Chapter VII Journal Questions

1. ATTWN - The Soundtrack. Sometimes it helps to listen to "mood music" while reading to help your imagination to really feel the tone of the novel.  Is there a particular song or soundtrack that you can think of that captures the mood for you? If so, what is the title of the music and the composer/performer? Why does this song fit for you?


2. A Searching We Will Go. Why do Lombard, Armstrong, and Blore decide to search the house and the island? What do they hope to accomplish? What is their plan and what will they do if they succeed?

3. Author's use of Imagery. Read the following passage from chapter 7:

"She turned her face to Vera. There was no self-reproach, no uneasiness in those eyes. They were hard and self-righteous. Emily Brent sat on the summit of Indian Island, encased in her own armour of virtue."

Expand on what Agatha Christie is telling us about Brent in this passage. Based upon this description, how would you describe Emily Brent? What kind of person is she?
