My book is called Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Cardboard Box. It is a mystery written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who wrote many stories starring Sherlock Holmes. It is set in 19th century England. The major character is Sherlock Holmes. He possesses a keen intellect and is a master of reason and deduction. He has a brilliant analytical mind and an incredible range of knowledge. Sherlock is over six feet tall, thin, with piercing gray eyes and a thin hawk-like nose. Because he is self-appointed, Sherlock is the only consulting detective in the world. Although he is emotionally detached and can be looked at as cold, Sherlock manages to maintain a close relationship with Dr. John H. Watson, his roommate. A minor character is John H. Watson, who narrates the story and is Sherlock’s assistant and friend. John is a physician for the British army in Afghanistan, but is put on leave due to a shoulder injury. Being an Army veteran, he is an excellent shot and has a high sense of honor. He is fairly intelligent, loyal, straight-forward, and brave. John is middle-aged, strongly built, of average height, and has a small mustache. He is devoted to Sherlock and would risk his life for him. Another minor character is Miss Susan Cushing, a middle-aged placid woman who is the victim of what appears to be a revolting practical joke. Miss Cushing has large gentle eyes and gray hair. She has two sisters, Sarah and Mary. Jim Browning is the alcoholic husband of Mary. Alec Fairbairn
What inspired the author to write a book about such a crazy thing? My book is called “ Hideout” by Watt Key. This book was published on January 10, 2017. It was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux (BYR). It also has 320 riveting pages that won't let you put the book down! This is my absolute favorite book ever and is full of mystery and edge.
-The book setting is in New York City at the beginning and at the end of the twentieth century. This story is about burglar from Ireland, Peter Lake, and a young rich woman, Beverly Young. I think this would be a good book for me because I like the whole concept of the time changing and Peter trying to save the dying love of his life.
He chases butterflies and studies the moor and it’s inhabitants. In the book mortimer is a very creepy person and studies humans and skulls. While in the film mortimer is a acts in a more serious manner while Stapleton is incredibly creepy, he asks would you have an objection to me running my finger along parietal fissure? Also he makes more points about Holmes’ skull (Attwood, The Hound of the Baskervilles). This ends up making Stapleton a very creepy character for the suspense of the movie. In the book Watson looks up to Holmes with great respect and takes his smallest compliments and appreciates them greatly. Holmes states with great pride, “It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light.” (Doyle 3). By saying this he means, Watson is such a fool that he makes Homles seem even smarter than he is. In the film, however, Watson stands up to Homles at the end when he saves Homles from drowning in the moor pit even though he got shot by stapleton (Attwood, The Hound of the Baskervilles). Also, when Watson finds out Holmes has been investigating the case after Holmes told him that Holmes had work to do in london, He was outraged. There is also other small details in the story that do not have a huge effect on the plot but still change it slightly. For example, Laura Lyon does not exist in the film, even though in the book
The looming prospect of Miss Morstan becoming extremely wealthy clearly weighs on Watson, and he becomes insecure with his own life and his ability to be able to love this woman. “What was I,” he asked, “an army surgeon with a weak leg and a weaker
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle utilizes literary elements such as dialogue, tone, vocabulary, a different format of narration and perspective, along with chronology to construct the adventures of the eminent fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Dr. John Watson. The creative use of dialogue assists in telling the story fluently and vividly, while a suspenseful and occasionally humorous tone maintains interest from case to case. Long winded descriptions and complex vocabulary are infused into Doyle’s writing to fit his knowledgeable characters as well as fuse them into the setting of traditional Britain. Lastly, these features are accompanied by both Holmes and Watson’s different perspectives alongside each other. the tales of
The classic mystery novel, Sherlock Holmes, features a murder-mystery detective Sherlock Holmes, and his army doctor colleague Dr. John Watson. The story revolves around the main character, Sherlock Holmes, and his unique method to solving crimes. The story is mainly all about Sherlock and his abilities, which then rises the question about the importance of the character of Dr.Watson, both to the chaarcter of Sherlock Holmes, and towards the readers.
I picked the book called “Find Me” by Romily Bernard, because my favorite genre of books are mystery. I liked how the cover had a face in the background of it, you could tell it was a girl face because of the hair. The cover also had “Find Me” written all over it, so it made the book stand out a lot. My first impression on the book was that it was going to be a good mystery book just by the cover of it. After I looked at the cover, I read the summary inside of the book and it just grabbed my attention it was really good, well written, and it didn’t spoil the book. I also liked the quotes on the back of the book, I thought that was a cool idea. This book keeps you engaged and wanting to know more.
Sherlock Holmes and Dupin are both very good detectives, however they both have their merits and disadvantages. In this essay I will argue that Sherlock Holmes makes a better Detective than Dupin. Dupin is arrogant, selfish, and imaginative, while Sherlock Holmes is Selfless, Confident, and he is also imaginative like Dupin, but he does not let that imagination interfere with is work. Even though Dupin and Sherlock Holmes both have merit with imagination, Sherlocks ability to not let his imagination interfere with his work and his selflessness makes him a better detective, even though he may not always get his case right.
Arthur Conan Doyle’s legacy rests heavily on one Victorian creation: the character of Sherlock Holmes. Holmes's attitude of intelligence and originality continues to keep fans inclined and fascinated ever since the Victorian era. Holmes persists as remakes and reincarnations of the Sherlock character keep the mastermind relevant. While the modernization of Sherlock creates a personal connection between the reader and Sherlock in “A Scandal in Belgravia,” the BBC adaptation dilutes Sherlock’s character from a distinguished genius to a mere detective.

Long winded description and complex vocabulary are infused into Doyle’s writing to accentuate Holmes’s great intelligence. By incorporating such a heavy, educated tone upon the mysteries, the tales of Sherlock Holmes are expressed as very complicated stories that challenge readers in comprehension as well as encourage curiosity through puzzling cases.
The title of my book is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is written by J.K. Rowling. I really liked this book. This book is a fiction book. That of course means it’s not true.
The main character in the story is Sherlock Holmes; he is the hero of the book, a very important factor in a mystery book. The Victorians would have loved this character because he was not a part of the police force; he was a character that could be relied on, when the police force was so corrupt. Holmes’s life was his job, as the reader gets further into the story; they see that Holmes works for personal satisfaction, ’my profession is its own

While the men in the story where playing Sherlock Holmes looking for evidence that Mrs. Wright killed her husband, they missed the bad fruit and the bread left out of the bow, a quilt that was not finished and had a few bad stiches, an unclean table and a birdcage that was empty. They were so determined to find specific clues of the murder, that they missed the clues of the emotional abuse that Mrs. Wright was subjected to from her husband. They were also so busy criticizing everything that Mrs. Wright did or did not do, that they missed everything that was right in front of their eyes. They even slipped with some sexist remarks Mr. Hale says ‘Well, women are used to worrying over trifles’, not realizing that the women were in the room.
