And+Then+There+Were+None

CHAPTER 1, 2, & 3 1. Who is U.N. Owen? What do we learn about him in the novels? Opening pages? He is the person who has invited the ten people to Indian Island. We learned that he somehow new all the people he had invited and he had invited them for a reason. One thing that all the people had in common was they all caused someone's death 2. Where does the story take place? Describe the primary setting of And Then There Were None with **__as much detail as possible.__** it took place in Indian Island, a fictional island off the English coast and it took place (time) in the 1930s. 3. How and why is Indian Island so important to the narrative (Story)? Because it was a isolated island, so no-one could easily swim away. 4. Identify the ten guests who have been invited to Indian Island, giving their **__names and backgrounds__**. Anthony James Marston: a wealthy, handsome god-like man. A very risky driver. Mrs. Ethel Rogers: A servant, a good cook and a very ghost-like elderly woman. General John Gordon MacArthur: A retired war hero. Mr. Thomas Rogers, the butler and Mrs. Rogers's husband. He and his weak-willed wife, whom he dominated, killed their former elderly employer by withholding her medicine, causing the elderly woman to die from heart failure, to inherit the money she had left them in her will. 5. Did any of these individuals – when you first encountered them in <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">the introductory Cast of Characters, or in the following pages – <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">strike you as especially sinister? (If so, which one and why?)
 * <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">**Emily Caroline Brent**, a rigid, repressed elderly woman of harsh moralistic principles who uses the Bible to justify her inability to show compassion or understanding for others. She dismissed her maid, Beatrice Taylor, as punishment for becoming pregnant out of wedlock. As a result Beatrice, who had also been rejected by her own family, threw herself into a river and drowned. Miss Brent felt no guilt and considered that Beatrice's suicide was an even greater sin.
 * <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">**Justice Lawrence John Wargrave**, a retired judge, well known for liberally handing out the death penalty and "the hanging judge." He is accused of murder due to his summation and jury directions of one accused murderer Edward Seton, although there were some doubts about his guilt at the time of the trial.
 * <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">**Dr. Edward George Armstrong**, a Harley Street surgeon, blamed for the death of Ms. Louisa Clees, a patient, while operating under the influence of alcohol.
 * <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">**William Henry Blore**, a retired police inspector and now a private investigator, is accused of having an innocent man, James Landor, sentenced to lifetime imprisonment as a scapegoat after having been bribed. The man later died in prison.
 * <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">**Philip Lombard**, a soldier of fortune. Literally down to his last square meal, he comes to the island with a loaded revolver. Though he is reputed to be a good man in a tight spot, Lombard is accused of causing the deaths of a native African tribe. It is said that he stole food from the tribe, thus causing their starvation and subsequent death.
 * <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">**Vera Elizabeth Claythorne**, a young teacher, secretary, and ex-governess, who takes mostly secretarial jobs since her last job as a governess ended in the death of her charge. She let young Cyril Hamilton swim out to sea and drown so that his uncle, Hugo Hamilton, could inherit his money and marry her; however, the plan backfired, as Hamilton abandoned her when he suspected what she had done. Of all the "guests" Vera is the one most tormented by latent guilt for her crime.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Lombard, who had no remorse and even laughed over killing 21 men. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Threatening? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Mr. Blore, because he was using a fake name and identity. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Antony Martin, because he growledand said that he addmited he was criminal. Philip Lombard, he stole food from a tribe and hearing that makes me think he would do anything to anyone to survive. Dr. Edward George Armstrong, he was drunk while operating a patient and from a doctor that is the last thing i would expect, and he also told a lie to all the others saying that the patiests always blame the doctor even though they come late. Emily Caroline Brent, because she would believe the bible through every step, even it could be wrong or harm someone. And she has no guilt for the maid she killed.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Harmless? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Emily Brent, because she was a religious old woman <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Mrs. Ethel Rogers, because she is pale and ghostlike and gets scared very easily. Vera Elizabeth Claythorne, because one time she killed someone and feels very guilty, and is haunted by thoughts of it. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">6. Describe the poem Vera Claythorne finds on display above the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">mantel in her bedroom (in chap 2). What kind of poem is it? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">She finds a poem and the poem is on a big square parchment. It is a old nursery rime that she remembered from her childhood days. It describes the deaths of ten indians. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">7. How are the poem’s meaning and imagery changed by its context in this novel? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">They are changed when people start to die the same way that the poem is written. He starts to kill the people in such a way that they all die exactly the same way that the poem is. Each poem is hung on everybody’s wall as if to show that they will also die one of these ways. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">8. How does the poem relate to the centerpiece of small china figures? That first appears in the subsequent dinner scene (in Ch.3)? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It relates because every time someone is going to get killed one of the china figures disappear but no one has seen any of the figures disappear. I assume it must be the murder. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">9. How does this poem relate to the larger plot or structure of the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">novel? (You may need to come back to this question after reading the rest of the novel.) <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">it relates for every time someone is killed a china figure disappears and one person is dead as the list goes down more people die but all the people go in an order, and no one ever died that did somehow not relate to the poem. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">10. In chapter 3, the ten guests are gathered for their after-dinner <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">coffee when suddenly an “inhuman, penetrating” voice begins to <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">speak to them, one which has been pre-recorded on a phonograph <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">record. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">What **exactly** does “The Voice” accuse **each** guest of doing? Be specific. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Suddenly the group hears a disembodied, mechanical-sounding voice, seemingly coming from nowhere. It accuses each of them of murder, naming the victim and the date of each guest’s purported crime. After listing the crimes, it asks if anyone at the bar has something to say in his or her defence. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CHAPTERS 4 & 5 <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">11. Who dies at the end of chapter 4? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Anthony James Marston <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">12. Look at the victim’s last words, and then explain the irony or black <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">comedy of this particular murder, given these final comments.

