And then there were none by Agatha Christie is a bestselling mystery novel about ten strangers that get lured to an island by a physically unknown person or persons, in this book they arrive at the island but each night one of them is murdered, thus leaving no one in the end, as the title infers. But, there are characters that the author may have felt sympathy for, such as Mrs. Rogers, Captain Lombard, and the judge. Mrs. Rogers seems terrified and shaky, almost as if she knows she is going to die. Captain Lombard is a somewhat cocky yet humble man with low expectations in life. The judge is an angry old man who is very suspicious but he has his perks I suppose. Out of all the characters the readers

1. Discuss the role of the poem “Ten Little Indians” in And Then There Were None. Why does the murderer choose to follow the poem so closely? What effect does this have on the characters

Among the Betrayed by Margaret Peterson was a book full of mysteries. I wanted to read this book because the book blurb grabbed my attention. In the book blurb it vaguely describes the big crazy events in the main characters life. The events are very hectic and I like books that are adventurous and full of exotic situations. This book was definitely the perfect choice for me.

Without adult supervision, individuals do what they please. Similarly, adult supervision keeps people under control. When the boys crash land on the island, they realize that adults do not exist on the island. Before the savagery and turmoil, the boys innocently attempt to create a makeshift civilization. Proving unsuccessful, this attempt only destroys friendships and drives the island into further savagery. Ralph, the elected leader, attempts to keep the “civilization” intact; but, Jack rebels, and turns to savagery; thus, ending the boys only real chance of escaping this perilous island. Jack, Roger, and Ralph prove that without parental supervision the human nature is corrupt.

The crews emotions and feelings about the island constructs expectancy for the reader. According to Connell, ‘“The crew’s nerves seemed a bit jumpy”’ ( Connell, 40). Which indicated that something bad was going to happen. There was also more foreshadowing when Whitney stated that “‘sailors have an extra sense that tells them when they are in danger”’

Imagine the many dangers of being stranded on a desolate island. There is a chance of starvation, severe sunburn or sicknesses, and strange animals. The idea of being a danger to yourself does not usually cross a person's mind when thinking about this unimaginable situation. Being in such horrible conditions would make anyone start to go a little crazy, especially if they were young and immature. The little boys in Lord of The Flies show the true nature in humanity when times become desperate and cut throat. The main topic of this essay is to focus on similarities and differences of how two groups of boys, Piggy & Ralph and Jack & Roger, behave when they become stranded on an island and how they act to survive.

After reading the first few chapters of this novel, I found that the biggest fear that the characters shared was uncertainty if they would ever see their families again, or even survive on the island. Immediately after the boys

When a group of people is stranded on an island, it is very easy to lose hope, even if rescue is very close. People never know when something will happen, especially if no one knows to do it. In the young adult novel, Lord of the flies, William Golding writes the events that happen to a group of kids, with varying personalities, who are stranded on an island, and how their personalities affect the outcomes. A message saying to never give up is effectively shown leading up to the conclusion because the boys are very close to being rescued, but they do not know it, then the conch breaks, which symbolizes the loss of the social structure that has been developed. After that, Jack’s group becomes savage and hunts Ralph, but shortly after that, a naval officer appears.

The author's description of the island allows for me, the reader, to take a short step away from the island with a bunch of children trapped on it and enjoy what seems to be representing a perfect utopia.

Often in literature, the author portrays the nature of humans as either being good or bad. Sometimes, the characters are portrayed as evil and violent creatures and this much is true in both The Shining and in the story And Then There Were None. The dictionary defines violence as a behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. As shown in both stories, some people may become violent after being trapped in an area for a long span of time. I believe that some people can become violent and I hope to prove it throughout this claim about human nature.

The problem in this story is that people keep getting killed unexpectedly. This story takes place in a mansion on Solider Island, which is off the coast of Devon and in the present. In the beginning of the story ten people are invited to a mansion for a few days by U.N. Owen. Fred Narracott takes everyone to the island and says he’ll come back in a few days to take them home but he never does. All their police records were murders that they never went to jail for. This makes the guests a little less trustworthy towards each other. All the guests turn on each other and accuse each other of the murders. The ten people are Mr. Justice Wargrave, Philip Lombard, Miss Brent, Tony Marston, Mr. Blore, Mrs. Rogers, Mr. Rogers, Dr. Armstrong, General Macarthur, and Vera Claythorne. The murders correspond with a poem written by Frank Green. The poem is about ten solider boys who die.

If you love mysteries or murders you will enjoy And Then There Were None . This book is very similar to the movie Clue where you have to figure out who killed who but inside of 3 people dying its eight. This book (And Then There Were None) is about eight people who have been summoned to an indian island off the coast of England. The eight people all have been summoned but for all different reasons. When on the island they are greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Rogers and the butler. The guest are told that their host Mr. Owen with not be their until the next day. After dinner the real mystery starts. They hear a record with what they are being accused of and they have no idea who it is. When they are discussing what to do Tony Marston is chocked by poison.

“The man fell back instantly and lay with blood bubbling from the hole in his forehead. The boy was lying in his lap with no expression on his face at all” (McCarthy, pg. 66). In other words, the boy was so shocked by the situation he was in; this caused him to change his attitude towards strangers. In the same manner The Island has important character development that causes the protagonists to change their behaviours. For instance, when Jordan Two Delta and Lincoln Six Echo escaped and went to Tom Lincoln’s house. In this scene there was an altercation that resulted in the client –Tom Lincoln- dying, which was a great example of how the characters developed. After this scene the protagonist realized how careless and willing they were to hurt others in order to get the clones back to the facility. The scene allowed the protagonist -Lincoln Six Echo- to develop and take extra precautions to maintain safety. Six Echo would always be on his toes; look back every so often, and though through his plans. This leads into the theme that is related to brute force which is that people will do anything to survive.

The book And Then There Were None was written by Agatha Christie in 1939. The
