**//And Then There Were None//** **Character Sketch**
 * At the end of Chapter 5 of //And Then There Were None// we still do not know a lot about Mr. or Mrs. Owen. For this assignment, you will write an essay expressing your thoughts about the Owens using citations from the book to support your answer.**


 * Before writing think about and answer the questions below. Be sure to list page number to use as your citations.**

I think Mrs. and Mr. Owen are not actual people. They are being made up as fake identities so someone can maybe get revenge on the ten guests. As Justice Wargrave discovered, the initials sound like “unknown” (p.39). This is stated here, “Or by a slight stretch of fancy, UNKNOWN.” In my opinion, this is enough evidence to say that there is no Mrs. and Mr. Owen.
 * 1) **Who is Mr. or Mrs. Owen?**

Because I think there is no Mr. Owen, they are not on the island. However, the clever person playing Mr. Owen could be on the island. It could be Mr. Blore because he works for a detective agency and at first, tried to hide his identity (p.39).
 * 1) **Is Mr. or Mrs. Owen someone on the island or someone else?**

He has to because he sent letters to all the guests, addressing them like friends. He didn’t sign all of them from him. Some said they were from people the guests have known (p.8). Justice Wargrave’s said, “and his correspondent signed herself with a flourish his ever Constance Culmington.” Another example is that they all have something in common, they were accused of murder (p.31-32). That can’t be a coincidence.
 * 1) **Does he or she know all the people who were invited to Indian Island? How?**

The ultimate goal of the Owens is to punish their guests for their crimes. This is evident because once they are all gathered in a room, a record plays and exclaims all their murders. It says. The //Ten Little Indians// poem keeps popping up throughout the story (p.25-26). Based on Anthony Marston’s death, I think everyone is going to die based on the poem.
 * 1) **What is the ultimate goal of Mr. or Mrs. Owen? Why?**
