Then+There+Were+None

CHAPTER 1, 2, & 3

1. Who is U.N. Owen? What do we learn about him in the novel’s opening pages? That he is a very rich man that has invited all these different people for different reasons. And he is not there at the island himself.

2. Where does the story take place? Describe the primary setting of And Then There Were None with __as much detail as possible.__ The story takes place on Indian Island off the coast of Devon. It is not really a big island. There is one Mansion where all the characters are staying. Takes place around 1935-1940.

3. How and why is Indian Island so important to the narrative (Story)? Indian Island is so important in the story because that is where it takes place. Also no one really knows alot about the island so it is very mysterious.

4. Identify the ten guests who have been invited to Indian Island, giving their __names and backgrounds__ . •Mr. Justice Wargrave, he is a retired “Hanging Judge”. •Vera Claythorne, She seems to be afraid of the ocean or water or swimming. And a person named “Hugo” that she is trying to forget for some reason. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•Captain Philip Lombard, He was an explorer and is always wanting to explore and try new things. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•Emily Brent, Old woman, she is very stubborn about how young people those days would go to a beach half naked and how they have no respect for anyone. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•General Macarthur, Old man now, he was a general in World War 1. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•Dr. Armstrong, He was a doctor. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•Anthony Marston, Pretty young guy, he is very confident and successful. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•Mr. Blore, He leaves his train as Mr. Davis because he doesn’t want anyone to really know who he is. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•Fred Narracott, He was the man that took the people to Indian Island. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, The married couple that are servants on the island that work for the Owens family.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Did any of these individuals – when you first encountered them inthe introductory Cast of Characters, or in the following pages –strike you as especially sinister? (If so, which one and why?) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Threatening? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Blore because he has a list of all the people that are going to the island and he tries to disguise himself and Mr. Davis.Mr. and Mrs. Rogers because they are on the island before anyone else and seem like if they are trying to hide something.General macarthur because he was in World War 1 and being part of something like that could change people in a bad way.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Harmless? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Emily Brent because she is a old lady that no one really thinks can do anything including me.Fred Narracott because he seems really harmless because he is just the guy that take them to the island.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Describe the poem Vera Claythorne finds on display above themantel in her bedroom (in ch 2). What kind of poem is it? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It is a nursery rhyme. It is about 10 Indians and how each one dies.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">7. How are the poem’s meaning and imagery changed by its context inthis novel? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That there are ten Indians and ten people that were invited to Indian Island.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">8. How does the poem relate to the centerpiece of small china figuresthat first appears in the subsequent dinner scene (in Ch.3)? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That in the poem it is about 10 Indian boys dying one by one. And in the dinner scene on the table there are 10 Indian boy figures.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">9. How does this poem relate to the larger plot or structure of thenovel? (You may need to come back to this question after reading the rest of the novel.) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the poem it’s about ten Indian boys dying one by one until there were none. And there are ten people on the island, which makes me think that this novel is going end up like the poem.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">10. In chapter 3, the ten guests are gathered for their after-dinnercoffee when suddenly an “inhuman, penetrating” voice begins tospeak to them, one which has been prerecorded on a phonographrecord.What exactly does “The Voice” accuse each guest of doing? Be specific. //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Edward George Armstrong, that you did upon the 14th day of March, 1925, cause the death of Louisa Mary Clees. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Emily Caroline Brent, that upon the 5th of November, 1931, you were responsible for the death of Beatrice Taylor. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">William Henry Blore, that you brought about the death of James Stephen Landor on October 10th, 1928. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Vera Elizabeth Claythorne, that on the 11th day of August, 1935, you killed Cyril Ogilvie Hamilton. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Philip Lombard, that upon a date in February, 1932, you were guilty of the death of twenty-one men, members of an East African tribe. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">John Gordon Macarthur, that on the 4th of January, 1917, you deliberately sent your wife’s lover, Arthur Richmond, to his death. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Anthony James Marston, that upon the 14th day of November last, you were guilty of the murder of John and Lucy Combes. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Thomas Rogers and Ethel Rogers, that on the 6th of May, 1929, you brought about the death of Jennifer Brady. // //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lawrence John Wargrave, that upon the 10th day of June, 1930, you were guilty of the murder of Edward Seton. //

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CHAPTERS 4 & 5 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">11. Who dies at the end of chapter 4? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Anthony Martson

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">12. Look at the victim’s last words, and then explain the irony or blackcomedy of this particular murder, given these final comments. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“The legal life’s narrowing! I’m all for crime! Here’s to it.” I think that his final words are ironic because he was always breaking the law and someone broke the law by killing him.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">13. In part 5 of chapter 5, we learn the following about GeneralMacarthur: “He knew, suddenly, that he didn’t want to leave thisisland.”Why do you think he knows this? Provide as many reasons as youcan.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that General Macarthur doesn’t want to leave the island because he doesn’t like his life back at home. It gives him a fresh start. Also because maybe he is the killer! So that he could kill everyone and leave the island and not tell anyone what really happened.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What is the general going through? Describe his state of mind –what it is, and what it might be. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The general does not want to leave the island.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CHAPTER 6 & 7

