"I like killing people because it is so much fun. It is more fun than killing wild game in the forrest because man is the most dangerous animal of them all." - Zodiac Killer. While And Then There Were None was a story about finding righteousness from the law, the killer wanted the “killers” to serve their sentence that he thought was justifiable. Superstitious is a book about a college grad student who is trying to get her psychology degree while trying to get over her last relationship but falls in love with the charming Professor Liam O’Connor while many brutal murders are taking place. While there are many differences in the different books ranging from the time that they take place to how the author writes about the killings of the characters. …show more content…
Stine did it was either one of the best written by him or it was the worst book he’s written. Personally I think it was a great novel compared to And Then There Were None it was way more graphic, something that I appreciate greatly from an author of the murder mystery genre. One major difference, would be how they set the murders up. R.L. Stine places you with the character that is about to be killed, whereas Agatha Christie places you with the survivors until the murder has already occurred. The authors styles of writing also differ from one another, Agatha Christie writes with a feeling of dread with her suspicion, and R.L. Stine writes with a sense of dread with his suspicion. There are however certain similarities between the two authors writing styles, they both switched between the characters in the chapters. Both of them had their books developed into a movie in the 1900’s, And Then There Were None was made into a movie in 1945 and Superstitious was made into a movie in 1995. They both set the scene with a little back story before getting into the story itself . The authors told the story from the point of view of each character throughout the story, even if that character was only in the book for a chapter or
Since there is a movie and book version of the story, there are both similarities and differences.
The stories bear minor similarities and differences that the setting influences the plot development by era and place, main characters backgrounds, and environment /time frame of stories.
The movie and the book had one main thing in common; the plot. They are both about heirs coming to Sunset Towers to figure out who murdered Sam Westing for millions of dollars. The heirs are split up into pairs, and are given clues to play Mr. Westing’s game. Both the movie and the book have similar pairs, but each pair connects differently.
The first Similarity that both share is Setting. The setting of And Then There Were None is on an island, off the coast of Devon, England. The setting for the movie Clue is in Washington D.C. Both the movie and books events take place in a large mansion with a wealthy owner. The setting is also alike that in both the movie and book the mansions are far away from the public, and it takes a long time for them to be reached by anyone. In both the movie and book the weather is alike, because for both its storming out. And Then There Were None takes place in 1939, while Clue takes place in
Both the novel and the film share indistinguishable qualities. For example,They both have the same places as the novel.There were the DX,Tasty Freeze,the lot,the church,and the characters houses.Since they had the same places the same things happened.They have the same places so,they have the same scenes.However,they seem identical, they have a lot of differences.
First and foremost, the fiction and nonfiction aspect comes into play when talking about these two specific books.
Suspense. Mystery. Murder. This book kept you thinking about them all. There are ten people on an island they are all mysteriously dying one by one. Everyone is accusing each other of killing others. In the novel And Then There Were None written by Agatha Christie, the mystery elements that were used were: main conflict, setting, characterization, and the author's techniques of giving clues.
My class and I recently read the book And Then There Were None. In the story, there was a poem about indians that was put on the wall. This poem had a significant role upon the story that we read. This poem was what the murderer followed when he was killing the people in the story. I will discuss a few of the lines of the poem and how that person died in accordance to the line. The first line of the poem reads: Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. This was prefiguring when one of the people was poisoned when him and the others were eating and drinking. The killer followed closely to this line of the poem so he could strike fear into the guests, and so he could also let the people start
Christie’s novel is set in the 1930s and takes place on a fictional island off the English coast, Indian island, whereas Ruth´s novel is set in Northumberland, deep in the woods of Kielder forest, which is near the village Stonebridge. In both settings the houses the characters are staying in is starkly out of place. A modern glass house in the middle of a laid off forest, vulnerable to the darkness of the night with a “sense of being watched”, and a mansion located on an isolated abandoned island. The settings of the two novels alone sets a very sinister, compulsive and suspenseful atmosphere. Both places are hard to reach and leave by oneself, the authors create an even more ominous tone to the novels by taken the characters appurtenance to external communication, creating the sense of a psychological as well as physical isolation. Each author has their own way into luring the characters to the setting they are supposed to be at in order for the stories of the novels to fall into place. Here the two novels slightly take their own ways to approach this. In Christie’s “And then there were none”, the characters are tricked into going to the island in different ways, all of them are lied to. Dr. Edward George Armstrong is told he is needed as a doctor, Vera Claythorne is told to work as a secretary to Mrs. Owen, none of the characters end up doing what they thought they were called there for. In Ware´s “In a dark dark wood”, the characters are going to the house in the deep woods of Kielder forest to attend Claire's hen party, yet it turns out that there was a more sinister reason for the selected people to attend the hen party. In both novels, what should have been a fun or interesting time takes an unexpected sinister
Agatha Christie, author of the murder mystery And Then There Were None, used foreshadowing and both external and internal conflict to portray the theme of her novel that justice can be served for the crimes that go unpunished. Christie used these elements because she enjoyed mystery and she liked to keep her readers engaged while reading. Agatha Christie is still considered one of the best, if not, the best murder mystery writer today because she wrote the first murder mystery novel and she wrote many more after that that was well loved by people.
Both of these works have very similar narrators. By just reading the works, they seem very different because of who they killed and why, where and with whom they lived, and how they murdered their victims. But, by analyzing the two men, they become more and more alike. They both tell their stories in the first person and write from their jail cells. Each chose to reference an animal in their stories. The two men, both hide the corpses in the structures of the homes. Likewise, the narrators try to defend their sanity by logically justifying their horrific actions based on their mental states throughout the flashbacks of the events.
In her novels “Death on the Nile” and “And Then There Were None” Agatha Christie uses foreshadowing and both external and internal conflict to portray the theme of her novel, the idea that justice will always triumph. In "Death on the Nile" Poiret undertakes the position of bringing about what’s due to the guilty character. At the same time in “And Then There Were None" the protagonist is unclear because while Justice Wargrave is the one seeking justice, his methods are flawed. Agatha Christie uses mystery in both of her books to emphasize how the truth will come out in the end. This is clearly shown in “Death on The Nile” where the outcome is clear-cut while “And Then There Were None” is undefined and elusive. Although both books use morbid and unethical methods of showing their objective, both stress their point and Agatha Christie's opinion on

In the novel And Then There Were None written by Agatha Christie, the mystery elements that were used were: main conflict, setting, characterization, and the author’s techniques of giving clues.
