Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 252 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

And Then There Were None
The beginning of tis novel really has you on edge. You begin to question whether you actually know who the killer is. Although it seemed as if the Butler killed the first victim, this acuasation is depleted because the Butler was just following orders as shown by the note given to him. Theres no real way to tell who is the killer because of the speculation that it literally could be anyone since they were all called out to the island because they were all accused of murder. Anyone could be the bad guy but while the story develops, that could all change and flip to be someone we never expected to be. Novels like this have the reader taking guesses along the way to determine who is the killer having us believe its one person when it could be the next person. And Then There Were None is a greatly constucted novel that sets a edgy tone for the reader.
