**Manuscript Document:** -Explains that Justice Wargrave killed all the travelers on the island - This letter is written from Justice Wargrave

**Climax:** -When they find the note that Justice Wargrave wrote saying that he was the one behind all the killings.

Katie- You've put lots of time and effort into these assignments. When the note is found, it resolves, or 'solves' all the unanswered questions; therefore it is not the climax. When Justice Wargrave fakes his death, the novel changes drastically. All the characters don't know whom to trust and their fearless leader is gone. Everything is downhill from there. Mrs. M

Sentence #2 about Vera Claythorne
**Captin Lombard-** Captin Lombard has done illegal things before. He is guilty of killing twenty one members of an East African tribe.

**Mr. Justice Wargrave-** He is a retired judge and is interested in Indian Island and it being bought. Justice Wargrave was invited to the Island by Constance Culmington and is guilty of murdering Edward Seton.

**Mr. Blore-** Mr. Blore claims that he is from South Africa, he says this because not many people know about South Africa so he is then able to tell people fibs about where he lived. He seems to know everyone that ventures onto the island**.**

**Dr. Armstrong-** He operates while he is drunk. He is a doctor that deals with satisfying women by diognaosing them with things they really don't have.

He was the first one to die by putting some sort of posin. He did drink often and was younger, about twenty-five, they think that he put the posin in is drink to kill himself.
 * Tony Marston- **

=== Our group chose to find four elements of foreshadowing. An example of it would be on page thirty-two "The sea...So peaceful to-day--sometimes so cruel...The sea that dragged you down to its depths. Drowned...Found drowned...Drowned at sea....Drowned--drowned---drowned..." I think that this small paragraph is foreshadowing because it is giving you clues that someone is going to drown and be found up on the shore dead because of the sea. Another example of foreshadowing is on page thirty-six states that " good thing, perhaps that one can't foresee the future." This is an example of foreshadowing because the old man that Mr. Blore was taking to was correct that judgment day was coming for Mr. Blore in the near future. One more example of foreshadowing is located on page twenty-six "Queer business when you came to think of it--the whole thing was queer--very queer..." I think this is an example of foreshadowing because it means that Fred Narracott knows that something is suspicious and wrong with this whole thing. He may become a much bigger character in the story because he knows that something is wrong. The final example of foreshadowing is the poem located on page thirty-three. The poem states, ===

He went and hanged himself and then there were none."
=== I think this is an example of foreshadowing because these could be ten ways that the people on the island die. There are ten ways that people die in this poem and I think that these could possibly be then ten ways that the characters on the island die too. For example one could get killed by a bear or one could get killed by hanging them self. Also at the end of this poem there is the line "and then there were none" which is also the title of the book which gives you some ideas on why the book was named this. With all of these forms of foreshadowing it gives you some hints on what is going to happen next. Which makes me wonder...are these predictions really going to happen, and if they are then when? ===

Your group chose wisely. Good examples of foreshadowing. Mrs. M

how might the title be a clue to the story?
=== A mystery novel has many characteristics that express what it is and how it makes you, the reader, feel. A narrative story is different from a mystery story in many ways. A mystery novel can have you on the edge of your chair waiting to see what will happen next. Or it can give you questions to ponder about while you are reading the book. You could be thinking, will she live, who is the thief, or what is going to happen next. A narrative story can make you feel different emotions happy, sad, worried, or angry. Even though a mystery story may make you feel this way as well mostly mystery stories have stronger emotions. A narrative story usually has a narrator and is written in third person. When a mystery is usually put in the perspective of a character. Even though mystery and narrative novels are different they both are two of my favorite types of books to read. The title And Then There Was None gives me the impression that people are going to die. I think this because when we hear the word none, we think of the no more or all gone. However, some titles can be misleading so the title is a mystery in this suspenseful mystery book. === === A prediction that I have that might not be coming up in the next chapter is that the characters will end up on island. Trying to find a ways to survive. I think that because it is a mystery book there will be some sort of thief or killer. So perhaps the killer or thief will be secretly among them on the island first taking valuable items. Then slowing killing everyone person by person. As we get into the rising action of the book I think it will become more suspenseful. I enjoy predicting what will happen in the book and then seeing if my prediction was correct or not. === Nice answers, Katie. Thoughtful and thorough! Mrs. M
