She passed out. Answers vary as to why it happened
When discussion begins about "Mr. Owen," what do the characters discover? What does this add to the story?
None of them know a "Mr. Owen". This adds a sense of suspense/thrill to the story.
"Davis" admits that his real name is Detective William Henry Blore. He uses a type of figurative language when he says, "Cat's out of the bag, it seems. I suppose I'd better admit that my name isn't Davis." What kind of fig lang?
idiom - "cat's out of the bag" is a saying that means "since everyone knows my secret"
Why was Detective Blore invited to the island? (Find evidence to support your claim on p. 50)
He was invited to "join the house party, posing as a guest. I was given all your names. I was to watch you all."
On page 50, what do the guests realize about U.N. Owen's name?
It sounds like UNKNOWN...as in the host and owner of the house is "unknown."
What does the judge mean when he says, "Oh, yes. I've no doubt in my own mind that we have been invited here by a madman- probably a dangerous homicidal lunatic"?
The owner of the home is a crazy man who is more than likely dangerous, could be a murderer and has a twisted sense of life.
The characters start to question each other after the accusations are made from The Voice. What are they questioning each other about? What does this show us?
Questioning each other about who their letter was from & the truth behind each of their back stories. It shows they are becoming suspicious of each other.
