 And Then There Were None You should call the link above 'AND THEN THERE WERE NONE'. Mrs. M __**Manuscript**__ In the manuscript we read a letter written Justice Lawrence Wargrave. In this letter Wargrave explains that he is the murderer and why and how he committed these murderers. Wargrave had planned this his whole life, and ever since he was a kid he was intrigued by death. Just to make it simply Wargrave killed everyone and he was crazy from birth. The police are investigating the island and they are trying to figure out who had committed all these crimes. The police start debating who Issac Newton was and what he arranged for the island before he died. They just wonder who could have done all these crimes and not have an trail left behind. The police can not find anything on anyone as a suspect, not even Issac. **__Chapter 16__** Vera and Lombard stand over Armstrong’s body. Vera suggests they move the body above the water line,Lombardagrees. When they finished, Lombard realizes something is wrong and turns around to find Vera pointing his revolver at him, she had picked it from his pocket. Lombard lunges at her in a atempt to get the revolver and Vera automactically shots. Lombard falls to the ground, shot start through the heart. Vera heads back to the house to get some sleep before help arrives. She sees the three statues on the table. She breaks two of them and picks the third up, trying to remember the last line of the poem. She thinks it is “He got married and then there were none.” She begins to think of Hugo, the man she loved but lost as a result of Cyril’s drowning. At the top of the stairs she drops the revolver. She feels that Hugo is waiting for her upstairs. When she opens the door of her bedroom, she sees a noose hanging from the black hook. She thinks that Hugo wants her to hang herself, and then she remembers the real last line of the poem: “He went and hanged himself and then there were none.” Whitout thinking about it Vera hangs herself. **__Chapter 15__** The remaining three eat breakfast. The storm is gone, and they feel as though a nightmare has passed. Lombard begins to make plans to signal the mainland. The three discuss the mysterious dissapperance of Dr. Armstrong, and soon after Blore and Lombard get into an arguement. Blore finds it suspicious that Lombard still has his revolver, but Lombard refuses to give it up. Blore then accuses Lombard to be the killer. Vera, Blore, and Lombard spend the morning on the cliffs trying to signal a distress message to the coast using a mirror, but they get no answer. They decide to stay outside to avoid the danger of the house, but eventually Blore wants to fetch something to eat. He is nervous about going alone, but Lombard refuses to lend him the revolver. When Blore is gone, Lombard tries to convince Vera that Blore is probably the killer. Vera says she thinks Armstrong must still be alive. They hear a faint crash from the house and go to investigate. Blore has been crushed by something thrown from Vera’s window: the bear-shaped marble clock that stood on her mantle. Thinking that Armstrong must be inside the house somewhere, the two go to wait for help. On their way to the cliffs, they see something on the beach below. They climb down to look and there find Armstrong’s body. **__Chapter 14__** The remaining four guests eat dinner and head up to bed. Everyone thinks they now knows the killer’s identity, although no one makes an accusation aloud. Entering his room, Lombard notes that his gun is back in its drawer.Vera lies awake, tormented by memories of Cyril’s drowning. Vera notices a hook in the ceiling and realizes that the seaweed must have hung from it. For some reason, the black hook fascinates her. Lying in bed, Blore tries to go over the facts of the case in his head, but his thoughts keep returning to Lombard. He hears a noise outside, slipping out of bed Blore sees a figure walking down the stairs. Blore checks the rooms and Dr. Armstrong is not in his room. Blore wakes Lombard and Vera, the two men tell Vera to stay in her room, while they go and investigate outside. Vera thinks she hears glass breaking and someone making stealthily movments. Blore and Lombard return without finding anyone: the island is empty, and Armstrong seems to have vanished. In the house they find a broken windowpane and only three Indian figurines in the dining room. **__Chapter 13__** The guests sit in the drawing room, feeling uneasy. Armstrong seems vey nervous; he lights cigarette after cigarette with shaky hands. The guests use candles, since Rogers is no longer around to operate the house’s generator. Vera offers to make tea, and the other four go with her to watch her make it. They all agree that only one person will go anywhere at a time, while the other four stay together. Later, Vera gets up to take a shower. She enters her room and suddenly feels as if she were again at the seashore where Cyril, the child she used to take care of, drowned. She smells the salt of the sea, and the wind blows out her candle. She feels something wet and clammy touch her throat, and screams. The men rush to the rescue and find that it was a piece of seaweed hanging from the ceiling that scared her. Lombard suggests it was meant to frighten her to death. Blore fetches a glass of alcohol, and they feud over whether he might have poisoned it. They then notice that Wargrave is not with them. They all hurry downstairs, to find him sitting in a chair, dressed in the red curtain that was missing and a gray judge’s wig made from some wool that Emily had lost. Armstrong inspects Wargrave and says that he has been shot in the head. Wargrave’s body is carried to his room. Again, everyone notices the similarity to the “Ten Little Indians” poem. **__Chapter 12__** After breakfast, Wargrave suggests they convene in half an hour to discuss the situation. Emily feels woozy, so she remains at the table. Armstrong offers to give her a sedative, but she recoils at the idea. As the others go out and clean up in the kitchen, Emily sees a bee buzzing outside of the window and realizes that there is someone behind her. She thinks calmly of