**__Four examples of suspence:__**
**1.** **When Dr. Armstrong said he must pay his respects to my host and hostess, and he figures out there aren't any that created suspense in the book because it makes you wonder where are the host and hostess? "No host or hostess. Very curious state of affairs. Don't understand this place." (pg.34)** **2** . **They came up over a steep hill and down a zig-zag track to Sticklehaven-a mere cluster of cottages with a fishing boat or ttwo drawn up on the beach. (pg.22)** **4.** **The boat churned its way around the rock. Now at last the house came into view. (pg.26)**
 * 3. "It is really lovely here. The hills are the red earth and everything so green and luscious looking." said Vera. (pg. 21)**

__Four examples of foreshadowing:__
**1.** **The nursery rhyme:**


 * // "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 traveling 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 frizzled up and then there was one. //**

**//He went and hanged himself and then there were none"// (pg. 31) **
 * // One little Indian boy left all alone; //**

**2. Mrs. Rogers had a ghostly like figure. "What a white bloodless ghost of a woman," said Vera. (pg. 29) ** 3. **Anthony Marston was in his bath with streaming water- tired limbs- presently a shave- a cocktail- presently a shave- dinner- and after ? (pg.36)** **4.** **When Philip Lombard was going down to eat dinner he stopped at the top of of stairs and said "A week -eh." He was going to enjoy that week. (pg.37)**

__ ** In a well-written paragraph, explain why your group chose these examples based on the definitions of suspense and foreshadowing. ** __

 * We chose these examples because they provide ample information about the definitions of suspense and foreshadowing. The definition of suspense is awaiting a decision or outcome, which is exactly what my examples showed. One example of suspense is when the guests figured out the host and hostess were there. It created suspense because it made you wonder where they could be. The definition of foreshadowing is to show or indicate beforehand which is also what my examples showed. One example of that is when Vera found the "Ten Little Indian" poem on the wall in the bedroom she is staying in. It showed the entire poem in the book because I think that is what is going to happen to the guests. That is why I chose these examples of suspense and foreshadowing because they really explain the definitions. **
