In my opinion, Sherlock Holmes positively made the wrong decision. From the story The Mystery of the stolen Jewel, I thing Sherlock Holmes did the wrong thing to let Custack and Ryder go. Sherlock Holmes had to choose between making Custack and Ryder go to jail or if they could go back into the world. If he let them go then he would be breaking the law and maybe go to jail. Well knowing he had broken the law he let them go.
In the first place, Ms. Custack helped with the robbery of the Jewel. Ms. Custack was a maid of a Countess. Custack told Ryder were the Jewel was. Then she let the keys laying around. She should have been more careful with Countess’s belongings. Now Countess cannot trust her or maybe another maid that she might need.
In the second place, they planned it all. They just had to plan it because they did a crime on crime. They broke the law and should go to jail. If other people have to go to jail then they should too. They may even commit another crime in the future. They could go out and steal something else. They may even hurt someone. It may have been the season of forgiveness, but that doesn’t change the fact that they broke the law. …show more content…

A plumber is in the apartment checking the pipes. When the plumber was checking the pipes Ryder snuck in and stole the carbuncle. A carbuncle is a jewel, the jewel that Rider stole. When the Countess came back the carbuncle was gone. So she supposed that the plumber was that one that stole the jewel. Plus the plumber had a bad record from his past so he was arrested. Thankfully they let him go if they hadn’t his family may have fallen and have struggled to live on. This was a crime on crime. So two crimes, these people should be found and brought to jail as soon as possible, and stay there for

    301 Words  | 1 Pages

    Mrs. Diana Dogge is guilty for stealing Mr. Weimaraner’s diamonds.The diamonds were said to have been located at the center of the table, however a closer inspection of the scene proves otherwise. When the picture of the scene is reviewed, it is evident that Mrs. Dogge’s seat, seat a, is located closest to the platter of diamonds. Since the platter of diamonds is actually closer to her seat, it would be an effortless task for her to quickly swipe the diamonds and get back into the house without the others noticing. To add on, the platter of diamonds may have truly been at the center of the table and Dogge could have pulled the platter closer to her and snatched the diamonds, leaving the platter of diamonds closest to her seat. Also, when Wilbur

  • Women In Voltaire's Cunegonde

    As, she relies on men completely and requires someone to come or attempt to save her. She lives by the stereotype and obeys whoever she belongs to at the time. She accepts her position in society better than Candide. She knows that she is a woman in the 18th century and has few options if she wants to survive. She does not ask any questions or make any philosophies, as the men in the story do. Her acceptance of her sexual slavery shows her beliefs and understandings of the few options she has. In the 1800’s women essentially had two options for a “good” life; marry a wealthy man; become a mistress of a powerful man and sometimes both. Cunegonde gets the option to differ from the stereotype, but she chooses not to. She had to decide between being faithful to her love; Candide, or a life with the governor. The Governor guaranteed her a “comfortable” life, but she will be sexually exploited and will have to follow his orders. To add on to this the old woman, her companion. Another woman accustomed to the stereotype, said: “You have it in your power to be the wife of the greatest nobleman in South America, who has a splendid mustache. Are you in the position in which you can flaunt the luxury of unflinching loyalty? You were raped by the Bulgars; a Jew and an Inquisitor have enjoyed your favors. Misfortunes bestow certain rights.

  • Sherlock Holmes: Honor And Honor

    The word honor parallels words like loyal and respect. War heroes and judges are associated with being honorable. A man who considers himself to be extremely antisocial and lacking a conscience does not mirror these traits. However, Sherlock Holmes’ ability to solve the most baffling crimes brings justice to many who would otherwise get away with their crimes. Just as war heroes sometimes give their lives for a greater cause like keeping their countrymen safe, Sherlock sacrifices himself to save others. Trust, fighting for justice, and self-sacrifice are all characteristics associated with honor, too. Sherlock Holmes is an honorable man in Sherlock, despite what most of the other characters think and say about him.

    “The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes,” states Sherlock Holmes (Doyle, The Hound of the Baskervilles loc 1238). According to TV Tropes, mystery is a genre of fiction where the plot revolves a mysterious happening that acts as the driving question. With any given problem there is a solution; however, and the question is “how does one come about to that solution”? Extremely high intelligence level, keen observation, creative imagination and sensitivity to details are just some of the qualities that Holmes possesses. In the process of solving mysteries, there is always a borderline between mere guessing, a coincidence, and a scientific approach that Holmes calls deductive reasoning. In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1902 novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Dr. Mortimer seeks advice from Holmes as he explains the curse that has been plaguing the Baskerville family. With the power of deduction, Holmes realizes that Mr. Stapleton is actually a Baskerville descendant and has been planning to get rid of the other members of the family to claim the family fortune. Conan Doyle tells the reader what their mind is capable of doing by incorporating Holmes through his novels as he uses observation, deduction and knowledge in solving his cases. One important key that makes him different from most people is that he sees everything that people often neglect to pay attention to. A remarkable proof which shows that Holmes holds an extraordinary analytical mind and is uniquely capable of solving a mystery through his great sensitivity to minute details and the ability to draw connections from it was shown as he observes and deduces information from the letter received by Sir Henry Baskerville the moment he arrived...