'I'm all for crime! Here's to it!' The irony is that he was basically admitting to being a criminal, and his death occurred. Almost as though it had been a sentence to his death.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">13. In part 5 of chapter 5, we learn the following about General <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Macarthur: “He knew, suddenly, that he didn’t want to leave this <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">island.” <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Why do you think he knows this? Provide as many reasons as you <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">can. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Because he begins to feel guilt, and disgust at what his life has become. He feels calm and peaceful at the island, unlike the way he feels in his usual life. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">What is the general going through? Describe his state of mind – <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">what it is and what it might be. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">He thinks about his life and previous actions, and begins to feel unsatisfied, disgusted, and ashamed at what his life has become.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CHAPTER 6 & 7 <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">14. How does Mrs. Rogers meet her demise in chapter 6? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">She appears to have died in her sleep. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">15. Why does Mr. Blore immediately suspect that Mrs. Rogers was killed by her husband, the butler? Explain Mr. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Blore’s accusation, pointing out its strengths and shortcomings. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Mr. Blore suspects that Mr. Rogers kills his wife because he believed that they had commited the murder of their former employer, and Mr. Rogers had feared that his wife would give them away. This theory doesn't work, however because it would be quite a coincidence for two people to have died in two days, and it would be hard for a man to kill his own wife. Mr. Rogers seemed scared, and he didn't seem like he could have killed his wife. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">16. In part 3 of chapter 7, Mr. Lombard and Dr. Armstrong discuss the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">two deaths that have occurred thus far. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Why do they conclude that both deaths must have been acts of <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">murder? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Because it doesn't fit that both could've been suicides. It seems that Anthony Marston wouldn't have killed himself, being so young and full of life. Mrs. Rogers could have killed herself, but it would have been too much of a coincidence for them both to have committed suicide in two days. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">How does this conclusion relate to the absence of Mr. Owen? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Since the 10 china figures begin to go missing, it seems as if Mr. Owen must be nearby to move them. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Why do Mr. Lombard and Dr. Armstrong then agree to enlist Mr. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Blore in their search mission? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Because he's a detective. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">What and where do they plan to search? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The whole rocky island.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CHAPTER 8 & 9 <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">17. Reread the last sentence of chapter 8. Identify the possible as well <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">as the inevitable implications of this last sentence – for the plot of <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">this novel and the fate of its characters. "There was no one on the island but their eight selves." <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This sentence implies that someone on the island is the murderer, but theres also the possibility that they missed the murderer in their search. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">18. What sort of threshold has been crossed, and how is the story <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">different from this point on? <span style="line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Everyone goes from thinking that there is a Mr. Owen, to thinking suspiciously about each other. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">19. After the murdered body of General Macarthur is discovered, the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">seven remaining characters participate in an informal yet serious <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">court session to “establish the facts” of what has transpired since <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">their arrival at Indian Island. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Who is the leader of this parlour-room inquest? Does this <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">appointments seem fitting? Why or why not? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The Judge leads this inquest, which is appropriate because he's a judge... but it's also slightly innapropriate because he is a suspect himself and he could use his position to change people's opinions <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">How do the other six characters react to this leader’s questions and <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">conclusions? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">They are shocked! <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">How do they react to one another’s accusations? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">They deny the accusations <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">20. In your view, who seemed most likely to be guilty at this point in the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">narrative, and who seemed most likely to be innocent? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The doctor seemed guilty because he had access to drugs, which could have been the cause of the first two deaths.