And Then There Were None Reflection
And Then There Were None Summer Reading Reflection And Then There Were None was a very interesting book. It was a very creative way to make something horrible entertaining. It has many twists and turns and the killer is who you would least expect it to be. And Then There Were None is a book that is definitely on the top of my favorite books list.
There weren’t too many connections in this book, but I noticed a personal connection weaved into the book. Every time Vera Claythorne reacted to something, a death for example, she reminded me of how my grandmother would react. Vera was surprised and scared. She would cry out in disgust or scream because she was frightened, however, she would do all of this in a posh, British manner, just like my

One important lesson is there are consequences to every action, positive and negative. An example of this lesson in the book is that all of the characters had peccant backgrounds, they each did something unlawful, for instance, murdering someone. Their wrong actions came back and they all got killed as a consequence.Another good lesson from this book is that justice will eventually be served. It may take a long time but justice will come through. It was not right that Justice Wargrave lynched all of those people, however, justice was created when Mr.Wargrave killed himself. Justice was achieved because Mr.Wargrave was no longer murdering people. I believe that this is one of the most important lessons in this book. In this book, there are many characters and they are all in the book about equal, but I believe that the main character is the killer, Justice Wargrave. It was difficult to identify the main character. However, during the book, I realized that Justice Wargrave was really ruling out who could have done it and who couldn’t have, and that was a big part of the book. Also, he is the killer, so he is why the events in the book happen. His problem

    And as in most books, the main character develops throughout the book, learning from his or hers mistakes and whatever else they might have come across. "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" is a saying that many live by, or turn to in bad times. What it means is basically that it is impossible to know which roads to take in life. You might experience a rough time once in a while, but life is about learning, and this is what you learn from. Secondly you will learn that if you choose one that is a blind alley you should probably consider an alternative the next time you have to a similar decision.…

    They can teach us about one of the so called ¨Seven Deadly Sins,¨ Greed. Both Stapleton and Jack Merridew felt greeds all-consuming power and they both completely succumbed to it. Stapleton's greedy desire for money drove him to kill others, steal, and probably to commit several other crimes that are not mentioned in the novel. Jack Merridew's greed was directed toward becoming leader and having sovereignty over all the other boys on the island. We should take heed from the mistakes of Stapleton and Jack Merridew and not follow down the path of destruction and chaos they chose. It is hard to battle greedy desires because greed is unlike any other desire. We all recognize there is constituted order of life that limits growth and every created thing on the earth has respected ¨normal¨ size, give or take a slight amount. When the ¨normal¨ size is achieved growth usually halts. Greed is the opposite. It keeps getting larger and larger and larger and large. Greed does not cease to grow, which poses a serious amount of danger. Stapleton's greed for money grew and grew and grew until it drove him to commit murder and Jack Merridew's greed for dominance grew and grew and grew until it drove him to kill and manipulate others. We all at some point in our lives will have a greedy desire and we must learn from Stapleton and Jack Merridew by controlling our greed and not letting it have power over us.…

    Firstly, both Scobie and Leseur have lessons they can teach to all. However, I have extracted my most meaningful quotes and sayings from the book. Sayings that teach the most valuable lessons and show deeper meaning in the characters. For instance, on page 20-21, Ishmael states “Essentially, the most important thing I learnt last year was to make myself as small target as possible.” I believe this has a strong message behind it, I interpret it as saying if you don’t do anything noticeable, then life will be easy. This however is not true. Rather than hiding from everything and trying your hardest to be invisible, we should learn to embrace life and the challenges that come with it. This is an extremely important life lesson that many people ignore. Another quote from earlier on in the book (page 69) Ishmael states “when Barry Bagsley threatened you, you backed down. That’s just the way it was” I interpreted the message in this to be that although it may seem impossible and scary, it’s sometimes better to stand up for yourself.…

    The first lesson learned comes right from the first chapter where Whyte invites the readers to understand work and the word destiny in life. He points out something that we don’t really think much about which is that we spend far more time in the workplace than we do with our families or anywhere else. So if we don’t ask ourselves how our work or school in my case now, germane to our personal destiny we are leaving something very important behind. “The soul life…
