Sherlocks Holmes is presented with the case of The Red-Headed League. Mr. Jabez Wilson, a former member, comes to Holmes with a inquiry as to why his morning job has abruptly ended, where he was hired as an amanuensis to the Encyclopedia Britannica by those named The Red-Headed League. The League is an organization exclusively for men with naturally red hair, and the purpose of purely providing them with a nominal occupation and steady income. The organization was birthed out of the coincidental death of the wealthy man Ezekiah Hopkins who directed his will towards caring for those with the red hair without stating any disadvantages nor reasons as to why. Mr. Wilson met all the requirements in addition to being of natural color and used this

They received awards when they traded in the redskins. These bounty hunters when they hunted them down the Native American skin was referred to animal skin.

In "Could You Be the Next Sherlock?" by Kristen Lewis, Sherlock Holmes is perceived as a mindful man, in "Could You Be the Next Sherlock?" the author states, “Turns out, there is an aspect of Sherlock’s brilliance that we can all develop: mindfulness,” Lewis is implying that Sherlock Holmes is, indeed, a very mindful character. This trait is shown throughout the play,"The Red Headed League" by Arthur Goldwag. For example, on page 13 of "The Red Headed League", the author states, “The League was a ruse she and Duncan Ross cooked up to get Mr. Wilson out of the way for three days a week.

When H.H. Holmes arrives in Chicago, he looks like any other ambitious young doctor braving the journey to the Windy City to start a new life. “He walked with confidence and dressed well, conjuring an impression of wealth and achievement. He was twenty-six years old… He had dark hair and striking blue eyes, once likened to the eyes of a Mesmerist,” describes the author. Larson cites a physician, John L. Capen, “‘Great murderers, like great men in other walks of activity, have blue eyes’” (35). In including this citation, Larson clues the reader in on Holmes’ true nature in addition to eliciting a feeling of unease through his diction. With this first impression, the reader is already wary of Holmes and his actions. Larson further solidifies this distrust with the following passages. “The city had impressed [Holmes], he said later, which was surprising because as a rule nothing impressed him, nothing moved him. Events and people captured his attention the way moving objects caught the notice of an amphibian: first a machinelike registration of proximity, next to calculation of worth, and last is a decision to act or remain motionless.” (37) With this quotation, Larson explains how Holmes chose
Strike one!! The bottom of the 9th down by 3, bases are loaded. And Matt Smith is up to bat. Strike two! The Red Rosters need this win to get to the playoffs. CRACK!! A drive up the middle. You could hear it all around the park. It's a homerun! After the game in Tennessee. The whole team partied like no tomorrow. All of a sudden there was a loud ringing noise. It was like a bell. It was the phone. It was the general manager of the Miami Marlins. Matt's heart was racing the Indy 500 in his chest. You could hear good news in that man's voice. He said, “How would you like to be a catcher for the Miami Marlins?” Matt's heart was beating even faster as if it was going to explode into a million pieces. Matt's said anxiously “Yes!” “Great. You will fly to Miami at dusk.” Said the Manager. But wait will I be playing a lot as a Marlin? Said Matt. The manager said it's hard to say.
Logic Watson! Give me logic Miss Walden!" Not only was this man rude but he was also bossy; just what I needed in my life. At least his friend 'Watson' is nice enough. I wish they would really make up their minds, was it psychology they wanted or was it philosophy? Clearing my throat I spoke, "How about I get you a both, Sherlock if you don't mind telling me what you need this book for it would be a lot easier to help find you a logical selection." Sherlock seemed surprised to find someone complying so quickly after just denouncing a whole branch of science, one I found some truth in. "Well you see, I'm a consulting detective, the only one in fact, and John and I have a case regarding a man with what I believe to be 'Mommy issues' going around kidnapping single mothers. Please be quick about all of this, we need this information now!" Sherlock described. All the while he's describing this all the pieces are coming together for me, Sherlock, the curly hair, Watson, consulting detective: Sherlock Holmes the main all over the papers lately with that silly hate of

When someone mentions the occupation of detective, a single image usually comes to mind, a man wearing a cape and deerstalker, holding a magnifying glass and smoking a pipe. This entire image can be contributed to one character: Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is considered by many to be the greatest detective to ever exist, even if he only exists in the pages of books and on movie and television screens. It is impossible to escape the influence of Holmes. Countless references are made to him in all types of media and he is used as an inspiration to may more fictional characters we have all grown to love. The cultural impact of Sherlock Holmes has spread to more than just fiction; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
A daily fantasy sports customer in Kentucky has filed a lawsuit against DraftKings and FanDuel, accusing the companies of fraud because they failed to disclose that their employees had access to insider data the suit claims could help them help win millions at the expense of regular customers.
Stated simply, the word myth, derived from the Greek word mythos, means story (Morford et al., p.3). However, this is an immense understatement; myth is a rich and interpretive source of information. Its value lies in the interpretation of its relationship with humanity and how it influenced, or was influenced by ancient society and culture. Myth has persisted to fascinate people by exploring the meeting place between human desires and morals. Myth uses symbolic characters and fantastic stories to portray the truths and complexities of what it means to be human.
Sherlock Holmes’s intelligence is demonstrated in both “The Red-Headed League” and “A Scandal in Bohemia”. During “A Scandal in Bohemia” he first demonstrates his intuitive thinking by figuring out that Count Kramm, the man introducing him on the case, is actually the King of Bohemia himself. This shows that he is able to make a quick determination about people’s lives just by having a brief conversation with them. This allows Holmes to solve mysteries that others cannot by simply looking at a suspect or location associated with the scenario. He uses this ability later in the story to find where the incriminating photo of the king with Adler is. He does this by creating a situation for himself where he will be able to get into Adler’s home. He then fakes a fire to see where Adler goes first so he can see where she keeps her most valuable possession, the photo. Holmes states “When a woman thinks that her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing which she values the most… Now it was clear to me that our lady of to-day had nothing in the house more precious to her then what we are questing for” (Doyle 19). This line of thinking shows that Holmes knows how to get people to inadvertently give him the information that he needs by putting them in the right situation and observing what they do. This skill
The focus of this investigation is to determine if there is a correlation between emotional well-being and the rising cases of adolescent depressive disorders. This investigation will be limited to adolescents, as defined as the period of transition to adulthood, (reference) according to the World Health Organisation.

As we know, “roommate” is a word, which is combined by “room” and “mate”. Therefore, according to “Dictionary.com”, the meaning of “roommate” is “a person who is assigned to share or shares a room or apartment with another or others”. Personally, I believe that my roommates are not only the people who share the house or live with me, but also they are my closed friends who know me well. In my mind, the definition of roommates is people who I regard as both friends and family members at the same time.
