Author: Agatha Christie
Number of pages read: 67
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.
Tai, I agree with you that you have understand all part of story and do not skip it; otherwise you would not have known end of story. Also, that is useful for you to know more vocabulary for reading. I think that all characters in the story knew they mystery of ten-soldiers-dolls. in addition, the writer began to tell details,in other word the contents of the story, and surely the readers began to analyize behaviors of persons who would be killed later. I think all readers won't be relived, and so am I because the story became extremely exciting to know who another person will be killed. I can say that I got the main idea, and the summary was organized perfectly to understand. Thanks