bees and how much she likes honey. She thinks the person in the room is Beatrice Taylor, dripping with water from the river. She then feels a prick on her neck. In the drawing room, Blore says he thinks Emily is the killer. Vera tells them the story of Beatrice Taylor. Some seem to agree with Blore’s theory, but Wargrave points out that they have no evidence. They go to the dining room to get Emily and find her dead, her skin turning blue. They notice the bee buzzing outside and remember the rhyme. Armstrong states Emily apparently died of an injection from a hypodermic syringe. Armstrong admits that he has a syringe in his medical bag. The remaining guests go together to search his room, and they find the syringe has vanished. Wargrave suggests they lock away any potential weapons, including Lombard’s gun and Armstrong’s medicine case. Lombard reluctantly agrees, but when they go to his bedroom they find that his revolver is missing. At Wargrave’s prompting, everyone strips,Vera puts on a bathing suit, and is searched for weapons. They store all potentially dangerous drugs in a case that requires a key. The case is placed in a chest that requires a different key. Wargrave gives one key to Lombard and one to Blore. This way the two strong men would have to fight one another if one wanted the other’s key, and neither could break into the case or chest without making loud noises. The group searches for Lombard’s gun but cannot find it. They do find the doctor’s syringe, it was thrown out the dining-room window, along with the sixth Indian figure. __**Chapter 11**__ Lombard sleeps late. Waking, he wonders why Rogers did not come to wake him earlier. He finds the others, except for Emily downstairs, they find no sign of Rogers. Emily comes in wearing a raincoat, saying that she has been walking around the island. Entering the dining room, Vera discovers that another figure is missing. They soon find Rogers’s body in the woodshed, with a hatchet wound in the back of his neck. Vera has a slight breakdown, raving about how the rhyme has been fulfilled—“One chopped himself in halves, and then there were six.” Armstrong slaps her, and she comes to her senses. The group breaks up, while Emily and Vera prepare breakfast, Blore tells Lombard that he thinks Emily is the killer. After Blore admits to Lombard that he testified against an innocent man.Emily remains outwardly calm, but when Vera asks her if she is afraid to die, Emily begins to become nervous. She thinks to herself that she will not die because she has led an upright life. At breakfast, the remaining guests behave very politely, but frantic thoughts flood their minds. __**Chapter 10**__ Vera and Lombard talk in the living room. They agree that they do not suspect one another. Lombard remarks that Vera seems very levelheaded for a woman. He then tells her that he suspects Wargrave; perhaps, Lombard suggests, years of playing God as a judge have driven him mad and made him want to be both judge and executioner. Vera says she suspects Armstrong, because two deaths by poison sounds like a doctor’s handiwork. She suggests that he might have killed Macarthur when he went down to fetch him for lunch. She also points out that since Armstrong is the only member of the group with medical knowledge. Meanwhile Rogers, polishing the silver, asks Blore if he has any suspicions. Blore says he suspects someone, but he will not say whom. Wargrave and Armstrong talk, Wargrave strikes Armstrong as eager to hold on to his life. Armstrong worries that they will all be murdered in their beds. Emily sits in her room, writing in her diary. She begins to feel groggy and writes in a shaky hand that the murderer is Beatrice Taylor. Shecomes to her senses and could not believe that she wrote that. She then thinks that she must be going mad. Later in the afternoon, everyone gathers in the drawing room. Rogers rushes in that room and announces that a bathroom curtain made of scarlet oilsilk has gone missing. No one seems to know why this object would go missing. The guests then eat dinner and shortly afterward retire to their beds, locking their bedroom doors. Everyone except Rogers who stays in the dinning room and cleans up. Before he leaves he locks that dinning room doors so no one can take another indian figure. __**Chapter 9**__ Blore, Lombard, and Armstrong start this chapter argumentative. Blore suggests that Armstrong gave Mrs. Rogers an overdose of sleeping medication either by accident or on purpose. Lombard tells Blore not to be offensive, and Blore turns on Lombard and demands to know why Lombard carries a gun. Lombard explains that he was hired to do a job by Isaac Morris, who implied that he might find trouble of some sort on the island. The bell rings, announcing lunch and everyone heads to the dining room except General Macarthur. Everyone realizes the General missing, Armstrong goes down to the beach to tell Macarthur that lunch is ready. While everyone at lunch starts to eat and converse, they hear someone running outside. Armstrong rushes into the room and Vera states that Genreal Macarthur is dead. A storm starts outside, as Blore and Armstrong walked pass Vera up the stairs Vera turns and head back to the deserted dining room, to find Rogers and only seven indian figures remaining. Once Macarthur had been laid on his bed, everyone assembled in the drawing room. After Armstrong examined the General, he reported to the group that Macarthur had been hit in the back of the head by a life perserver or something close to it. Justice Wargrave then takes charge and states that he had been observing everything and everyone that day so far. He comclude that Mr. Owen is one of the remaining seven guests. The group then analyzes who could have committed the three deaths committed so far. They concluded that anyone could have killed Marston, and only Armstrong, Rogers, or Miss Brent could have killed Mrs. Rogers before everyone went to sleep. After everyone went to sleep anyone could have. Only Blore, Miss Claythorne, Wargrave, Armstrong could have killed Macarthur. Everyone kind of agrees with this and they all go their seperate ways