Alicia Gao Mr. Kenneth Lui English 12 17 June 2014 The Forgotten Warmth: The Oblivious Necessities Given to Sherlock Holmes by People Around Introduction Long since the creation of the most distinguished detective Sherlock Holmes, from the publication of the first novel, “A Study in Scarlet”, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the features of Holmes and his companion Dr. John Watson, have seized many young hearts. In “The Final Problem” from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, Holmes met his destiny at the Reichenbach Falls, where the narrator states: “…deep down in that dreadful cauldron of swirling water and seething foam, will lie for all time the most dangerous criminal and the foremost champion of the law of their generation” (Doyle 755). This ending raised many protests and complaints among the readers and many begged Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to bring back their beloved detective. Throughout nineteenth and twentieth century, many actors contributed to carry this famous duo onto screen. For example, Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. John Watson are one of the attractive pair in the 1939 series.
He will think out loud in a way it feels like he reader is reading his thoughts. A great example of Sherlock thinking out loud would be "There has been murder done, and the murder was a man, he was more than six feet high, was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height, wore coarse, square-toed boots and smoked a Trichinopoly cigar." (Doyle 19) continuing through the short story Sherlock explains in great detail about the unsolved mystery. In the end it expresses his personality in different ways and contributes to the readers vision. Sherlocks words: Sherlock Holmes has a way of drawing a reader in just by the way he speaks.
Sides, Hampton: Hellhound on his Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King Jr. and the International Hunt for his Assassin: Doubleday: New York, NY: 2010. The novel Hellhound on his Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King Jr. and the International Hunt for his Assassin by Hampton Sides is a well written piece of work because of Sides’s ability to bring together the stories of two men, and dramatize the events leading up to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. without losing accuracy on the topic. Because Sides was about 6-years-old at the time of Mr. King’s death, his aim was to bring to the surface his perspective of an unforgettable incident that occurred in his life. Altogether, Sides has undertaken an immensely risky proposition to assemble a novel that is not only written with fluency and style, but one that is put into a context so the reader will understand the timeline of events clearly. Undoubtedly, Hampton Sides wrote this novel to inform the reader of the stalking and killing of Martin Luther King Jr. in a way that takes you step by step through the processes of the characters before, during, and after the event.
Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep introduced readers to Phillip Marlowe, a character whose tough guy persona was an early basis for the "dark detective" archetype that to this day remains a fixture in fiction. His colorful, convincing, and descriptive writing style gives his readers a confident grasp on the character of Marlowe. Chandler’s unique process of stealing unrelated short stories and mashing them up into his own remixed version leaves the reader with unresolved questions and loose ends. Complex and heavily intertwined, the plot folds back in on itself more than once in the duration of the novel and sometimes even collapses. The book is classified as a crime novel or murder mystery, but while plots in those genres are traditionally resolved by the final page, certain components of The Big Sleep never add up.
With using this technique it makes it hard for the reader to have any idea about what the end of the story is going to be like. In 'The Speckled Band' Conan-Doyle uses a more common technique and has his story revolving around the detective, Sherlock Holmes. I am guessing that writers quite often
In 1892, he published the book “Finger Prints”, and it contained the first statistical proof supporting the uniqueness of his method of identification. 2. Who is known as “The Father of Forensic Toxicology” and why? A Spaniard named Mathieu Orfila is considered to be the “father of forensic toxicology” because in 1814, he published the first treatise on detection of poisons, and their effects on animals, thus establishing forensic toxicology as a legitimate scientific endeavor. 3. Name two major contributors of forensic science made by Hand Gross?
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was written by Robert Louis Stevenson who was born in (1850 – 1894). The story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was written in 1886, it was partly written as a gothic horror story, other Gothic horror stories written near the same time were “Frankenstein” and “Dracula”. It’s also fits the detective genre because there is a character (Mr Utterson) who is a lawyer but his role in the novel is as a detective trying to find the link between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He was writing in the Victorian times and during them times the Victorians really cared about their reputation and they were scared of being alone on the streets because there was not enough police men around so they didn’t feel safe on the streets. He also sets his novels based in London; Stevenson also wrote children books such as “Kidnapped” and “Treasure Island”.
In 1833 Vidocq created Le Bureau des Renseignements (Office of Information), which combined private police and private investigation into what is considered the first private detective agency. Interestingly, most of the agents were ex-criminals. As head of the unit, Vidocq is often recognized as the first private detective in history. Vidocq is credited with introducing undercover work, ballistics and criminology. He made the first plaster shoe cast impressions and created indelible ink and unalterable bond paper.
Pupil's work © Crown copyright 2011 Teaching and Learning Resources p.2 tlr.nationalstrategies.dcsf.gov.uk A pupil's answer on: How does Arthur Conan Doyle create a gripping mystery in 'The Adventures of the speckled Band' The pupil has written:'The Adventures of the speckled Band'written by Scottish writer named Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the most popular Sherlock holmes stories ever wrote.

A few years later Conan Doyle that out of the 56 books he had created 'The Adventures of the speckled Band'was his favourite.It is for this reasonI wanted to find out what made this story such a good mystery. The reason I believe detective fiction was very popular and especially sherlock holmes, in the nineteenth century was because the police was very corrupt and many of the cities including London was big on crime. Beggars, Prostitutes and drugs was very common in the cities in this era.
Kirsten Ward Mr. O’Connell 3rd hour Honors English 21 August 2012 Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Summer Reading Project Quotes: “Such is the tale, my sons, of the coming of the hound which is said to have plagued the family so sorely since. If I have set it down it is because that which is clearly known hath less terror than that which is but hinted at and guessed. Nor can it be denied that many of the family have been unhappy in their deaths, which have been sudden, bloody, and mysterious.” Pg. 17 This quote is important because it is taken from the document detailing the legend of “the hounds of Baskerville”. It sets up the story and makes the setting easier to picture and the terror of the heirs fearing they’re next more real, easier to feel their emotion.
