Dr. Watson

Throughout the story, readers see Watson doing some investigating without much luck. However, when Holmes shows back up it is like all the little thing that Watson is looking over is starting to make since. When readers first learn of Ronald Adair’s murder, Watson notices a bullet lodged in his head, but that is about the only clues the readers get to see besides a pile of money laid upon a table. As soon as Holmes shows up though these little clues start to piece together. After the capture of Colonel Moran and his air-gun Holmes says, “…I knew of the existence of this remarkable gun, and I knew also that one of the best shots in the world would be behind it” (Doyle, 1994, p. 246). At first the clues look pointless, but Holmes shows the reader how Moran is using them in his attacks. Even though the clues did little to nothing to help the reader in solving the crime themselves, Doyle did provide clues for the reader that sparked the uncertainty of the

Although this may be true, Holmes investigates what sparks his interest, with his exceptional analyzing and deductive reasoning. He is actually very well known for it, especially with Dr. Mortimer (Doyle, 9).Whereas, Drew often jumps to conclusion, caused by when she overlooks the little things that may prove to be of interest. “‘There must be some clue I’ve [Nancy] overlooked,’”(Keene, 61). Yet, Drew has this amazing ability for quick-thinking. On the other hand, Holmes has a huge ego and acts like every spectacular thing he does is obvious and elementary (Doyle, 45)., Wwhile Drew is very humble and helpful, “I[Nancy] don’t want a reward, really I don’t … She’d [Mrs. Topham] never offer a reward. Even if she did, I wouldn’t accept it”(Keene, 141). That is, to say nothing of her huge heart and how compassionate and dedicated she is towards others. Nancy Drew risked her life many times for nearly-complete strangers and saved their lives (Keene, 62). In contrast, Holmes is arrogant, ignorant, and has an unhealthy habit of smoking. In the same way, Drew has an irregular habit of constantly talking to herself. Meanwhile, both detectives are very clumsy, careless, and

Sherlock Holmes is a well-known detective, deeply in which royalty has asked for his assistance in retrieving a photograph from Irene Adler. He is known for the excellence use of skills in solving crimes, of astute logical reasoning and of disguise. Holmes work has consistently involved

Sherlock Holmes’s intelligence is demonstrated in both “The Red-Headed League” and “A Scandal in Bohemia”. During “A Scandal in Bohemia” he first demonstrates his intuitive thinking by figuring out that Count Kramm, the man introducing him on the case, is actually the King of Bohemia himself. This shows that he is able to make a quick determination about people’s lives just by having a brief conversation with them. This allows Holmes to solve mysteries that others cannot by simply looking at a suspect or location associated with the scenario. He uses this ability later in the story to find where the incriminating photo of the king with Adler is. He does this by creating a situation for himself where he will be able to get into Adler’s home. He then fakes a fire to see where Adler goes first so he can see where she keeps her most valuable possession, the photo. Holmes states “When a woman thinks that her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing which she values the most… Now it was clear to me that our lady of to-day had nothing in the house more precious to her then what we are questing for” (Doyle 19). This line of thinking shows that Holmes knows how to get people to inadvertently give him the information that he needs by putting them in the right situation and observing what they do. This skill

“The Adventure of the Speckled Band” Essay The story, “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle provided a mysterious atmosphere to those who have read it. The story took place in April of 1883 in the home of Helen Stoner and Dr.Roylott, Stoke Moran. Helen Stoner visited detective Sherlock Holmes and his comrade Dr.Watson with a case of the unexplained death of Helen Stoner’s sister, Julia Stoner.

This excerpt alone can describe the relationship between the detective and his partner, separating Holmes from Watson by interpreting how he observes and infers upon the scene of the crime versus Watson, who is intelligent nonetheless but not as keen as Holmes in identifying such specific details. In terms of this discussion, it can be assumed that Doyle may have intended to use this dialogue to play out the scene in a dynamic way to show the difference between the two. Here, Holmes carries most of the conversation while Watson listens and struggles to follow Holmes’s complicated thinking. Another factor to consider is how Holmes asks Watson many rhetorical questions. This aspect of their interactions compares their sense of understanding as well, suggesting that Holmes has a habit of asking these questions to explain his observations to Watson.

Cynthia Saltzman, a former Forbes and Wall Street Journal reporter, investigates the history of the famous Vincent van Gogh’s work Portrait of Dr. Gachet by telling a century-long story of this single masterpiece's journey. Instead of focusing on the van Gogh’s background and the painting itself, Saltzman meticulously provides a case study of how the modern art market developed and how the forces of money, politics and taste can ensure that genius will out. From 1890 to 1990, the painting was taken from van Gogh's easel and valued as “an obscure object worth at most a few hundred francs” at beginning. It then was hung in private homes and world-famous museums, and traveled to Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and New York with 13 different owners.

He pulled up his computer, quickly searching up the said disorder. John was surprised to see there was actually a lot more to it than what he knew, and the more he found out about the symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome, the alternate name for “high functioning autism”, the more he began to agree. From a ‘lack of correct social skills’ to ‘obsession over a certain object or information’, Sherlock Holmes appeared to have high functioning

Coulson, 2004). Sherlock is a part of the upper class while Watson is seen as a middle class citizen while he is respected but he isn't on the same level as Holmes. He is also respected for his work as a doctor and is known for being hard working. Sherlock is portrayed as a troubled but brilliant detective who is often troubled and socially awkward with people. He also deals with psychological noise with the fact that he sees everything he call it both a gift and a curse at the same time. Holmes and Watson both have different degrees of perceived self and presenting self. In Watson case his is more concerned with his presenting self than Sherlock is (C. M. Shaw& R. Edwards, 1997).

The homicide scene introduces Holmes's incredible reasoning processes. In a search to figure out the answer to a death, the local detectives call in Holmes. The man, who had a boarding pass for a flight that crashed the day before, appears suspiciously dead in the trunk of a car. Within thirty seconds of investigation, Holmes's observations lead him to over four conclusions. As Holmes searches through the contents found on the dead man's body, the point of view is placed directly through Sherlock's eyes. His eyes focus on intricate

Another factor to consider is how Holmes questions Watson despite already knowing the answer. This curious habit in their interactions may also elevate the status Holmes imposes on the text and to the readers by differentiating/comparing their sense of understanding.
