I am very impressed with the technology being used for this class. Charlie is learning a great deal from it. I enjoyed sharing this assignment with Charlie and found it quite interesting. Julie

= __Group Assessment #1__ =

__Suspense__- a state or condition of mental uncertainty or excitement, usually awaiting an outcome or decision. __Foreshadowing__- to show or indicate beforehand

__ Four examples of foreshadowing __ 1. "There's a squall coming." ~p. 15 2. "Watch and pray," he said. "Watch and pray. The day of judgement is at hand." ~p. 15 3. When Vera asks, " The Owen's are frightfully keen on it, I suppose. What are they like? Do tell me." Lombard avoids the question by pretending that there is a wasp on Vera's arm. ~p. 20 4. "A week-- eh? He was going to enjoy that week." ~p. 37 __ Four examples of suspense __ 1. "This Mr. Owen must be a different sort of gentleman. Funny it was, thought Fred that he'd never set eyes on Owen-- or his Missus either." ~p. 25 2. "Queer business when you came to think of it-- the whole thing was queer-- very queer...." ~p. 26 3. "Mrs. Rodgers turned to go. Her feet moved noiselessly over the ground. She drifted from the room like a shadow." ~p. 30 4. "She pictured it differently, close to the shore, crowned with a beautiful white house. But there was no house visible, only a boldly silhouetted rock with its faint resemblance to a giant Indian's head." ~p. 22 __ Why I chose these examples __ I chose these passages because they describe foreshadowing and suspenseful very clear. i chose these examples of foreshadowing because it gives the reader something to look forward to later in the book. Also, It gives you a little clue to what is to come later in the book. I chose these examples of suspense because I think they show good suspense. They make you want to keep reading to find out what happens next. The examples I chose are only eight of many examples of foreshadowing and suspense in this book.

Charlie- Some good ideas....your explanation paragraph is a bit weak. Always reread your writing before posting. Mrs. M 12-9-11
