Seven Little Indian Boys!

Author's note: In this piece is included a poem from the book "And Then There Were None". In this poem it describes how each one of the deaths happened until none of the 10 people are alive anymore. 

One of the first deaths in my murder mystery

Is when Mrs.Rodger's over slept herself. This book

Is all about 10 people coming to this island of the coast of Devon and getting killed all 1 by 1. The main death I am focusing on right now is the death of Mr.Rodger's.  This death

Was caused because of the plot of this peculiar book.

The cause of this event is because of all of the other character and the paranormal poem Vera Claythorne

(one of the main characters) found lying on her bed one night:

Ten little Indian boys went out to dine,

One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late,

One over slept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Indian boys on the coast of Devon,

One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Indian boys chopping up stick,

One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive,

A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going in for law,

One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Indian boys went out to sea,

A red herring ate one and then there were three.

Three little Indian boys walking in a zoo,

A bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun,

One frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Indian boy left all alone;

He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

All of the deaths in this book have been following this pattern (with a few logical exceptions).  The death we are focusing on is one of the most important because of the chopping up sticks.

This death takes place while Rodger's is chopping up sticks. Next, the killer sneaks up, stealthily  behind him and nearly chops him in half with another axe while Rodger's was in the little wooden chopping shack. The effect of this event is another death following right after it and all of the other character being shocked and sad he was murdered.   If you want to find out exactly how the next murder takes place you will just have find out your self.

I think this book is not related to any real life situation....I beleive in this thought so highly because if you think hard enough you can realize that you will never actually be invited to an island just to get killed in a week. It also has a slight relation to the The Hunger Games.  I find this because they are both basically just a killing game...My thoughts of the relationship are very simple. 1) They are both a killing game and  2) They all have their different ways of surviving (until they do get killed) 3)


Authors Note: This was a little snip of cause and effect. The book is called And Then There Were None written by Agatha Christie. At first I had no interest in this book but then, I just couldn't put the book down. I realized it was all about cause and effect.
