Answers: Miss Emily Brent is 65 years old and is a nonsmoker. She is an old fashoined kind of person and doesn't like parties. Miss Brent is responsible for the death of Beatrice Taylor. Dr. Armstrong is a clever young man, but gets drunk quite a bit. He was responsible for the death of Louise Mary Clees while doing an operation on her after he had been drunk.

__ Assignment #2 Due October 22 __


 * Put a line above Assignment #1; assignment #2 will go above assignment #1.
 * Read chapter two.
 * Choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
 * With your small group, find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
 * Each member of your group must write on his or her WIKI page the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written.
 * Then, in a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.
 * Read chapter three for Monday, October 25.

__Answer:__ Foreshadowing__ 1. **Page 24:** It was a fantastic moment. In it, Anthony Martson seemed to be something more than mortal, Afterwards, more than one of those present remembered that moment.

2. **Page 31:** //Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;// //One chocked his little self and then there were nine.//

3. **Page 33:** There was something magical about an island- the mere word suggested fantasy. You lost touch with the world-an island was a world of its own. A world, perhaps, from which you might never return.

4. **Page 27:** Philip Lombard said sharply: "Must be difficult to land here in dirty weather." Fred Narracott said cheerfully: "Can't land on Indian Island when there's a southeasterly. Sometimes 'tis cut off for a week or more."

These excerpts from this book are of examples of foreshadowing because they imply that something mysterious will happen in the future. On what we found on pages 24,we can either infer that Anthony Martson did something horrible or that would lead to something mysterious. In the poem on page 31, it describes that the "ten little Indians" are getting ready to dine, and it all ends up to be that they all die. I think that something will happen, or someone will die, at the dinner they are about to have. Also, on page 27 and 33, Phillip says that the weather at Indian Island is dirty, which would probably mean the weather is bad there, and later in the chapter it explains that an island has its own world, and in that world, you might never return... I have a feeling that something will for sure happen very soon...

Good choices from your group work. Mrs. M

 * how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative?
 * how might the title be a clue to the story?

A mystery novel is a book that doesn't have a narrative. There isn't a person telling the story, its just explaining the story. The mystery novel differ from a narrative because a narrative tells the story, and know one is telling the story.

The title would be a clue to the story because it i think that by the end of the story they will eventually figure out that there probably wasn't a murder. Also, before the name was "Three Little Indians," and the island name is called "Indian Island".

Good job! Make sure your links are done correctly or that you have all of them. Ask for help if you're not sure.

===Assignment: Add a new page and name it LAST NAME + AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. Create a link from your page to the student pages. On your new page, answer the two questions above in one solid paragraph. In the second paragraph, make one prediction - something that you think might happen or something that you might expect about a character in the story.===
