Solider Island Murders

The diary entry by John Tudor stated that there had been a brutal massacre on King Street in front of the Customhouse by approximately eight soldiers. This murder took place under the command of Captain Thomas Preston. The massacre started by a group of young men that were having a snowball fight, but quickly drew the attention of many, ending in Captain Thomas Preston commanding his soldiers to shoot. The diary stated that Lieutenant Governor Hutchinson was going to do everything he could do to get justice for those killed. Justice Dana and Tudor gave a warrant for Captain Preston to High Sheriff, which ended with the arrest of Captain Preston and the arrest of the eight soldiers. It was no longer safe for the troops to be in the town because everyone hates them, so Lieutenant Governor called for the immediate removal of the troops from the town to Castle William.

Many people in the army feel guilty. They regret all the murders. They see the people they killed everywhere. In their dreams, outside, shadows, they are forever haunted with the faces of the dead. Christopher Lane, a boy with a broken background, is haunted by the killed. After accidentally murdering Mortimer Genever, (vowing to get his revenge) his twin brother Ernest runs away. Showing great determination, hopefulness, and honesty, Chris tracks Ernest down, to apologize for the mistaken murder.

As you followed the plot line of the story the main conflict is person vs person, or the people vs the unknown killer. Each person who was invited to the island received a very different letter, but all of them said to come to Indian island. Indian Island was not some unknown island but in fact, it was just in the news because it was bought by some millionaire. In the story, the people knew what the island was because as Justice Wargrave thought, “Definitely, Indian Island was News”. There was a poem in Vera’s room that was about ten little Indians dying in very different ways. But what she did not know is that the poem was stating the way each person was going to die. In the middle of the novel, everyone who had not died suspected each other and the was a sense of unease in the house. On page 152 Vera and Lombard were talking to each other about who they thought had killed everyone. On page 170 after Mr. Rogers

In the story Tom is also the suspect, throughout the story he was acting funny. Almost like he had something up his sleeve. And for the detective, the detectives would be Hunter, Nick, and Chance. I think this because they were the ones following the clues which led to finding Michael.

Agatha Christie, the author of And Then There Were None, puts her characters on an island off the coast of Devon. These characters are all being summoned to this island from a letter they receive. This letter says for them to come to the island for ten days because of a reason such as, “We need to catch up,” or for business reasons.

My paper is based on the fact that a bomb has been dropped on a city and only ten people have made it into the bomb shelter. While they are in there they discover that there is only enough food for seven of them so three of them will have to go. I am speaking in the character of the armed policemen and I have chosen to take out the Female Vocalist, The Famous Writer, and the Seventy year-old minister.

When inevitable disaster is about to strike, fear will usually end up getting the best of people. In Jenny Goebel’s novel The 39 Clues, there is the imminent threat of a nuclear strike off the coast of the Netherlands, during “King’s Day,” one of the biggest celebrations in the country.

They send three people to deal with the nuclear threat, and three to deal with people who are trying to gather the 39 Clues, which once gathered, would lead to riches and power. But under all of this pressure, the Cahills not only remain brave and focused, but also work as a team and not let anything break them up.

This person is unlike any of the passengers aboard the Stamboul-Calais coach. Hildegarde Schmidt tells Poirot she saw a man in a Wagon Lit Conductor's uniform moving quickly down the hallway that matched Hardman's description. The passengers attempt to create an enemy and a person that entered the train, murdered Ratchett and quickly left. The passengers use the idea of a typical murderer to convince Poirot that the mysterious person kills Ratchett. The twelve murderers use the concealment and the lie to hide their identities and erase any connection to the Armstrong case.

A: Originally when Mr. Wargrave surmised that one of us was the murderer it dawned on me that they wouldn’t have kept the supplies they used to kill the others in the house because they would have been easily found. So I realized that he must have been hidden on the island. I myself was a man of action and I proposed a search of the island. Which yielded nothing whatsoever. Also when Dr. Armstrong appeared to have been missing I decided to go after him during the night. And after he disappeared we didn’t find him until the next morning when we found his mangled body lodged between two rocks on the
