Character+Sketch+SSC

Agatha Christie, a best selling author, has written another story that will make you think of the impossible. The story //And Then There Were None// keeps the mystery going. One of the main problems was of Mr. and Mrs. Owen. Everyone on Indian Island was brought there by these mysterious people. Now everyone on the Island is trying to figure out the mystery of who these or this person is. Now it is my turn to try to find the answer.

Many people on the island are trying to find the true identity of this couple. But what if this couple was on the island under an alias or if it as really one person. This is what I think;I think Mr. Lawrence Wargrave is Mr.Owen. In the book, on page 44, Justice Wargrave starts taking a leadership role on the island. This follows the Voice stating all the accused of murder on the island. Once the voice is finished, Justice Wargrave made sure everyone was under control and told people to take care of Mrs.Rodgers (who had fainted after the gramophone). After the Voice, Mr. Wargrave took a leadership role to see how everyone got invited to come to the island. As this conversation started, it became known that "U.N. Owen" is "UN known". When this came to be, the people on the island became worried about their surroundings. I think Wargrave is very sketchy and creepy.

I think Mrs.Owen is Fred Narracott. Even though you may think Mrs.Owen might be a women, I believe it is a man. Fred Narracott is the boat driver that rides from the mainland and back. I think he is the partner because on page 27 he says " Can't land on Indian Island when there's a southeasterly." This means he cannot drive the boat to the island in bad weather. When he said this, it made me think he would only return when Wargrave killed everyone off. I believe he is not and will not be on the island until the very end of the book when Justice Wargrave calls him. These two also communicated when first going to the island.

I think Wargrave and Narracott have met everyone on the island at some point. I think they found these people and their situations and decided to put them all together. On page 57, in the book it reads "Whoever enticed us here; that person knows or has taken the trouble to find a good deal about us." I think Wargrave used his connections as a judge to find personal information on these murders. Together as a team, I think Narracott and Wargrave could collect a lot of information on the people on the island. Because Wargrave is a judge, it makes me even more sure he is one of the murders. Narracott and Wargrave would make a good team to kill.

The ultimate goal of Mr.Owen and Mrs.Owen is to get everyone on the island. The only evidence we have for this is on pages 3&8. This shows some of the letters sent from Mr. and Mrs.Owen's. In my opinion, I believe one of the goals is to kill and get justice for everyone who was murdered by these people brought to the island. I think they will reach there goal and more. I think Justice Wargrave and Fred Narracott will end up achieving any goal of theirs as long as they stick together.

The story //And Then There Were None// is filled with the mystery of who Mr. and Mrs.Owen. I believe, together, Justice Lawrence Wargrave and Fred Narracott are able to complete the mission of getting these people on Indian Island. As the story continues, I will be able to tell if my plan is right of who the Owen's are. I believe I have solved the mystery of who the true killer is.

Personal Reflection Questions
1) If I were on Indian Island, I would try to protect myself the best I could. At nighttime, I would steal a knife from the kitchen and hide it under my pillow. That way, if the killer were to have broken into my room, I could stab them and run away. After Mrs. Rodger’s was killed, I would make sure that everything I eat and drink was poured by myself so no poison or other harmful substances are put in my body. Two people on the island have died of substances put in their bodies. If I were on the island with the killer, I would practice self-defense in my bedroom. If I were on the island I would do everything I can do to survive.

2) This novel And Then There Were None, in my opinion, is the best mystery novel I have ever read. This book is hard for me to understand at some points because it was written in the 1930's. ATTWN has many twists and surprises. I am most surprised when Mr. Rodger's was killed. I believe he is an important character that should be kept in the story until the very end. I would also kill Mr.Blore earlier. I believe Mr.Blore is a waste of space on the island; I would like him to die sooner than later. I would also take away all weapons that the island has. This means Lombard's gun and all the kitchen knives, even though I would use those to survive if I were there. The novel And Then There Were None is a great novel that interests me and others about how murder mystery works.

3) I think Miss Brent will be the next to die on the island. I am making a prediction that Miss Brent will die because everyone thought she killed the others. This book is full of red herrings. And, I think they are making it as if Miss Brent is the killer, but really she will be killed next. Emily Brent controlled Vera Claythorne when she reacted to the death of Mr. Rodger’s. I think she will die of the bee stings that Vera was talking about. This is why I think Miss Emily Brent will die next.
