 * With your small group, find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
 * 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.

 * Read chapter three for Monday, October 25.

Suspense: "Queer business (taking so many diverse people to the island) when you came to think of it — the whole thing was queer — very queer...." (p. 26) "One little Indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none." (p. 31) "Nobody had been exactly cordial to him.... Funny the way they all eyed each other — as though they //knew//...." (p. 36) "He glanced up at the framed nursery rhyme over the mantelpiece. Neat touch, having that there!" (p. 36)

In Chapter 2, there are many examples of suspense. We all agree that these examples really keep the reader interested in the story. Although we have not been introduced to the mystery in this story yet, these suspenseful happenings help the mystery to evolve.

The first example we found was when Fred Narracott is taking the group over to Indian Island for their stay. He thinks to himself, "Queer business (taking so many diverse people to the island) when you came to think of it — the whole thing was queer — very queer...." This is suspenseful because if Mr. and Mrs. Owens are indeed wealthy, then why would they invite such a diverse group of people, who are both rich and poor?

Another example of suspense is when Vera Claythorne looks over the main fireplace. She then sees a poem. The last line of the nursery rhyme said, "One little Indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none." We felt that this was suspenseful because it partly made reason to the book's title. However, we do not yet know the significance of this poem. That is up for the reader to guess. Perhaps Mr. Blore knows what this poem means, because page 36 states, "Nobody had been exactly cordial to him.... Funny the way they all eyed each other — as though they //knew//...." We agree that this a great example of suspense. It leads the reader to question, "What does he know that the others don't?"

The last example of suspense we used was also when Mr. Blore was thinking, and then he sees the nursery rhyme Vera Clayborne previously saw. "He glanced up at the framed nursery rhyme over the mantelpiece. Neat touch, having that there!" (p. 36) This thought of his is probably the best example of suspense in Chapter 2. If Mr. Blore thinks this is such a "neat touch", does he have any insight as to what the poem means? Why does he think it is such a neat touch?

As you can now see, this chapter is filled with suspense. We believe there are so many examples because this chapter is pivotal to building the rest of the story. If the reader is not hooked by Chapter 1, he would certainly be now, due to Chapter 2's extreme suspense.

Great group response! Mrs. M

=Assignment 1= 10/19/10= = how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative? = = how might the title be a clue to the story? = A mystery consists of a specific event or problem that a character encounters. It keeps you reading because there is suspense throughout the book. The conclusion at the end of a mystery usually is not what you would expect. A narrative on the other hand, is more of a real story. It is something that can happen everyday and usually tells a short story. The title And Then There Were None infers to me that there will be something that disappears in the book. Since it is a mystery written by Agatha Christe, it probably has a missing person and a murder. = Prediction = In this book, there is one character who seems mystical. He invited ten people to Indian Island without much explanation. He seems very incognito. I think he has something up his sleeve.

Kev- Like the vocabulary word - perfect fit for this story! Both types of genre tell a story; the mystery has suspense and often leaves you with a cliffhanger at the end of a chapter to keep you reading. All good books do that - but maybe a little differently in a narrative vs. the mystery. Mrs. M
