3. Foreshadow “I’m talking to you, young man. The day of judgement is very close at hand.” (pg 15) “Good looking fellow. Something just a little wrong about him…….” (pg 21) But there was no house visible, only boldly silhouetted rock with its faint resemblance to a giant Indian’s head. There was something sinister about it. She shivered faintly. (pg 22)

4. Foreshadow  He was the right kind. Born to money, he was. If the party had been all like him…he'd understand it….. Queer business when you come to think of it- the whole thing was queer- very queer (pg26) Every thing somehow was a little queer. The absence of the Owens, the pale ghost-like Mrs. Rogers. And the guests! Yes, they were queer too. All oddly assorted party. (pg30)

5. Foreshadow  He was anxious to find out a little about these people who owned Indian island, but the man Narracott seemed curiously ill informed, or perhaps unwilling to talk.

7. Imagery  Where had he seen the frog-like face, that tortoise-like neck, that hunched up attitude, yes, and those pale shrewd little eyes?

8. Flashback  The sea… So peaceful to-day- sometimes so cruel…….The sea that dragged you down to its depths. Drowned….Found…..drowned…Drow ned No, she wouldn’t remember…She would not think of it! All that was over….. (pg 32)
