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

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
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

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 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
“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. Sherlock Holmes was able to make conclusions from the background that Helen Stoner informed him of. 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
Discuss the portrayal of the character of John Diamond in the play A Lump in My Throat’As part of our English As part of our English course work we have been looking at post 1914 drama.

Mulan as the Woman Warrior Many movies have gotten their theme or content from books and novels. One of them being the story of Mulan, which originates from the story of a Chinese girl who grows into a women warrior. In my reading of " The Woman Warrior", there is a tale of a warrior who has the name Fa Mu Lan. The mother tells the story of Fa Mu Lan to her children , one child stating " Instantly, I remembered that as a child, I had followed my mother about the house, the two
Violent acts in literature function as more than just physical action in that they often tell the audience something. For example, the motives and desires of the perpetrator are generally revealed during the fight. Truly great works use these violent acts to indicate a theme. One such example is “Sunshine” by Lynn Freed. In this short story, Julian de Jong, a man whose wealth allows him to evade punishment for raping children, finds a young girl in a pile of leaves. This man tames the girl with the

Both Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver are well recognized TV chefs, however they both use spoken language in very different ways, whilst interacting with their audience. For example Nigella’s language is more sophisticated and formal whereas Jamie’s language is more casual and informal. Whilst there are many clear and visual differences between each of these chefs, there are also many similarities. They both share a lifestyle of being a chef and enjoying a higher-class lifestyle. We readers can observe

There has never been a clear consensus on the meaning of Thatcherism and it has been used to describe a vast array of ideas. Nigel Lawson, who claims to have invented the term, describes it as ‘a mixture of free markets, financial discipline, firm control over public expenditure, tax cuts, nationalism, ‘Victorian values’…, privatisation and a dash of populism’. Broadly, it can be
