  1. I think of Hurcule Poirot in a suspicious mmanner. I seem to think that he is the murderer. "M.Hercule Poirot was a little late in entering the luncheon-car on the following day. He had risen early, had breakfasted almost alone, and had spent the morning going over the notes of the case that was recalling him to London. He had seen little of his traveling companion." (Page 25) Just the way he talks and the things he says makem think of him as the murderer.

  2. I think that Poirot is very smart. Of course, he has experience, being a detective.
    "Behind this business, I am convinced, there is a cool, intelligent, resourseful brain. Miss Debenham answers to that description." page 189. So far, I really like this book!! Poirot is a great character too!!

  3. I personaly think that Hurcule Poirot is strange. He acts strange when he eats alone and does not interact with the other people on the train. I so far think he is a good person, who is just a little diffrent. Even though he is diffrent I belive that he is well respected amoung the people he is ofeten with.

  4. I disagree with Brandon. I disagree with Brandon because I do not think that Poirot is the murderer. The things he has done do not prove that he is suspicious. Even though he is diffrent I dont think he is the right charachter to be a murderer. I also disagree with Brandon because I think that the reason he talks and thinks strangely is because he is a detective.

  5. I think of Hrcule Poirot as a man with a big bushy moustache. He has the police helmet, and a small gotie.

  6. I disagree with Brandon. I disagree with Brandon because I do not think that Poirot is the murderer. The things he has done do not prove that he is suspicious. Even though he is different I don’t think he is the right character to be a murderer. I also disagree with Brandon because I think that the reason he talks and thinks strangely is because he is a detective.
