Dear Mrs. McCarragher,
Thank you for having Joe share the wiki pages with me...this is an incredible book and such a fun way of sharing the insights of this book! T. Hobbs ====__** Group assignment number 1 **__==== suspense-the state or character of being undecided or doubtful foreshadowing-to represent, indicate, or typify beforehand __**suspense**__ 1. Mr. Owen was not there for dinner. All of the guests were puzzled on why he was not able to get there until tomorrow. But instructions were left there for them and "dinner would be at 8 o'clock." page 28 2. Miss Brent couldn't read the signature from the letter she received "What was the name? The signature was rather difficult to read." page. 8 3. No one knows or has seen the owner of the island. "I haven't even seen my employer yet." page 19 4. We get the idea on page 10 that general Macarthur is hiding something that happened 30 years ago and Armstrong knows about it. "what did he know about it." page 10

__**foreshadowing**__ 1. An example of foreshadowing is when Fred Narracott said "Cant land on Indian island when there is a southeasterly. Sometimes tis cut off for a week or more." page 27. It leads us to believe that they are going to get stuck on Indian Island. //2.// There was a wasp crawling up Vera's arm and in the Indian poem it said. "//Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.//'" 3. Vera took a look out at the sea from her room and all she could think of was drowning. In the indian poem it says. //"Four little indian boys going out to sea: A red herring swallowed one and then there were three."// page 31 4. "He's nearer the day of judgement than I am!" but there, as it happens, he was wrong. This makes the reader think that Mr. Blore is soon to die.

My group and I chose these examples because we thought they described suspense and foreshadowing very well. I think that these examples that I put for foreshadowing are very clear and make the reader more attached to the book.They want to find out what is going to happen next. The author Agathe Christie would not have put these clues in the story this early if there was nothing going to happen with them later on in the story. I chose these passages for suspense because it tells you each time one of the character is doubtful or confused about what is going on in Indian Island.

Joey - I like how you stated that the author put these clues in the story early and that they may reappear. Your job is to figure out which clues are real and which ones are fake!!! The examples your group chose show good understanding of the two terms. Your explanation could include more specific details, but you have the idea. Mrs. M 12-7-11
