When we ask a child about their dream job, many answers often come up: police officer, doctor, astronaut, teacher, ninja, princess, etc. However, it is rare to find a few names on that list, especially that of a funeral director or an embalmer. What would it be like to work, everyday, amongst the deceased? Are there any psychological or emotional repercussions on employees and how might one’s vision on life and death change after such a marginal career? These questions were answered after my visit to the Armstrong-Rideau funeral home, with the help of our guide Alexandre.

For example, on page 169-170, Philip Lombard and Vera Claythorne discuss who they think the killer is and both of them are wrong. Philip suspects Judge Lawrence Wargrave and Vera suspects Doctor Armstrong, who Lombard soon begins to distrust as well. The use of irony adds to the suspense because it shows that the characters cannot escape their fate by reasoning out who the killer is, as they are always

It soon becomes evident that all ten people are marked for death for crimes they have committed but have not been punished for. Instead of enjoying a weekend as guests of their mysterious benefactor Ulick Norman Owen, the visitors are stalked relentlessly by death. The means by which they are dispatched involve the metronomic working out of the nursery rhyme "The Little Indians." As each victim is killed in concert with the way the little Indian boys die, an Indian figure is stealthily removed from the collection of figurines in the living room of the house. Thus, the story consists of a seemingly inevitable countdown to zero or nothingness”

By using electricity generated from fossil fuel power stations, burning gas for heating or driving a petrol or diesel car, every person is responsible for CO2 emissions.