from the drawing room. __**Chapter 8**__ Lombard and Armstrong talk to Blore about what theyhave determined who is committing these series of crimes. Blore is convinced and they three men go on a search through the island to find Mr.Owen. While on their search they find General Macarthur sitting on the beach, staring out into the sea, and telling them that there is little time and that they need to leave him alone, they concluide that hte General has gone mad. So the three men continue their search, and search everywhere but there is nowhere that Mr.Owen could hide. They think that there could be a cave on the side of cliff they come to near that end of their search. Blore goes back to the house to retrieve a rope, to search the side of the cliff. Meanwhile Lombard and Armstorng are talking about how they General could be the killer. Blore returns with they rope and Lombard climbs down the cliff in search of a cave. While Armstrong and Blore hold the the rope, Blore tells Armstrong that he does not trust Lombard, and wonders why Lombard would bring a revolver to a social event. Lombard comes up and says that there is no cave, so all of them head back to the house to search there. During all of this, Vera had gone down to the General and General tells Vera that the end is near and he is ready for it. Vera is conused by this and heads back to the house. During the whole day Justice Wargrave has been observing all the events from the terrace all day and Emily Brent had been knitting. Lombard, Blore, and Armstrong search all the potential hiding places in the house, they then hear noises from upstairs. They go and search to find that it was only Rogers, clearing his stuff out to move into the empty bedroom, where Anothony Marston once occupied. Concluding their search, Armstrong, Blore, and Lombard state that the eight of them are the only ones on the island. **__Chapter 7__** In chapter seven all the geusts are confused and troubled by the recent murders. Emily and Vera take a walk and Emily tells Vera that story about Beatrice Taylor, the woman Emily was accused of killing. Beatrice was a maid for Emily and when Beatrice became pregnant Emily threw here out of the house. Beatrice had no one else so she drowned herself. Emily did feel any remorse but Vera was horrified by the story. Meanwhile Lombard and Armstrong converse about the possibility that Rogers did kill his wife and how the two Rogers did murder that old lady, who they used to work for, for her money she left them. In the end they decide that the deaths were committed by their mysterious host Mr. Owen, and that he is hiding somewhere one the island. **__Chapter 6__** The motorboat still has not come and isn't coming. There are only eight china figures left and all the deaths so far go along with the indian poem in all the bedrooms. Finally the guests are starting to catch onto the pattern with the figures and the poem. Some of the men have decided to take matters into their own hands and try to find out who is doing this, and who Mr.Owen is. **__Chapter 5__** Dr. Armstrong states that Anthony Marston's death was my potassium cyniade. And only Anthony himself could have put the poisin in his drink. All the guests are disturbed by this event, but they all go up to their rooms, lock the doors, and kind of go to sleep. In the morning they all go out to look for the motorboat to take them off the island, but it never comes. They all go to breakfast and Mr. Rogers tells Dr. Armstrong that his wife will not wake up, so Armstrong takes a look and she is dead. Later after breakfast Armstrong tells the rest of the guests about Mrs. Rogers death. Some of them accuse Mr. Rogers of killing his wife because they committed the crime the voice accused them of. Other believe that Mrs. Rogers killed herself because they did commit the crime the voice accused them of. Either way everyone agrees that the Rogers did kill that old lady they worked for, just to get her money. **__Chapter 4__** They are still in shock about the accusing voice, and they all are trying to figure out who Mr.Owen is. Meanwhile they find out where the voice came from, a separate room with a recorder against the wall. After they figure out the voice, the guests are still debating who their host and hostess are. The guests are still conversing the subject, while Tony is starting to pour drinks for everyone. Anthony takes a swig of his drink and chokes to death. **__Chapter 3__** After dinner all the guests go into the drawing room and are having conversations. When a mysterious voice starts announcing all these crimes that all the guests and including Mrs. and Mr. Rogers were accused of. Everyone is in complete horror and Mrs. Rogers faints. The guests then starting confessing why they were accused of what the voice said they were and why they are innocent. Everyone except Miss Emily Brent confesses. ** __Chapter 2__ ** The two taxis drive them over to the docks, where a motorboat is waiting to take the guests to the island, captained by Fred Narccott. Once everyone is on the island and the boat has left, we meet Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. These two people are servants for the house and the wife always looks scared. None of the characters so far have met Mr. or Mrs. Owen who invited them all there and said that friends would come or hired one of the guests, Miss Vera Claythorne. The guests just eat dinner and they find that there is a ten little indian poem in each of their bedrooms and there is twn little indian figures in the middle of the dining room table. **__Chapter 1__** Setting- Time: 1900s Place: On two different trains and outside the train station Events- Miss Very Claythorne, Dr. Armstrong, Justice Wargrave, Mr. Blore (Mr. Davis), Miss Emily Brent, and Mr. Lombard, are all on a train, two different trains though, to meet someone they know or have been hired by at Indian Island. Anthony Marston and General Macarther on the other hand are driving to the docks to meet up with the others and they have been invited by old friends of theirs. They arrive and they find two taxis for them in front of the train station.

