December 6, 2009 Plot Line: In __And Then There Were None__, the setting takes place in a big mansion on an island called Indian Island, which is surrounded by water. The story takes place in the 1900's. Underline the titles of novels. Mrs. M

Chapter One: Emily Brent, Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, General Macarthur, Mr. Justice Wargrave, Dr. Armstrong, Tony Marston, and Mr. Blore all take trains and cars to get to Indian Island (or trains and cars to get to the coast to catch the boat. They cannot DRIVE to the island. : < ) Mrs. M. Emily Brent, Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, general Macarthur, Justice Wargrave, and Mr. Blore all took the train to Indian Island, while Tony Marston and Dr. Armstrong took a car to Indian Island.

Chapter Two: The members of the party all took taxis to go to where they would then take a boat driven by Fred Narracot. After they got to Indian Island they were greeted by  Mr. and Mrs. Roberts (?), <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> who then showed them all to their rooms, and settled them in.

Chapter Three: Everyone goes into the dining room, or the room where everyone went in to go have a party, when they were in the room they all of a sudden heard a mysterious man speaking out of the record player. They didn't know where it was coming from at first, but then realized it was coming from the record player. The voice on the record player started naming everyone and the year they were responsible for the death of someone.

Chapter Four: In this chapter they all explained how they were responsible for the death of someone, except for Emily Brent who said that she didn't want to share what had happened. Anthony Marston had taken a drink from his glass full of whiskey, and then all of a sudden his face turned purple and he started choking.

Chapter Five: In this chapter they figured that Anthony Marston had either put poison in his own drink to kill himself or someone else must have secretly put something in it. Mrs. Roberts was having some sleeping troubles, and Dr. Armstrong tried everything to make her try and sleep, but she died when she was able to sleep.

Chapter Six: In this chapter everyone goes downstairs for breakfast, and while they are at the breakfast table they all here the news about the death of Mrs. Roberts. Mr. Roberts confronts Dr. Armstrong saying that he has noticed something very strange. He noticed that on the night of Anthony Marston's death there was one missing little Indian boy from the table, so there were nine, and then after his wife died he looked again and then there was another missing little Indian boy so then there were eight.

Chapter Seven: When Vera Claythorne and Emily Brent went to watch for the boat together Emily shared with Vera the information about what the tape had said about her. Emily had said that Beatrice Taylor was in service with her. She said that Beatrice was not a very nice girl. She only realizes this before her death because Beatrice had tricked Emily into being a very well mannered, clean, and willing girl. She only thought this when she heard that she was "troubled." So apparently Emily was kind of hard on Beatrice in some way, and then Beatrice decided to commit suicide for some reason. Another thing that happened in this chapter was that Dr. Armstrong and Philip Lombard also had a conversation exchanging each other’s theories about the situation, and they both made the connection to Mrs. Rogers and Anthony Marston's deaths to the nursery rhyme hanging on the wall in all of there rooms, and both of the deaths happened like the first two little Indian boys that died.

Chapter Eight: Dr. Armstrong, Mr. Blore, and Philip Lombard sort of make a team where they look over all of Indian Island thinking that there is another person within the island who is the murder, but when they have searched the whole island they find that no one else is on the island except for all of the people that came on the boat, and Mr. Rogers. Vera Claythorne finds General McArthur sitting by himself staring at an ocean view in the woods, and McArthur is sort of crazed and is talking non-sense to Vera, except for his thoughts on him thinking that everyone on the island is going to be murdered one by one.

Chapter Nine: Philip Lombard tells everyone that he was lying about receiving a letter to come to the island. Instead a man confronted him by the name of Morris who offered Lombard 100 guineas to go down to the island. Everyone that is left of the party on the island is sitting down at the table for lunch, except for General McArthur. They sent Dr. Armstrong to go look for him by where Vera said she last saw him. After Dr Armstrong had went to look for him he ran back to where everyone was and he said that McArthur had been hit in the back of the neck with a life preserver or something, which had killed him.

Chapter Ten: Philip Lombard and Vera Claythorne are talking about whom they think that is the murderer and Lombard thinks that it's Wargrave because Wargrave has been presiding over courts of law for years, and he thinks that he has played "God Almighty" and it must have gone to his head eventually. Vera thinks that it's Dr. Armstrong because two of the deaths have been poison and she thinks that that's why he is the murderer. Rogers went to let some light in the rooms by moving the curtains, and when he was going to do it noticed that one of the curtain rods is missing.

