What's The Difference Between a Nursery Rhyme and Real Life?



Author’s Note: The reason I wrote this passage is because I wanted to share the cause and effect of the book “And Then There Were None” with my fellow friends. Pay close attention to the cause and effects and the way the paragraph flows.  





There are many cause and effects to the book And Then There Were None. During dinner one evening, the guests notice ten soldier boy figurines on the dining room table. Each guest acknowledges that someone had died, but denies any capability of eliminating that person. The guests realize they have been tricked into coming to the island, each of them lured with something special to them, like a job opportunity. Unfortunately, they soon find they cannot leave; the boat which regularly delivers supplies has stopped arriving because of the storm.  Everyone on the island knows that the supplies has stopped, they believe that  they are murdered one by one, each death the same as a verse of the nursery rhyme. Every time a person dies then one of the figurines is mysteriously being removed.


A cause would be the death of Anthony James Marston died from poison in his drink. The effect would be, everyone going crazy on who did it and each character  is struggling to keep a grip without losing control. Also the cause is the bad weather, the effect is the ten people are stuck on the island without resources from land.
