly silhouetted rock with it's faint resemblance to a giant indians head. There was something sinister about it. She shivered faintly." This passage foreshadows the dark events we know will happen at the house when it says, " There was something sinister about it."

" Queer business when you came to think of it--the whole thing was queer--very queer." This foreshadowing, done by the man who drives the boat, gives more of that sense of unease and suspense. almost like a warning about the future.

" The sea that dragged you down to its depths. Drowned...Found drowned...Drowned at sea....Drowned--drowned--drowned....No she wouldn't remember.... She would not think of it! All that was over...." This is possibly foreshadowing a future revelation of some dark thing in her past that may be the reason she is here on the island.

Jack- Some good quotes and predictions about what they may foreshadow. Check your spelling (Lumbard, fore shadowing, etc.) Don't forget to add lines between assignments. For now I have added them for you. Mrs. M.

Assignment no. 1

1. A mystery and a narrative are different because a mystery is about characters trying to solve a problem or a puzzle, while a narrative is just telling a story.

2. The title of this book could be a clue to the story because, it souds like there were a group of people and they were slowly " picked off " until no one was left. This book is a murder mystery so that clue fits the mold better than anything else. and then there were none page

Jack- Good job of comparing novels to mysteries. In your #2, check for proper punctuation and consistency in verb tense. Link this page to the student pages and to the page with the prompts.

Chapter 3: The characters socialize and become more comfortable with each other. A strange voice is heard yelling accusations about all of the characters.

Chapter 4:

They explain the accusations made against them. We learn that Dr. Armstrong once killed a woman by doing a surgery while drunk. We learn that the boat that is supposed to come to the island every day has not, and probably will not, come.

Chapter 5: Anthony Marston suddenly dies. We learn why the General sent Richmond to his death.

Chapter 6: Mrs. Rodgers dies in her sleep. There are only eight figures on the table. ( there were ten to start.)

Chapter 7: We learn what the circumstances were when Emily Brent committed her murder. We find out the connection between the nursery rhyme and the killings.

Chapter 8: We discover that Mr. Lombard has a revolver. The searchers find that there is no one on the island but themselves.

Chapter 9: Mr. Lombard reveals the reason why he has brought a revolver to the island. General MacArthur is discovered dead.

Chapter 10: Rodgers tries to hide the indian boys.

Chapter 11: Rodgers is found killed with an ax. Vera Claythorne has a panic attack.

Chapter 12: Emily Brent is found killed by an injection of poison. Lombard's revolver is found to be missing. Chapter 13: Justice Wargrave's body is found dressesd like a judge. Vera has another panic attack.

Chapter 14: Lombard's revolver is put back in its drawer. Lombard and Blore suspect Dr. Armstrong.

Chapter 15: The remaining characters try heliographing an S.O.S. to the mianland. Armstrong is discovered floating in the surf.

Chapter: 16 Vera kills Lombard and is now alone on the island. Vera hangs herself and no one is left.

Epilogue: we find out that the killer has still not been captured and that authorities are baffled by this murder.

Manuscript: A written manuscript is sent to the police explaining how this murder was performed, and taking credit for the crimes. The manuscript is signed Lawrence Wargrave.

And then what? Are you finished? What about the epilogue and the manuscript? Have you put each assignment above the other? Some cutting and pasting would rectify that. Mrs. M
