Literary Luminary

1) Mr. Lombard takes a revolver to out-of-the-way places, right enough, and a primus and a sleeping bag and a supply of bug powder, no doubt.-pg. 89 paragraph 2
2)I could have told you that your search would be fruitless. Nevertheless I am strongly of the opinion that 'Mr. Owen' (to gibe him the name he himself has adopted) is on the island. Very much so. Given the scheme in question which is neither more nor less than the execution of justice upon certain individuals for offences which the law cannot touch, there is only one way in which that scheme could be accomplished. Mr. Owen could only come to the island in one way.
"It is perfectly clear. Mr. Owen is one of us..."-pg. 100-101 last paragraph
3)"You're quite right, Rogers. Look for yourself. There are only seven...."-pg.99 3rd paragraph

I thought that you found a very interesting couple of paragraphs about how Mr. Owen could be someone on the island. That is very interesting.

1. The guests on the island are suspicious of Lombard and how he brought a revolver to an unlikely places.

2. I think that it is very obvious that "Mr. Owen" is one of the guest of the island. I think that as more guests die, the more restless the guests will get and chaos will follow.

3. I think that the disappearing indians are done by the murderer to scare the guests. I think that the guests will start to blame Mr. Rogers because he is always the one to find that an indian is missing.

I think that these passages were pretty important because they are now connecting the figures to the people, and when people die a figure is taken from the table. And also they are now thinking that Mr.Owen could be one of the people on the island, and killing people, I think that is very interesting.