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CHAPTER 10 & 11 <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">21. In part 4 of chapter 10 we encounter Miss Emily Brent at work on her <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">diary. She seems to be nodding off while sitting at the window and writing <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">in her notebook. “The pencil straggled drunkenly in her fingers,” we read. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">“In shaking loose capitals she wrote: THE MURDERER’S NAME IS <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">BEATRICE TAYLOR... Her eyes closed. Suddenly, with a start, she <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">awoke.” <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">What do you make of this passage? What does it mean? Why would Miss <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Brent jot down such a statement? Think about what you have learned <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">about Miss Brent’s background, mentality, spiritual outlook, and idea of <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">right and wrong when answering these questions. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">22. As chapter 11 begins, what is different about the arrangement <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">of the china figure Indians in the dining room? How many are now <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">in the table’s centerpiece – and what does this number tell you? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">There is one less... which tells us that the missing Mr. Rogers has been killed. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">23. How has Mr. Rogers been killed? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">He was hit in the head with an axe while he was chopping wood. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">24. At the end of this chapter, everyone is having a hearty breakfast, <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">being “very polite” as they address one another, and “behaving <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">normally” in all other ways. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Does this make sense to you? Explain why or why not. What <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">else is going on? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It makes sense because they were all trying not to be the next victim, as well as not trying to loose their heads in a situation where they are all clearly going to be murdured. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">25. Read the conclusion of chapter 11 and then comment on the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">thoughts and fears these characters are experiencing. They are all having afraid and suspicious thoughts, although the 'If there's time...' thought seemed to be the thought of the murdurer himself.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CHAPTER 12 & 13 <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">26. How is Miss Brent murdered, and why is Dr. Armstrong <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">immediately suspected of committing this crime? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Miss Brent had been injected with a saringe, and Dr. Armstrong was the only guest in possession of one. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">27. What telltale item in the doctor’s possession turns up missing? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">saringe. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">28. What item originally in Mr. Lombard’s possession also <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">disappears? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">His revolver, <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">29. Five people are still alive as chapter 13 begins. In the second <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">paragraph, we read: “And all of them, suddenly, looked less like <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">human beings. They were reverting to more bestial types.” <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Explain this behaviour, and provide several example of it by <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">referring to the text of the novel. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">because one of them is the murder and the rest of them are scared of the murder. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">30. Is this similar to how you yourself would behave if placed in this <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">horrific situation? Explain why or why not. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I would personally be terrifyed, because I would either fear being murdered, or being caught. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">31. Earlier in the narrative, both a ball of gray wool and a red <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">shower curtain suddenly go missing. How and where do these <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">items reappear? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">They reapper as the wig and cape upon the dead judge, <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">32. At the end of chapter 13, Mr. Lombard exclaims, “How Edward <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Seton would laugh if he were here! God, how he’d laugh!” <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Identify the implied, potential, and literal meanings of this <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">“outburst [that] shocked and startled the others.” <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Because it seemed as if the Judge finally got the same fate that he had sent Edward Seton to in the court room. It would be rather ridiculous to see the old Judge clothed in a red shower curtain as a cape and grey yarn as a wig, so he would probably laugh in a literal sense as well.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CHAPTER 14- END <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">33. The narrative of And Then There Were None seems to become <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">more detailed – and carefully descriptive and deliberately paced <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">– as it draws to a close. In chapter 14, for instance, we <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">encounter extended interior monologues involving Miss <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Claythorne and ex-Inspector Blore. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Why do you suppose the author begins to focus on her <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">characters in this way, and at this moment in the tale? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It goes into more detail as the possibilities narrow, and it becomes more clear who the murderer is. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">What do we learn from the private thoughts of these two <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">characters? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">We learned that they were suspicious and afraid, hinting to the possibility that Blore and Vera were innocent. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">How do their ideas and impressions in chapter 14 advance the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">story? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">We learned that they were suspicious and afraid, hinting to the possibility that Blore and Vera were innocent.