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">14. How does Mrs. Rogers meet her demise in chapter 6? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">She died in her sleep and they think it might be heart failure or murder.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">15. Why does Mr. Blore immediately suspect that Mrs. Rogers was killed by her husband, the butler? Explain Mr. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Blore’s accusation, pointing out its strengths and shortcomings. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr Blore thinks that Mr Rogers killed his wife because both of them reacted frightened when they heard that they killed someone. So Mr Blore thinks that he killed his wife because she might confess to the murder or tell someone.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">16. In part 3 of chapter 7, Mr. Lombard and Dr. Armstrong discuss the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">two deaths that have occurred thus far. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Why do they conclude that both deaths must have been acts of <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">murder? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They think that both of the deaths were murders because that they follow the poem to the letter and that they were not natural deaths and neither seemed like if they wanted to commit suicide.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How does this conclusion relate to the absence of Mr. Owen? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That they think that he is the person that has murdered all the people so far because they know he is on the island and if you say his name it sounds like unknown, also he is probably a crazy psycho killer.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Why do Mr. Lombard and Dr. Armstrong then agree to enlist Mr. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Blore in their search mission? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That he is the only one other than them that they think is capable and they can trust.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What and where do they plan to search? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They are going to look for the killer of the people and they are going to look for him on the Indian Island.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CHAPTER 8 & 9

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">17. Reread the last sentence of chapter 8. Identify the possible as well <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">as the inevitable implications of this last sentence – for the plot of <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">this novel and the fate of its characters. "There was no one on the island but their eight selves." <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The last sentence of chapter 8 tells the reader that one of the 8 people is the killer and Mr. Owen.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">18. What sort of threshold has been crossed, and how is the story <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">different from this point on? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That no one can trust anyone on the island and that means everyone will be more suspicious and be more on their toes when around the others.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">19. After the murdered body of General Macarthur is discovered, the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">seven remaining characters participate in an informal yet serious <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">court session to “establish the facts” of what has transpired since <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">their arrival at Indian Island. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Who is the leader of this parlor-room inquest? Does this <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">appointment seem fitting? Why or why not? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The leader of this parlor-room inquest is Mr. Wargrave. I think this fits because he is a old judge.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How do the other six characters react to this leader’s questions and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">conclusions? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They think that he is being reasonable but they also think that he is being crazy for accusing one of them for the murder.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How do they react to one another’s accusations? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They think that the others are speaking of nonsense.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">20. In your view, who seemed most likely to be guilty at this point in the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">narrative, and who seemed most likely to be innocent? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that Dr. Armstrong is the most likely to be guilty, and Mr. Rogers is the most innocent. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CHAPTER 10 & 11 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">21. In part 4 of chapter 10 we encounter Miss Emily Brent at work on her diary. She seems to be nodding off while sitting at the window and writing in her notebook. “The pencil straggled drunkenly in her fingers,” we read. “In shaking loose capitals she wrote: THE MURDERER’S NAME IS BEATRICE TAYLOR... Her eyes closed. Suddenly, with a start, she awoke.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> What do you make of this passage? What does it mean? Why would Miss Brent jot down such a statement? Think about what you have learned about Miss Brent’s background, mentality, spiritual outlook, and idea of right and wrong when answering these questions. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That Emily Brent thinks that Beatrice Taylor is the killer. Miss Brent’s background is that she is an older woman and she is very religious and is very straight to the book (follows the roles and everything has to be how it’s supposed to be). <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">22. As chapter 11 begins, what is different about the arrangement of the china figure Indians in the dining room? How many are now in the table’s centerpiece – and what does this number tell you? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are only six china figure Indians in the dinning room, which tells us that someone has been murdered. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">23. How has Mr. Rogers been killed? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Rogers was killed by a axe hit him in the back of the head. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">24. At the end of this chapter, everyone is having a hearty breakfast, being “very polite” as they address one another, and “behaving normally” in all other ways. Does this make sense to you? Explain why or why not. What else is going on? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To me this makes sense because they are trying to make the others more comfortable, and if I was the killer that is what I would do. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">25. Read the conclusion of chapter 11 and then comment on the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">thoughts and fears these characters are experiencing. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Most of the people are scared but there are two that are a lot different. Those other two seem like they could be the killer thoughts. And there is another one that says that they are trying to not lose their mind.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CHAPTER 12 & 13

