"And Then there were none" Part one.

I finished reading the "Part one" of the book. I found out that the part one was about 10 main characters' background. Thus chapter 4 through chapter 8 are about each character's information. However, the last chapter was different, it was about one old man who was writing all the characters' names in the book. He said to the person who was sitting next to him that "Watch and pray. The day of judgement is at hand." Then the part one finished.

I was wondering　why the chapter ended with "Watch and pray. The day of judgement is at hand.". Remember? Last week, in my blog, I was thinking that people will gather at Soldier Island. I think this quote prove that people will gather at there. Do you think so?? Or What do you think the meaning of that quote?

And Then there were none ch2-3

this week i read two chapters. The sch 2 is about Vera and Ch 3 is about Philip. Vera was looking for new job and finally she got a letter foam someone that she is able to get a good job and that job relates to Soldier Island. In ch 3, Philip decided to go to Soldier Island because he thinks that it is interesting.

Interestingly ch1, 2, 3 are not connected each other at all. At first I thought that the story is going to be about Mr. Wargrave, but now it seems that Vera and Philip are main characters. what's are the connection between these tree characters? I think the connection is Soldier Island. Somehow, these tree characters are talking about that island. Thus I assume that even though they do not know each other, they will meet at Soldier Island and will talk about their connections.

New book & All the years of her life & Enchanted Garden

Independent reading

I started to read the new book called "And then there were none" written by Agatha Christy. I read only one chapter yet. Therefore I am not sure about the meaning of the title. The story is about one man whose name is Mr. Wargrave. In the train, he is reading the newspaper about “Soldier Island”. He thinks that this is a news and after he read the news, he fell asleep.

When I looked at the cover page of this book, I think of Black Hole because in the cover page, the thing similar to the black hole is drown. I consider that this book is going to be something sad or dark. The reason why I decided to read this cook is that Dai recommended to me. Dai always chooses the good book. Even though the story seems quite sad, I am exited reading this book.


All the year of her life ( response for ( what strategies did I use)

I was thinking that if the gender of the characters are different, the story is very different. For example, if the mother was the father, the story will be changed. The father may be strict so that as a result a boy may be caught by the police If we change one thing of the story, we are able to see the story from many different aspects.

The strategy that I used was “I try to guess or make a prediction what the text is about before I read it.”. Before I read this story, in the class we thought about our mother. So that I was able to guess that the story is going to be about mother.


Enchanted Garden( evaluation)
I think of the theme of this story. I thought that the theme of it is freedom. However, in the class Pueng told in the class that the theme can be that the life is not easy and I agree with it. The reason is that even though the rich boy want to play in the outside, he can not because he is sick. Thus he is not happy. On the other hand, Two children are not happy because they were playing in someone else’s garden. Both of case, they envy each other.

The strategy that I used was “ I use pictures in text to help me understand better what I am reading” because in the story, there is one picture that is like a garden and thanks to that picture, I was able to think the picture of the story.