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">34. What happens to Dr. Armstrong? How and when does he <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">disappear? He dissapears that night, and it appears that he has left through the front door. He is nowhere to be found on the island. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">35. How is Mr. Blore murdered, and why do Miss Claythorne and <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Mr. Lombard suspects that Dr. Armstrong is Mr. Blore’s killer? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Because of Dr. Armstrong's mysterious dissapearance that led them to suspect that he was still on the island, and Lombard and Very had been together when Blore had died. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">36. When you reached the point where Miss Claythorne and Mr. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Lombard is the only two characters remaining, which one did <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">you think was the murderer? Or did you suspect someone else? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I suspected Lombard because Vera's thoughts had been suspicious and afraid. Vera also had an alliby at the time of the Judge's death, she had been in her room with seaweed. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Use quotes from the novel to support your answer. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">37. Who kills Philip Lombard? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Vera Claythorne 'Automatically Vera pressed the trigger...' 'Phillip Lombard was dead- shot through the heart' <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">38. Who, ultimately, is responsible for the death of Vera <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Claythorne? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Whoever had set up the noose, and Vera's own guilt. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">'A rope with a noose all ready? And a chair to stand upon...'

<span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">EPILOGUE <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">39. Look again at the book’s Epilogue. Who are the detectives in <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">charge of solving these crimes? Sir Thomas Legge, Inspector Maine <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Are they able to come up with any answers? Evaluate their <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">success, identifying the points on which they are correct and those <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">on which they are incorrect in their reconstruction of the events on <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Indian Island. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">They were able to deconstruct that the last four people alive were Vera, Lombard, Armstrong and the Judge. They also decided that the murderer was one of the guests. They were not able to find who was actually the murderer though, they couldn't fit all of the clues together. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">40. Who is the murderer? How is his or her identity revealed? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The murderer was the Judge, as was revealed by a letter of confession that he wrote and put in a bottle. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">41. Who is the mysterious Mr. Owen? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">A cover, U.N. Owen unknown was just a name used by Judge Wargrave. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">42. Were you satisfied with the novel’s conclusion? And were you <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">surprised by it? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I was surprised, because I believed that the judge was dead. I was satisfied though, because it was a clever ending. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">43. Did you, as a reader and an armchair detective, find the ending <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">fully credible and plausible? Did the murderer’s “confession” <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">seem fitting and appropriate to you? Explain your answers. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Define the term “red herring”. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The ending seemed to explain all of the questions I had unanswered. The term 'Red Herring' means a misleading clue, that took us down the wrong path to finding the murderer. <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">44. And Then There Were None is generally seen as one of the <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">best mystery novels ever published. What are the clues in this <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">mystery? What are the red herrings? <span style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Red herrings include Lombard's possession of the gun, Wargraves' 'death', Dr. Armstrong's possession of drugs used in the murder's, Dr. Armstrong's disapearance, Blore's suspicious concealing of idenetity.

Clues include included the diaries and records left behind by the guests, the bodies and the manor in which they were killed, the poem, the fingerprints on the gun, Vera's footprints on the chair, and mostly the letter written by Justice Wargrave.