Chapter Eleven: When Philip Lombard got up he walked downstairs and there wasn't anything on the table ready to be eaten for breakfast and the fire wasn't on. So when the others got up he told them that he thinks Mr. Rogers is missing. So they all went around the island and the house to find him, and then they found him in a little wash house where he had made a decent pile of sticks ready for the fire, and he was laying on the grand with a axe in the back of his back. Since Mrs. or Mr. Rogers was no longer with the party Vera Claythorne and Emily Brent had made breakfast for everyone.

Chapter Twelve: When Emily Brent was working in the kitchen she saw a bee in the window, and then she all of the sudden saw Beatrice Taylor walking, dripping as she was walking; and then Emily heard the footsteps of "Beatrice Taylor" and then she felt the prick. Emily was gone. After the incident Judge Wargrave asked everyone if they had brought hypodermic syringe to the island, and Dr. Armstrong had said that he had brought some with him and that he would show everyone that it was sitting in his medicine bag upstairs. When they all went to his room and looked in his bag for the hypodermic syringe there was nothing in his bag. So then Judge Wargrave suggested that they put all of the medicine and things that people could possibly use to kill someone and put it in a cupboard, and give the keys to Lombard and Blore because they were the strongest men above the group and they both would have trouble fighting for the key if either of them was the killer.

Chapter Thirteen: After a long period of silence in the drawing room with everyone staring at each other and thinking that one of them was the killer Vera couldn't take the silence any longer so she jumped up off of her chair and she asked everyone if they wanted any tea. So then Mr. Justice Wargrave said, "I think my dear, my dear young lady, we would all prefer to come and watch you make it." They all went in the kitchen and watched her make the tea. Later on Vera decided to take a bath and then go to bed. When she was in the bathroom she was looking to find a candle that she was able to light and all the sudden she heard someone walking in the room-she smelled something sort of fishy and sea like. Then all the sudden a wet, clammy hand touched her neck smelling of the sea. As she screamed everyone came running up the stairs seeing what was wrong. They lit a candle and saw that there was a big black hook on the wall, and hanging off of the hook was a piece of seaweed. They all laughed it off and decided to get some water and brandy. When they went downstairs Mr. Justice Wargrave was sitting in the drawing room at the head of the table, wearing his Judge wig and garments with the missing curtain rod to keep him sitting up, and on the top of his head there was a bullet hole.

Chapter Fourteen: Before Lombard goes to bed he wonders where his revolver is now. So he looks in the drawer of the nightstand, and there laying in the drawer was his revolver. Then as Blore was lying in bed he hears a sudden creaking noise of the floor outside of his door, almost like a creaking from someone walking through the hallway. He quietly got up, and puts his ear to the door and he can hear the creaks of someone walking more clearly now. He slipped through his door and into the hallway. As he goes out into the hallway he sees a figure walking down the hallway descending the staircase. He checked all of the rooms, and Armstrong wasn't in his room, so he wakes everyone up and tells Emily Brent and Vera Claythorne to stay in their rooms while he and Lombard go and search for Armstrong. As Vera is in her room she hears the sound of a glass window breaking and then the sound of footsteps. When Lombard and Blore came back to Emily and Vera they said that there was no sign of Armstrong-he just vanished. They all went downstairs and find that there are only three Indians left.

Chapter Fifteen: After breakfast they all went outside to try and get ships to notice that they were stranded on an island by sending signals. Blore wanted to go fetch something, but was afraid to go alone. After a while he finally left and when he was gone Vera and Lombard heard a faint crash back at the house. When they went back they found that Blore was lying on the ground. He appeared to have been crushed by a bear, marble shaped clock that was sitting on Vera's mantle in her room. They figured that Armstrong was in the house somewhere so they decide to go back and wait for help, but on their way back something caught their eye-it was Mr. Armstrong's dead body wedged between some rocks on the cliff.

