<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Times,helvetica,sans-serif;">1."There's a wasp crawling up your arm. No- keep quite still." (page 20)

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Times,helvetica,sans-serif;">2. "Good looking fellow. Something just a little wrong with him......" (page 21)

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Times,helvetica,sans-serif;">3. "Funny place to meet him... here--out of the world". (page 34)

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Times,helvetica,sans-serif;">4. "Indian Island, eh? There's a fly in the ointment." (page 35)

These show suspense because they are sudden, shocking, and unexpected moments in the book that make you want to keep reading. These keep you reading because it is common for a person to want to know what happens if something is exiting. Some of these sentences give us a glimpse of what might happen; this is called foreshadowing. In sentence #4, it tells us that there is something going on with Indian Island that is strange and mysterious. In sentence #2 it says,"there is something wrong with him", which tells us that something to do with that person might effect the story in a huge way.

Good quotes and good explanations. I especially like the 4th one. What does it mean to have a 'fly in the ointment'? Mrs. M

10/19/2010 **how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative? ** I think that a mystery is different than a narrative because it is normally not told by the person who is going through something but it is told by and author about somebody else. Mysteries a lot of the time have questions that need to be answered in the story. They are trying to figure out something.

**how might the title be a clue to the story?** I think that the title is giving a clue away about some sort of disappearance or maybe a death of somebody.

What about the link to the 'here' page? It's missing. Mrs. M
