But there, as it happens, he was wrong." Which foreshadows that Blore somehow will be killed in the story. -Kayla Bailey

Fred Narracott replies, 'Can't land on Indian Island when there's a southeasterly. Sometimes 'tis cut off for a week or more.' The old man had predicted bad weather. This foreshadows that the guests will be stuck on the island with the murderer without a means to escape. ]]> 2021-04-23 19:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1453270375 miyaz618 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1453854632 Agatha Christie uses the character descriptions to foreshadow that something bad will happen by showing how the characters are all haunted by their pasts. For example in the book it states "suddenly, in spite of the heat in the carriage she shivered and wished she wasn’t going to the sea. A picture rose clearly before her mind. Cyril’s head, bobbing up and down, swimming to the rock... Up and down - up and down... " (Christie 5). This statement shows how maybe this tramatic incident for Vera will cause larger problems for her, or lead to her death. Also, I agree with Kayla that the quote Agatha Christie uses foreshadows that Blore might be killed in the story because in the staement it shows how Blore's time might be up. - Miya Zheleznyak]]> 2021-04-23 23:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1453854632 kimberlyh333 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1459118375 In chapter 1, Macarthur talks about a rumor that was told about him. " He’d had a fancy lately that fellows were rather lighting shy of him. All owing to that damned rumor! By God, it was pretty hard - nearly thirty years ago now!" (Christie 9). Which could mean that the rumor might still be going around and something bad could happen to him because of it. I also agree with Miya because a lot of characters in chapter 1 are foreshadowing that they are haunted by their pasts. - Kimberly Hazelwood ]]> 2021-04-26 12:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1459118375 carmeng864 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1460024910 I feel like Agatha Christie uses Characterization to make us know more about the chacters and about there pass and she also use foreshadowing just like in chapter 2 when Vera was looking outside window. she started to think about the sea and how big it was and how deep it was. she said  "The sea... So peaceful today - sometimes so cruel... The sea that dragged you down to its depths. Drowned... Found drowned... Drowned at sea... Drowned - drowned - drowned... "(pg 24). To me i think that Agatha Christie is using foreshawdoing here to tell us the reader that, this is how Vera might die or that something happened in her pass.

For example, when Phillip Lombard is being introduced, he says, "You understand I can't undertake anything - illegal?", which shows he must have gotten into trouble with the law before. Also, on the last page of chapter one, when Mr. Blore is speaking with the old man, the old man states, "Watch and pray. The day of judgement is at hand." This gives off an eerie feeling, as if something's going to happen where Mr. Blore is going. /I agree with what Perla says.]]> 2021-04-26 21:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1461800180 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1461845198 Agatha Christie made Vera realize how ominous the island is. "there was no house visible, only the boldly silhouetted rock with its faint resemblance to a giant Indian's head. There was something sinister about it. She shivered faintly." - Aysha Johnson - I agree with Carmen.]]> 2021-04-26 22:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1461845198 rihannam830 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1462263200  when she says the qoute "Ten Little Indians" rhyme that Vera reads when she finds it posted over the fireplace and the scripture Miss Brent reads to herself. which is foreshadowing how all ten guests will meet their deaths. = RiHanna Murphy]]> 2021-04-27 01:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1462263200 arlethg059 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1462664302 starting with Justice Wargrave, then Vera, and so on. What's fascinating in this first chapter is that we're still seeing how all of these people are haunted by their history. Vera's memory flashes back to the scene of Cyril's drowning (chapter 1) Lombard, on the other hand, remembers that "legality has not always been a sine qua non" in his life (chapter 1) Macarthur bemoans the influence of a rumor related to an incident three decades ago (chapter 1) and so on. Some of these characters are somehow haunted. Wargrave, on the other hand, displays no remorse or regret which foreshadows his character later on with the murders. At the end of the chapter the line ""He's nearer the day of judgment than I am!"
But there, as it happens, he was wrong." These foreshadows that bolore might be killed someway. - Arleth Garcia

But there, as it happens, he was wrong." This foreshadows that Blore might be killed in some way in the future. -Lizzy]]> 2021-04-28 01:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/kthni0h1o70ta80s/wish/1467091813
