10/22/10 3. "She looked like a women who walked in mortal fear...." (p. 29)  This could possibly be an insight into her past. It is possible this could be inferring that she is either hiding something or she is regretful for something. This is because it said she "walked in mortal fear" witch makes me believe she has possibly murdered someone in the past or she did something bad that is making her act in such a way. "Remember this island when I was a kid. Never thought I'd be doing this sort of job in a house here. Good thing perhaps, that one can't foresee the future...." (page 36)

There are many examples of foresight in this book, especially in chapter two. This is a good example of one of them. It infers that something bad will happen in the future. Who will be involved in this misfortune, I do not know. The person saying this, Mr. Blore, states that it is a good thing that no one can see the future, allowing him to hopefully get away with something he is plotting.

Ten little Indian boys out to dine; One chocked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself anfd then there were eight.

Eight Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Indian boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Indian boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Indian boys walking in the Zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun; One got all frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

(page 31)

This poem is a good example of foreshadowing. The poem states all the Indian boys will slowly disappear. Their are ten Indian boys in the poem and their are ten people on the island. Also the people in the poem are Indian boys and the island in called Indian Island. I predict that all the people on the island will disappear slowly just like the poem. Most of the people on the island will die because that is what happened in the poem.

"The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The Lord is known by the judgement which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into hell." (page 38)

This a great example of foresight. It may be telling us that this could happen later in the book, someone on the island might die. The person who does wicked acts, will get punished for his or her works. This would result in the murderer going to hell. This also could be telling us that someone who is trying to plot a murder could get caught.

Ryan - Good insights; your group chose good examples of foreshadowing. Mrs. M

October 19, 2010 =** how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative? ** = =<span style="font-size: 1.4em; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">** how might the title be a clue to the story? ** =

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">
===A narrative is a story told in a series of events by a narrarator. A mystery story usually contains a murder or a crime. Also, a mystery is told by many different people's perspectives. The title might be a clue because it says what will happen. In this case, //And Then There Were None// most likely means that by the end of the story there won't be any people left on Indian Island.===

===I think that in this book many things will happen. I think that when they all get to Indian Island one person at a time will get murdered. This will end with no more people left on the island. I think the first person to get murdered thought will be the guy on the train who gets told by the old guy that the judgment day is near. This all will end with noone left which makes sense because of the title saying that there will be no more people there.===

Good. Mrs. M
