Hayden- I found your earlier version and restored the information that was lost. Whew! Good job on describing the characters. Mrs. M

December 1st ch.2 1. The Ten Little Indians poem is an example of foreshadowing because it tells how the ten people on the island will die. For example, "Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine." This explains how the first person, Anthony Martson, died. He died by choking on poison.

2. "Queer business when you came to think of it- the whole thing was queer- very queer...." This is an example of foreshadowing because this statement is saying that this island and the whole situation on the island is weird and not as it should be. In these mysterious situations, things usually happen that should not happen.

3. "She would NOT think of it! All that was over." This is an example of foreshadowing because things were not over on the island; it was just beginning. It was actually the opposite of being over. When they were at the dinner table, the record played and mentioned everyone's past concerning who they murdered.

4. "That fellow Lombard now, he was a queer chap. Not straight. He'd swear the man's not straight." This is foreshadowing because this is giving the suggestion that Lombard is going to do something that is not right, and he will act like someone he's not later in the book.

These examples clearly show foreshadowing because they hint about events that might happen later in the book. In the examples of foreshadowing I have stated above, the events do occur later in the book. Foreshadowing is one of the main reasons that this book is so good. Once the foreshadowing proves to be true, you can't put the book down. For example, if your foreshadowing was correct, you would want to find out what happens next. On the other hand, if your foreshadowing is not correct, you would also want to read on and find out what happens next. So, either way, foreshadowing can get you hooked into a story very easily.

You're right. Foreshadowing works both way...either way the author has done what he or she wants - and that's to keep you reading! The foreshadowing that leads you on a wild goose chase also adds to the story line. You have to decide whether the clues are red herrings or whether they are clues that are valuable. A reader has to use critical thinking skills as well as logic to figure out who is guilty and who is not. Glad you're "hooked'! Mrs. M

= = =** A mystery differs from a narrative because a mystery, I think, has a more mysterious, exciting plot. Anything can happen at any time in a mystery story while in a narrative you can sometimes predict what will happen. I think the plot of a mystery story is more exciting .**= = = = = = = =** A title might give a clue to the story, because it could give a clue to what the story is about. For example, And Then There Were None suggests that people might disappear in the story. That is much more exciting than for example a history book or a narrative. Hayden- I agree; mystery stories often seem to be more exciting. What do you mean in your first sentence? It seems that is contradictory to your other statements. Can you make predictions for both kinds of stories? Authors want you to predict so that you will keep reading to see if your predictions are correct. Remember to check for errors in spelling, punctuation, and usage. Please link this page to the students pages as well as the page with the prompts. Mrs. M **=