Chapter Sixteen: After they found his body they were astounded. Vera looked at Lombard and sees a wolf like grin on his face, and realizes that something is wrong so she takes his revolver and pulls the trigger. She shot him straight up in the heart. Afterwards she feels relieved and exhausted. She walks into the house and crushes the two statues of the remaining three. As she walks up to her room she tries to think of the last line of the poem. When she walks into the room she sees the black hook where the seaweed was hanging, suddenly she remembers the last line of the poem, "He went and hanged himself and then there were none." She took a rope and attached it to the hook, put her head through the loop, and without thinking she kicked the chair away.

Epilogue&Manuscript: Three men were talking about how all of these murders occured, but when they kept coming to a conclusion the person they thought that it was had been killed. So it was a mystery to them. A fisherman later then found a message in a bottle from Mr. Justice Wargrave that explained everything that happened. It explained that as a child Wargrave loved to write poems and he just had a want to kill people. He then thought of the poem "The Ten Little Indian Boys" and decided that he would use that as a creative way of killing people. He then gave reason to why he killed everyone on the island. He killed himself after realizing that he was a sick man. Dr. Armstrong helped him by agreeing to help him fake his death by feeling his pulse and saying that there was a gunshot through his forehead. Armstrong then agreed to meet Justice Wargrave outside by the cliff that same night, and there Wargrave had pushed Armstrong off of the cliff and into the water. He then says that after everyone is killed he will make the revolver shoot him and make him land on his bed making it look like he was killed just like all of the others.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Good summaries. Lots of run-on sentences. Remember to put commas after dependent clauses like we've been doing in English class; there are lots of opportunities to use them in your paragraphs. Also, if you click on the box to the right of the 'underline' box on the editor tool bar, you will get a straight line automatically. Try it! Mrs. M

 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Read chapter two.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">On your student page ABOVE assignment #1, choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Write the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">In a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">In chapter two there are examples of suspense and foreshadowing. I chose forshadowing. Four examples for foreshadowing in the book are: "And after-?" page 36 chapter 2 "Queer business when you come to think of it-the whole thing is queer--very queer..." page 26 chapter 2 "Mrs. Owen didnt mention me?" page 29 chapter 2 "Not straight. He'd swear the man wasn't straight." page 37 chapter 2 "And after-?" This shows foreshadowing because Anothony doesn't know what will happen after dinner, and it sort of makes him think about not going to dinner beceause he doesn't know what's going to happen after dinner, or it also sort of seams like he might not make after dinner. It makes you feel like you won't ever here of Annthony again. "Queer business when you come to think of it---the whole thing was queer---very queer." This shows foreshadowing because it makes you think that something is not going right. Fred Narracott said this about everyone that was on the boat because he thought that they were all very rich, and he didn'd think that the Owens were the ones who bought the island; he thought that perhaps Miss Gabrielle Turl was the one who bought the island. His theory had been proven wrong when he examined all of the other passengers who seemed to be not very rich. "Not straight. He'd swear the man wasn't straight." This shows foreshadowing because General Macarthur suspects that something isn't right about the situation he was in and Philip Lombard so he wanted to go back to the mainland. He couldn't go back to the mainland because the ship has already left the island.

<span style="color: #f939f9; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">__ ASSIGNMENT #1 December 3, 2009

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Before reading Chapter 1, consider the following:

 * =<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative? =
 * =<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">how might the title be a clue to the story? =

===<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Assignment: Add a new page. 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. ===

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">I think that the difference between a mystery and a narrative story is that in a mystery there could be more action or more problems to get you thinking then in a narrative. A mystery also is a type of story where you have read the sentences more carefully then a narrative story because in a mystery you have to pay attention for clues and important facts, and I think that a mystery is much more complicated then your regular narrative story. I think that the title might be a clue to the story because maybe since all of the people go to the same island that something happens to all of them where they all are murdered by Mr. Owens, which is the person who invited them all. So I think that this book will turn out to be something like the movie "Clue" except more intense. I think that after everyone gets to the island one by one someone will be murdered by Mr. Owens. I think that Mr. Owens is the one that will kill all of the people that are there, or Mr. and Mrs. Rogers will be the accomplices to helping Mr. Owens murder all of the people.

Good answers. Watch for run-on sentences, correct spellings and usage. Always reread your posts before saving OR edit them once they are posted. You will find some of your own mistakes that way. Mrs. M