__**Chapter Three 12 - 4 - 09**__ Write two sentences telling what you know about him or her.** BOLD **the character's name and write your sentences about that character right underneath his or her name.** Vera is a woman who was a teacher at a third class school before she came to Indian Island. We also know that she was not watching one of the children, while she taking care of a group of children, and the child swam out to far wherever they were and drowned. He was a doctor that became drunk sometimes and was caught and has his license suspended. We also know that one time he operated when he was drunk and that woman on the table died because Armstrong was drunk. We know that he is a retired judge, and that he is fairly old. We also know that he had once had Dr, Armstrong case brought before him, so those two have met before. We know that he is using a fake name, Mr. Davis and that he is from South Africa. Another trait of Blore is that his real name is William Henry Blore and is a detective that has been called to the island to watch the other relatives. A he is a retired war general that was brought to the island because he was told some of his old war pals would be coming too. We also know that he left some natives in a jungle to die, while he men took all that food and water and were rescued. Great job! Lots of detail! Check Mr. Blore - is it South America? Mrs. M

__**Chapter Two 12 - 3 - 09**__ **Find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two. Write the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written. In a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.** __Foreshadowing__ 1. One example of foreshadowing is quote, " The sea... So peaceful to-day- sometimes so cruel...The sea that dragged you down to its depths. Drowned...Found drowned...Drowned at sea... Drowned-drowned-drowned... No, she wouldn't remember... She would //not// think if it! All that was over..." unquote. 2. The second example of foreshadowing is quote," Of course-old Wargrave. He'd given evidence once before him. Always looked half asleep, but was shrewd as could be when it came to a point of law. Had great power with a jury- it was said he could make their minds up for then any day of the week. He'd got one or two unlikely convictions out of them." unquote. 3. A third example of foreshadowing is quote," Very few thoughts passed through his head. Anthony was creature of sensation- and of action." unquote. 4. A fourth and final example of foreshadowing is quote," He was smiling to himself. A week- eh? He was going to enjoy that week." unquote.

The first foreshadowing is thought by Miss Vera Claythorne, this might be foreshadowing a person she once loved either as a family member or a boyfriend/ fiance/ husband, that was found drowned. This might lead to an event that reoccurs this event she is sort of remembering. It could also mean that she knew what happened to this drowned victim or maybe she even drowned him or her. The second foreshadowing is of Dr. Armstrong, this foreshadowing is telling us that Armstrong and Justice Wargrave have met before in court. I do not know for what reason though exactly, I suspect that he was accused of murder but found innocent and Wargrave was the judge on Armstrong's case. This might lead to disagreement later on between Armstrong and Wargrave. The event might be something like Wargrave still thinks that Armstrong is guilty of the crime that he was accused of and they have trust issues later on. The third example is of Anthony Marston and it might be telling us that in a time of emergency Marston takes act in an emergency without thinking, which might lead to a stupid choices and put others in even more danger. The fourth example is of Philip Lombard and it might be telling us that he knows something exciting that is to take place in this week on the island. Wether these events are sinister or funny or whatever, Lombard knows something the rest of the guests may not know.

Nice work, Sydneye. Mrs. M

How does a mystery novel differ from a narrative? ** The difference between a narrative and mystery novel is that a narrative is told in first person through out the whole entire novel. While a mystery is told in third person through out the whole novel. I think that this book is will be about a group of strangers that are grouped together somewhere, and in the group there is one person who starting murdering the other people in the group. At the end of the novel we will find out who committed these series of crimes, whether they disappear or are taken to jail after everyone figures it out, we will find out who did it.
