The poem i important because it's like the main point of the book and it was the way everyone was going to die.
Vera first said something about it on page 44 and she was saying how it was above her be and everyone said it was all over there beds and they started going through it together. They thought it was cute because it was going towards the theme of the name of the island since its soldier island so they thought it was cute with the 10 little soldier boys poem and the soldier figurines in the middle of the dining room table.
Then at the end of the book Vera also said that it was like how everyone was dying and she was saying someone was killing everyone in the order of the poem but somethings on the poem they were confused how it was going to happen because it wasn't possible to happen on a island with nothing on it. She was comparing how everyone that died to the poem and she was also saying how everyone was like a zoo and she was calling everyone these different animals.
This shows that the poem is important to the book and how if it wasn't in the book then the book would be different then it already is.

Mr.Blore came acros a old man. Blore looked at this old man and thouht he was crazy. ¨theres a squall coming. Mr.Blore said no,no, mate its a lovley day¨(christie page 16)

This symbolize the danger and death coming Mr.Blores way. Mr.Blore thinks this old man was crazy but will soon realize this means his death is coming his way.

¨im talking to you, young man the day of judgment is very close to hand.¨(christie page 17)
¨watch and pray¨ (christie page 16)

Mr.Blore will soon realize what this old man meant by saying a storm is coming. Mr.Blores death is coming his way not a storm.

Therefore the storm symbolizez death coming Mr.Blores way.

the soldier figurines are one of the most important symbols in the book. each one of the figurines represents one of their lives. each time that one of the 10 of them died a soldier figurine would break representing the people on the island. and when the last one breaks there are no people left.

"that's a rum go! i could have sworn there where ten of them."

this shows that after the first death everyone started noticing what the soldiers represented.

In the story And Then There Were None, the soldier figurines represent themselves and how they will die. None of the guests suspected that the soldier figurines were that horrifying so they ignored it.

"Soldiers. Said Tony. Soldier Island. I suppose that's the idea."(44).  This shows us that all the guests were completely oblivious of what was about to happen.

Mr. rogers was the first to suspect that something was off with the soldier figurines.

"Downstairs in the dining room, Rogers stood puzzled. He was staring at the china figures in the center of the table. He muttered to himself: That's a rum go! I could have sworn there were ten of them."(81). This shows us that none of them knew what the background was about these soldier figurines.

The china figures played a big role in the book. When they all first arrived at the island they thought nothing of the figures. They first started realizing what they stood for when Roger's noticed that some of them were missing, "he muttered to himself: that's a rum go! i could've sworn there were ten of them.

The soldier fingers represent themselves but dying in much more gruesome ways this. It represents a foreshadow as none of them see this coming. It symbolizes them and how the story will go and in the overall way they will die. Like choking,poisoned,crushed while leaving out how this comes.

In AATWN the solider china figures had a big role. when everone first got to the island they saw them just like the poem but thought they were just decoration or just soldiers like the island soldier island itself. but as they did not know is when a person dies the figure falls and breaks and they go down till there is none. "Soldiers, said tony. soldier island. i suppose thats the idea." pg 44.

The Poem at first was some childish joke that was hung up in everyones rooms. No one thought anything of it. The people in the house even laughed at it. ¨remarkably cildish¨(christie page 44)
This poem symbolize death the death of all this people on that island. The people on the island have not yet realized what it mean but they soon will.

The guest on the island slowly start seeing people dying day by day. They start to notice were and how everyone is dying . The guest start to realize everyones deaths go with the poem. They start to realize that the poem is not some joke. This poem is telling how they are going to die they just dont know when. ¨ten little soilder boys going out to dine; One went and chocked himself then there were nine. Then two men looked a eachother¨  (Christie page 117)

This is when the two men realized this poem means something. All the people that are dead died the same way the poem perdicted. This poem was no accident this poem sybolizes everyones death.

Therefore, the poem sybolizes death and how the guest death is going to take place.

the storm is a very important symbol in the book. I think that the storm represents how bad there weekend trip is going to end up. the storm brought together the whole story of them dying on an island and it kinda of gave them a clue that everything will start to go in the wrong way.
"i do not, of course, profess to be a weather prophet. but  i should say that it is very unlikely that a boat could reach is even if it knew our plight"
this quote shows how the characters are starting to figure out how the weather is representing their stay at soldier island is going to end.

When they first came to the island they all thought it was cute and nice because they thought it was going with the theme of the island name but they really didn't know what it stood for.

When Rogers was standing it the dining room  he noticed something off about the soldier figurines. "Downstairs in the dining room, Rogers stood puzzled. He was staring at the china figures in the center of the table. He muttered to himself: That's a rum go! I could have sworn there were ten of them".   Rogers saw that a soldier figurine was missing and he was telling himself that there were ten there the last time he saw them. (81)
Rogers is still freaking out about the soldier figures so he calls Dr. Armstrong into the dining room and he telling him about how there aren't ten soldier figures anymore and that there are only eight of them left. " There's things going on, sir, You'll say it isn't anything. But it's got to be explained, sir. It's going to be explained. Because it doesn't make any sense. Well, man, tell me what it is. Don't go on talking in riddles. Rogers swallowed again. He said: It's those little figures, sir. In the middle of the table. The little china figures. Ten of them,  there were. I'll swear to that, ten of them. Armstrong said: Yes, ten. We counted them last night at dinner. Rogers came nearer.' After that he went on to say that when he was cleaning last night there were nine and now there are eight of them.

At the end of this everyone realize that the figures represent the people staying on the island because every single someone died there was one less figure.

At first the meals are long and luxurious: "The food had been good, the wine perfect. Rogers waited well" (42).

The meals continue to represent normality, even after several deaths. "They went into breakfast. There was a vast dish of eggs and bacon on the sideboard and tea and coffee." Rogers did this after his wife died!

After Rogers' death: EB and VC cook for everyone, almost immediately after finding the body. Pg. 195- character thoughts. "Six people behaving normally at breakfast" (195).

As the meals break down, so do the guests and the order in the house. "The midday meal had been duly eaten- but there had been no conventional formality about it...They had opened a tin of tongue and two tins of fruit. The had eaten standing around the kitchen table" (213). ***Abnormal thoughts about EACH OTHER as they're eating.

At the end: "If I even see a tinned tongue, I shall be sick! I don't want any food. People go days on end with nothing..." " I'm not going back to the house. I'm going to stay here- in the open" (250).
