SUMMARY: So far, three people, Anthony Marston, Mrs. Rogers, and General Macarthur, died as the nursery rhyme. There are just seven people, Lawrence Wargrave, Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, Emily Brent, Dr. Armstrong, William Blore, and Mr. Rogers. They began to doubt each other and they talked about their evidence as who has any possibilities to kill General Macarthur. However, everyone couldn’t prove their evidence distinctly. They had talked at night. They decided to go to their own bedroom and hoped that they would leave this island tomorrow. In next morning, everyone waked up late because Mr. Rogers did not awake them for breakfast. Everyone began to find him, and then they found him easily at back yard with death. He died how an axe chopped his head. Also, there were just six dolls. After they ate breakfast, Emily Brent remained alone at the kitchen for washing dishes. While she was washing the dishes, she saw that a bumble bee was flying. She felt like that the bee stock her neck, and then she fell in sleep forever. Dr. Armstrong examined her and found the reason of the death, but the reason was not the bumble bee. She was killed by an injection needle and poison which was same as the murder used for killing Marston. Dr. Armstrong suggested that they locked some things which could be a weapon to kill people. Everyone agreed with the suggestion and they went to each room. As soon as, Philip Lombard realized that his revolved, a type of gun, was stolen. They tried to find it, but nobody found it. They thought that aloneness would be dangerous, so they stayed at drawing room together. After a few hours, Vera Claythorne wanted rest at her room and went to there. As soon as she arrived at her room, she screamed loudly and fainted. Other people ran to her room and there was a strand of seaweed hanging her room. And then, they realized that Wargrave is not here. They came back the drawing room and there was Wargrave with death by gun shot, who was wearing a judge hair and a gown.

REACTION: So far, the story is running fast because three people died in several parts. They also began to doubt each other and the situation makes me pay attention the book. I could not lose my tension. Sometimes, I clue who is the murder but I am not sure now because of the book name. It means nobody could live, but I think that there will be some reasons and the murder could not be a ghost. At first, I did not understand why the murder would kill them as the nursery rhyme. During read, I realized that it makes readers wonder how to the murder kill people as the nursery rhyme. When I read a part which Emily Brent died, I do not know that how the bumble kills her. I believed that it really killed her, but my clue was not right. As this part, I thought that some part of the nursery rhyme could be possible. My wondering was solved finally by the part of Emily Brent. I realized that the murder tried to kill them in close condition as the nursery rhyme. However, the wondering how the murder kills other people still remains in my mind. Now there are just four people and the story is running to final parts.

SUMMARY: Dr. Armstrong had a nightmare and Mr. Roger awaked him in the next morning. Mr. Rogers requested Dr. Armstrong to go to his room with him. There was his wife lying down on a bed and did not move. Dr. Armstrong examined her and said that she had died, but he didn’t know the reason of the death. Everyone extremely wanted to leave the island. Only a way of leaving the island was a boat which a bakery shop used to deliver Mr. Rogers some bread every morning. However, the boat did not come after passing the morning even though they were waiting long time. Three men searched the island to find somebody who lives in the island except the ten people, but they found nothing. They determine that there were only the ten people in the island. When Dr. Armstrong talked with Wargrave, Mr. Rogers extremely came and talked that there were just eight dolls. The people thought that the situation became as the nursery rhyme. General Macarthur said that nobody could leave the island and he stay alone near a cliff. When they ate lunch, they could see General Macarthur who died and there were seven dolls.

REACTION: So far, the story is running to middle part. The book gradually becomes hard to read because I couldn’t skip some parts which I don’t understand. All parts become important to understand the story. If I skip a part without understanding, I would come back the part and reread it. When I read the part which three men begin to search the outside of the island, I thought that one of them will die because next of the nursery rhyme is ‘Eight little Soldier Boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.’ However, my thought was wrong. I was surprised at the result. This book made my thinking to be foolish. I thought that the author is really smart because she knew how people would think the next story. So, I realized that she wrote the story how people couldn’t expect next part. Now, I really wonder about who is going to die next and how. This book couldn’t make me relieved.

SUMMARY: The guests asked to the Mr. Roger about Mr. and Mrs. Owen, who is hosts. However, Mr. Roger didn’t know him. He had never met them and he and his wife were hired by letters. They just did in order as the letters. On the letters, there was a name, Ulick Norman Owen. Another letter that Brent had was written by Una Nancy Owen. The guests thought about that and clued that sounded UNKONWN. They confessed their bad memories. Each person influenced some people to die, but they thought that all the happen were accidents. They kept denying their doing so. As soon as they turned to their room, Anthony Marston dropped his cup, and then he had collapsed. Armstrong, who was a doctor, examined him and decided he was death. Also, he explained the reason was that somebody put poison into his glasses. At first, they had thought that Marston would kill himself, but some people didn’t agree about it. After carrying Marston to his bedroom, other people went their room except Mr. Rogers to clean the dining room. While he was cleaning the room, he saw that there were nine soldier dolls.

REACTION: So far, the story begins to make me exciting. When the guests clued the name, UNKOWN, I was really surprised at it. I had never thought about that. I thought the writer was a genius. When they confessed their bad memories, I thought they really stood near a person’s death each other, but I agreed about that some people’s event were accidents. I don’t understand about this part till now. I was really wondered about that how the murder put the poison into his cup. There were many people and they drank wine. If someone did any strange acting, the others would think that the person was a murder, but nobody told it. After Marston died, I realized that Dr. Armstrong is important person in this story to solve the event. A part of losing a doll was surprised me again because I realized why there were ten dolls and why a doll disappeared after Marston died. The story gradually is made me fall in the book and very an attractive story. Now, I wonder next chapter.
