and Mrs. Barrymore, and most importantly Stapleton. Laura Lyons is a girl who was in love with Sir Charles Baskerville and sent a letter to him on the day of his death, but conveniently she “never went” (Doyle 143) to the place of his death. When Watson asked her why, she replied “That is a private matter. I cannot tell it”(Doyle 143). Doyle continues to confuse the reader and introduces another suspect Mr. and Mrs. Barrymore. They became the second suspect when Watson caught them lurking around Baskerville Hall and shining a candle into the window. Watson asked him what he was doing and he lied to him, saying he was checking if the windows “fastened”(Doyle 114). Watson knew he was lying and he asked him to tell the truth and he replied with “it is not my secret, and I cannot tell it” (Doyle 115). Now there are a few people who have been considered suspects, but the most obvious one is Mr. Stapleton. Mr. Stapleton is a sly devil, in the very beginning appears quite odd, when he chases a butterfly towards the Grimpen Mire. Since he told Watson not to go there, then a lady rushes towards him, warning him to “go back! She said go straight back to London” (Doyle 86). Turns out that this lady was Mrs. Stapleton and she thought Watson was Sir Henry, inferring that Stapleton is up to something. Lastly, the final suspect is the hound, but is it real or a supernatural
"Black Wall Street" was the name given to Greenwood Avenue of North Tulsa, Oklahoma during the early 1900’s. Because of strict segregation, Blacks were only allowed to shop, spend, and live in a 35 square block area called the Greenwood district. The "circulation of Black dollars" only in the Black community produced a tremendously prosperous Black business district that was admired and envied by the whole country.
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
Suddenly, a low sound seems to ring through each of our ears, a moaning howl that I heard that I heard on the moor that afternoon with Stapleton. Sir Henry keeps questioning the sound and wondering what the locals say about that sound, but I try to change the subject, finally admitting that it is the howl of the Hound of the Baskervilles. As Sir Henry starts to sound very superstitious about the Hound, we spot Selden just as he seems to realize that he has been found. He took off and ran across the moor, and we chased after him we realized that he had too much of a head start. Standing on the moor, I gaze out into the distance on the moor and spot another tall figure of another man outlines against the moor. But then, a split second later, the man was gone. I am quite interested in who the tall figured man out on the moor was, and who might've been helping Selden. And why Stapleton acts so strange at times, but then covers it up and is all normal again. They are many suspects that I have thought up and a lot of mystery going on at this time Holmes, I wish you were here to investigate along with me. I will check in with you soon with much more information I
He is really a wolf in sheep’s clothing, seemingly harmless, but actually evil and bloodthirsty, stopping at nothing to achieve his goal of claiming the Baskerville fortune. In an attempt to murder Sir Charles, Stapleton pretends to be a single, lonely man, falling in love with Mrs. Laura Lyons, a friend of Sir Charles. He therefore acquires complete influence over Lyons, who is at his beck and call, and therefore lures out Sir Charles to be killed by an enormous hound, although this was completely unknown to Lyons, showing that men were seemingly hiding things from women.
First Impression: My first impression is that Republicans spent much more money on their websites than Democrats. Design: The design of Republicans website is clean (meaning, it does not contain any unnecessary information) and well organized. The navigation bar is easy to navigate; it highlights the most important topics that the party attempts to emphasize for the website visitors. For instance, there are categories on the website saying “2016 Candidates,” “Hillary Clinton,” “Our Latino Leaders,” etc.
Grimpen Mire is a place where "A false step yonder means death to man or beast" compared to 'The Signalman' which is set in the same place the whole way through the text. This leads the reader to think that the writer has created a character which is lonely and therefore might be going mad as a consequence. 'The Signalman' is a partially gothic tale which deals with strange, ghostly appearances whilst the main body of the story is being narrated by the traveller who is involved by Dickens only tell the reader the story by questioning the signalman the whole way through which is the only purpose for the traveller being there. The three main settings in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' are Baker Street which is Sherlock Holmes' place of residence, Dartmoor and Baskerville Hall whereas in 'The Signalman' the main setting is the signal box and the entrance to the tunnel.

The novel The Hound of the Baskervilles is written by a British author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1859. Following “nine years in Jesuit schools, he went to Edinburgh University, where he received a degree in medicine in 1881. He then became an eye specialist in Southsea, with a distressing lack of success” (Doyle 1).

In the first of his many stories A Study in Scarlet, Doyle brings Sherlock Holmes to life; he is a detective and the protagonist of the story. Doyle’s inspiration and idea for an observant detective came from Dr. Joseph Bell of the Edinburgh Infirmary. Dr. Bell
