Holmes Is Made Possible By Watson. Sherlock Holmes is one of the most popular characters in literature. I read the three stories; ‘The Speckled Band,’ ‘The Engineer’s Thumb’ and ‘The Beryl Coronet.’ I have looked at; how the stories were structured, Dr Watson as the narrator, language used in the stories and the difference between Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes as characters in the stories. Most crime fiction stories are structured in the same way. Sherlock Holmes stories usually employ

With regards to the recent tragic murder of our good detectives Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson that I, Julius Calvin Peterson the Third, am so deeply saddened to hear about; I have been investigating this case for the past few days, and have come to a conclusion that I am sure many of you can see as the truth. My proposition is that, due to the compelling evidence against him, I am almost completely certain, that it was William Kovacs, whom is responsible for the death of our beloved detectives
“The Adventure of the Speckled Band” Sherlock Holmes used his observations skills to come to the conclusion that Dr. Roylott was attempting to kill his daughters with a foreign snake, the swamp adder in “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Through the intense investigation of the rooms in Stoke Moran he was able to observe even more clues. Additionally, Sir Arthur
Garcia-Marquez's “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” Symbolism is often used to subtlely enhance a story’s meaning by adding emphasis and details to the story line. However, Garcia-Marquez, in “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”, cloaks his tale for children in a dreamlike quality conveyed purely through symbolism. Clues to his intended meaning can be drawn from the old winged man whom the story revolves around, from the metamorphous of the family who take him in, and from outsiders’ reaction
way to power. Bruce Gilley is the author of the first western full-length study of the Chinese leader. Historians, political scientists, and journalists hungry for reliable information about Chinese politics have to rely on official publications, and on the semiofficial and nonofficial accounts that bubble up in Hong Kong. These are the same methods of tracking and analyzing China's political movements that outsiders have used for decades. It is in this Byzantine context that Bruce Gilley has written
season. So it's an atmosphere that baseball lovers can relate to. Bruce Pearson is a young third string catcher with the Mammoths. He's an unsophisticated country boy from a small town in Georgia who is completely out of place in a big city like New York. He has no friends on the team and his team mates only pay attention to him when they make fun of him. He has an abundance of raw talent, but he doesn't make a contribution. Bruce is the focus of the book because he is dying; well, we're all dying

ELODIN STRODE INTO THE lecture hall almost an hour late. His clothes were covered in grass stains, and there were dried leaves tangled in his hair. He was grinning. Today there were only six of us waiting for him. Jarret hadn’t shown up for the last two classes. Given the scathing comments he’d made before disappearing, I doubted he’d be coming back. “Now!” Elodin shouted without preamble. “Tell me things!” This was his newest way to waste our time. At the beginning of every lecture he demanded
Bruce Dawe is strongly opposed to consumerism, as shown through his poem, Americanized. The poem is written in a predominantly bitter and ironic tone. The title itself is ironic. Bruce Dawe is Australian and has spelled the title using American spelling rather than Australian spelling, with the ‘s’ being replaced by a ‘z’. Stanza one is set in the morning at breakfast time. It involves the mother and her child. Instead of the usual loving mother, we see a cold mother and one that is doubtful of her
to come, much more. The inaction of the governing body of Formula One sent its message out loud and clear. Clearly Senna now felt that if he could get away with "swerving", then the next step would be "shutting the door firmly". This he duly did to Nigel Mansell at the same race the following year. Mansell, having slipstreamed Senna on the pit straight, went for the inside at the following right hand corner. Senna, refusing to be passed, moved over and the ensuing contact took them both out of the

The Television Show Yes Minister The British comedy Yes Minister is a brilliant satire in which the characters are creatively manipulated to form a humorous program. It deals with the wheeling and dealing of political life behind the scenes and attempts to expose its true nature. Although the series is set within the British political scene, it deals with political games and clashes between politicians and the civil service that could be found almost anywhere in the world. Yes Minister started
Symbolism In The Veil The veil that the minister wears in "The Ministers Black Veil", by Nathanial Hawthorne represents the emphasis on man's inner reality, and those thoughts and feelings which are not immediately obvious. As Hawthorne explored this inner nature, he found the source of dignity and virtue, and certain elements of darkness. When the minister first walks out of his home wearing the veil, everyone is astonished. This one man in this village decides to be a nonconformist and wear

Ayrton Senna is the protagonist in his story, the “best” driver to ever walk the earth and best race car (Formula 1) driver to ever come across motorsport. His great skill of driving was supernatural, no one could beat him. Sadly he died on May 1, 1994 in a fatal crash which is very ironic because before the race started, Senna told his team he was wary that he was going to crash and he prayed the night before not to lose his life the next day. But he is still remembered as the best driver on the
Just imagine having teenage bullies wandering around the streets waiting to beat a young boy up. Well, that's what actor and martial artist Bruce Lee's life was like. He was an everyday victim of abuse. It was hectic and brutal for him to wander around the streets after school. However, without these bullies, he would not have become who he was. Bruce Lee was very famous for what he has achieved in America and China as an actor and martial artist even though he died very young from brain damage
After the Others by Bruce Weigl With a new century approaching, Bruce Weigl's twelfth collection of poetry, After the Others, calls us to stand on the millennium's indeterminate edge. This book, opening with the last four lines of Milton's "Paradise Lost," parallels our departure from this century with Adam's fearful exit from Eden, beyond which is "all abyss, / Eternity, whose end no eye can reach" ("Paradise Lost"). Weigl posits that we stand at the century's uncertain gate naked, cold, and

Walter Payton, a NFL running back, perhaps the greatest running back of all time because of his ability to change the momentum of the game. Bruce Lee, the greatest martial artist in the history of this sport. He changed everything. He is associated with the poem by A.E. Housman. The poem, “Young Athletes Dying Young” written by A.E. Housman gives inspiration to those who are athletes but teaches
