Journal entry #1 chapters 1-4 I selected this book I was made to. My teacher said it was a good book and so we were made to read it. Before reading the book it would be good to know about the background of this book, for example how it used to be named, //Ten Little Indians.// Then they changed it because it was offensive. Before the novel began we read about how they all got letters of invitation to come to the island, they all came for different reasons. We learned a little bit about their lives and how they feel about other people on the train. As the story begins, they are all on a train heading to the boat that will take them to Indian Island. The setting of the novel is in England, off the coast of Devon. I think that this is a good setting for the story because there is so much English grammar and English reference in the story. The problems faced by the main characters are that they are all confused, and being accused of murders of various people. The author keeps me interested by keeping it suspenseful and putting the story in 3rd person omniscient and that makes things easier to understand. So far in the story the people have arrived and have gotten to know each other a little bit. They all went to dinner and talked to each other. Then a loud speaker came on and accused them all of various murders. No one knows who announced it but they are all really upset and in shock.
