In Chapter 7 of "And Then There Were None," we explore how characters draw conclusions based on the evidence available, mirroring our role as readers. As deaths occur, the guests must rationalize the events, leading them to make conclusions about each other. For instance, they speculate that Anthony Marston's death was suicide due to the poison found only in his glass, despite him not being perceived as suicidal. This chapter invites readers to engage deeply with the narrative by recording evidence and drawing conclusions, fostering critical thinking about character motivations and plot developments.

ATTWN – Chapter 7Drawing Conclusions: as good readers, we use evidence provided by the author to make conclusions about characters, events, etc. In ATTWN, the characters themselves do the same, and therefore, as readers, we know much more. Once characters begin to die, the guests are forced to draw conclusions (based on what they know) to explain the deaths.
Example: Conclusion: Anthony Marston must have committed suicide because the poison was only in his glass. Evidence/Rationale: Even though no one believes him to be the “suicidal” type, there is no other possible explanation.
Directions… • As you see characters arrive at a conclusion, record the evidence they used & the conclusion they draw. Feel free to draw some of your own conclusions too, just be sure you provide the rationale behind your thinking.
