//And Then There Were None // Agatha Christie I selected this novel because my teacher assigned it to me. That the novel used to be called "Ten Little Indians" but they changed it before it was published in America because it was considered racist. Before the novel began they all got their letters from Mr. and Mrs. Owens. A narrator is telling this story, which is in 3rd person. The setting of this novel is on an unpopulated island where only a husband and wife live in their mansion. It is a well known island, but nobody ever goes there. It would not have been the same or as easy to get all those people there if it was in just a regular city because an island is isolated, hard to get off, and this island is not traveled to. There for, the location makes it easier to make a scandal like the one in the story because they cannot go get help or escape from the island. They all meet each other and come to find that none of them have ever met or talked on the phone with Mr. and Mrs. Owens. They each receive letters from them for all different things and when they arrive at their house, the hosts are nowhere to be found. The author keeps people reading by giving little clues throughout the story hinting about what might happen. Then, just as we are wondering how they are all connected; the tape plays saying exactly why they are here.