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">26. How is Miss Brent murdered, and why is Dr. Armstrong <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">immediately suspected of committing this crime? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Miss Brent was killed by a hypodermic syringe stabbed into her neck.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">27. What telltale item in the doctor’s possession turns up missing? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The hypodermic syringe that he brought with him and the same one that was used to kill Miss Brent.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">28. What item originally in Mr. Lombard’s possession also <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">disappears? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Lombard got his revolver stolen and has gone missing.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">29. Five people are still alive as chapter 13 begins. In the second <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">paragraph, we read: “And all of them, suddenly, looked less like <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">human beings. They were reverting to more bestial types.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Explain this behavior, and provide several example of it by <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">referring to the text of the novel. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What they mean by they had become more bestial types is that they have become more edgy and are more likely to react with more anger and short tempered. One example is that now in the story whenever they are all talking to each other there is at least one person that starts arguing.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">30. Is this similar to how you yourself would behave if placed in this <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">horrific situation? Explain why or why not. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I was in this situation I would try my best to stay calm even though I would be terrified. But I would probably end up going a little crazy and start acting like the characters are in the story.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">31. Earlier in the narrative, both a ball of gray wool and a red <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">shower curtain suddenly go missing. How and where do these <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">items reappear? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Both of these items show up on Mr. Wargrave’s body after he has been shot in the head. The red shower curtain is wrapped around his body, and the the ball of gray wool was used as a wigg on his head.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">32. At the end of chapter 13, Mr. Lombard exclaims, “How Edward <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Seton would laugh if he were here! God, how he’d laugh!” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Identify the implied, potential, and literal meanings of this <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“outburst [that] shocked and startled the others.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That Edward Seton was the original killer and he didn’t like Mr. Wargrave so he would have laughed. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CHAPTER 14- END

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">33. The narrative of And Then There Were None seems to become <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">more detailed – and carefully descriptive and deliberately paced <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">– as it draws to a close. In chapter 14, for instance, we <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">encounter extended interior monologues involving Miss <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Claythorne and ex-Inspector Blore. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Why do you suppose the author begins to focus on her <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">characters in this way, and at this moment in the tale? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Because the story is close to the end and there are only two characters left alive so it is getting very intense.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What do we learn from the private thoughts of these two <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">characters? <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff00ef; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Neither of them think that each other are the murderers.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How do their ideas and impressions in chapter 14 advance the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">story? <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #fc31fb; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;">That now Vera Claythorne is now crazy and Mr. Blore starts to loosen up and starts to joke around.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">34. What happens to Dr. Armstrong? How and when does he <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">disappear? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Dr. Armstrong was killed by being thrown into the ocean and eventually died. He disappeared in the middle of the night.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">35. How is Mr. Blore murdered, and why do Miss Claythorne and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Lombard suspect that Dr. Armstrong is Mr. Blore’s killer? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Blore was killed by a falling tile had been dropped on his head. Mis Claythorne and Mr. Lombard think that Mr. Armstrong killed him because Dr. Armstrong had disappeared and the two of them were together by the ocean away from the house.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">36. When you reached the point where Miss Claythorne and Mr. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lombard are the only two characters remaining, which one did <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">you think was the murderer? Or did you suspect someone else? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Use quotes from the novel to support your answer. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I actually thought that the murderer was Mr. Lombard because in the last few chapters he was being described with a wolf like smile like a killer would do, also because he had the revolver in his possession until the end.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">37. Who kills Philip Lombard? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Miss Claythorne killed Philip Lombard.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">38. Who, ultimately, is responsible for the death of Vera <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Claythorne? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Vera Claythorne killed herself, but the reason why was because she couldn’t stand with herself because she killed all those people and because of the memory of Hugo.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">EPILOGUE

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">39. Look again at the book’s Epilogue. Who are the detectives in <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">charge of solving these crimes? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Sir Thomas Legge and Inspector Maine.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Are they able to come up with any answers? Evaluate their <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">success, identifying the points on which they are correct and those <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">on which they are incorrect in their reconstruction of the events on <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Indian Island. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They would were way off they probably never find the killer because it was so well planned.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">40. Who is the murderer? How is his or her identity revealed? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The murderer is Mr. Justice Wargrave and his identity is revealed because he wrote everything that happened on indian island onto a piece of paper and put that into a bottle and threw it into the sea and someone found it.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">41. Who is the mysterious Mr. Owen? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Justice Wargrave.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">42. Were you satisfied with the novel’s conclusion? And were you <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">surprised by it? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I really liked how the novel ended because it answers all the questions and it was really satisfying. I was really surprised because at first I didn’t realize who the killer was. But then I figured out it was Mr. Wargrave and I was really surprised by that because I thought he was dead. But when he was describing how he did it all I thought it was very clever and cool how he did it.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">43. Did you, as a reader and an armchair detective, find the ending <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">fully credible and plausible? Did the murderer’s “confession” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">seem fitting and appropriate to you? Explain your answers. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that someone could somehow be able to do that. But how he was able to see all the people in person and know that they had done bad things in their past I think was very implausible.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Define the term “red herring”. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What they mean by the red herring is that someone has disappeared or something has happened to them but it tries to lead you into thinking something else happened to them.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">44. And Then There Were None is generally seen as one of the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">best mystery novels ever published. What are the clues in this <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">mystery? What are the red herrings?

Generally a good response to these questions...some are a little brief and you missed the very last one!
