Suspense: 1.feeling excited about what may happen Foreshadowing: an indication of a future event

2. Four examples of for suspense: "...a cocktail–dinner. And after?" p. 36 "Her feet moved noiselessly over the ground. She drifted from the room like a shadow" p.30 The conversation with the old man especially "He's nearer the day of judgment than I am! But there, as it hapens, he was wrong. "A little shover passed down Vera's back. What on earth was the woman afraid of?" p. 29

3. Four examples of foreshadowing "Just possible he might have something to do with the pictures" p. 26 "Queer business when you came to think of it–the whole thing was queer–very queer...." p. 26 The poem on page 31 "Can't land on Indian Island when there's a southeasterly. Sometimes 'tis cut off for a week or more." p. 27

We chose these examples because they help show the meaning of our definitions. An example is "...a cocktail–dinner. And after?" This phrase makes me interested and excited about what will happen after dinner. It builds up thoughts of exciting things that could happen. My favorite example we used and the one that I think demonstrates the definition of suspense the best is the conversation with the old man especially "He's nearer the day of judgment than I am! But there, as it hapens, he was wrong." This makes you wonder how he was wrong and what is going to happen to him. A cliff-hanger like this really helps to build up excitement. "Queer business when you came to think of it–the whole thing was queer–very queer...." This is a good example of foreshadowing in my mind. It says that this story will have odd things happening in it and to the people involved. Also, "Can't land on Indian Island when there's a southeasterly. Sometimes 'tis cut off for a week or more." This statement made me think that at some point in the book, the island would be cut off so that no one could get off of it. I think the examples we chose helped to show our definition of suspense and foreshadowing. The other examples we choose helped to show the meaning of these two words.

Thomas - I would completely agree with your reasoning for making the choices you made. Check spelling errors. If the word is underlined in red, chances are it's spelled incorrectly. Mrs. M 12-7-1 2
