Week 4

Hello passengers and personnel,

By the end of this lesson, you should have put at least 3 posts under your person's name:

1. The Voki i.e the presentation of your person

2. Your witness report (recorded)

3. The first part of your story. Write as if you are the person traveling on the train. Describe your person, the environment, what is happening, who you think is the murderer, why it is done etc. It should be a story, not a description. Let us know what you see, hear, say, think... and as always, motivate your answers.

Good luck / Miss Swanson

my story

I am running down the platform, as the train is supposed to leave in a minute or two. I work as a waitress on the Taurus Express and I enjoy it very much, when we have nice passengers, otherwise it could be a bit boring. I am Emily Landrake and 22 years old. I am not like any other on this train. sometimes quite shy, but effective. I love to serve breakfast to the passengers because it´s good for me too move my legs. I look outside the window and see that it begins snowing. Emily does not like the snow. She would anyway not like to get snow in her face. Not so convenient. I turns around and suddenly a man in 24-year-old asks her where the toilet is. I am watching his beautiful eyes and gets nervous. I looks up again and asks the young man to ask about his question. Emily pointing to the left side and the man continue his way there. His eyes were as shiny crystals. There are not many who believe in first sight but Emily do. I continue with his job and then have days run out.Emily went to her compartment in paris coach. I change my clothes to sleepwear and jumped into bed. I closed my eyes and begin thinking about the murder of Samuel Ratchett. Emily was in love with louis but today she was really impressed by the charming man.

The End!

My name is Lily Blake and I’m 32 years old and I’m quite straightforward and bossy. I like to tell the other waitresses what they should do and I’m a little lazy. My body is stout and I’m tough. I keep my long, blond hair in a tidy knot and my samll blue eyes observe everything. I keep track of everyone, both staff and passengers. 

I come from Newcastle and I have been working for the train company for eight years since my divorce from my alcholic husband. We didn’t ger any children. 

I like travelling around the world meeting new people all the time. I will work a lot during Christmas and New Year’s holidays to earn some extra money. I like fancy clothes. I’m secretly in love with the restaurant waiter Robert Jason. I sleep in berth nummer 4 in the staff section in the Paris coach. I share the compartment with Sarah Walker.

I know now that everybody killed him. But before I got the answer, I thought that it was someone of the waitresses. I don’t just thought that maybe he was kind of rude or didn’t tip them?

I was actually on the train just because I thought to my self that I would miss Robert too much. And I may as well get some one out of it. And maybe because I really wanted to meet Mr. Rachett. I have heard a lot about him. And there were going to be a lot of intresting people on the train. Also I was always working at the same place, and I thought it may be fun for me to get on a train and just talk and make food for people.

3 years later..

I and Robert Jason got married just last week. I found out that he liked me too, thanks to Mr. Rachett. The same day when Mr. Rachett was murdered he told me:

- Would you look at that? He, Mr. Jason, lights up whenever you smile. I think you should take a chance and just give it all you have.. It’ll be worth it.

I will forever be thankfull to Mr. Rachett, because of him I got my prince. I don’t think that Mr. Rachett was a bad person, just that he was in all the wrong places at the worst time. I mean if it wasn’t for him, I would never in millions years got the courage to go up to Robert and just talk. 

nånting?

Hello. I’m Wendy Lewis. I work here as a maid. I think there is something wrong here on the train... I mean, the count and the countess are a little special here. The count is very over-protective and he never let his wife talk to anyone. She always looks down, I think there is something wrong there. Well I spoke with my colleague yesterday. We spoke about it and she thinks that I’m right. She thinks it too, and it is a very akward feeling. I think that there is something special with them because they never ever speak to anyone and that is what gives it an akward feeling! But... Someone found a knife in the bedroom of miss Harriet Hubbard yesterday, and when I was in the kitchen yesterday at the night to get something to drink I saw that the knife was gone and before the knive was gone count André was in the kitchen, and when i asked him what he did there he wouldn’t give me an answer and just said ”nothing” I became a little scared, because he and mister samuel rattchett had a lot of problem with some money and they always faught about money. One day I heard them fighting very much and André said to Samuel ”If you don’t give me the money on thursday afternoon I’ll kill you. I don’t know what is going on here but I think that the count André killed Samuel and he just hid the knife in the room of Harriet so nobody would think it was him. But I still think that André is the murderer. I don’t know if it is true and we’ll see.
