Formal Essay: Compare and Contrast Spade and Marlowe
When you first read or watch something dealing with detectives, as an observer, you must
always pay attention to the actions of the characters. The characters are what makes detective
stories mysterious, because each character is looked upon as a suspect and for the detective to
figure out a solution, he must study everyone 's actions, changes in their mood and character and
once a detective has found something that leads him to his culprit, he would have solved his
investigation. From this the detective is given the “whodunit” phase, where he is led with clues
that can help him solve his investigation. Two

John Paul Athanasourelis 's says that Raymond Chandler’s character learns to identify his flaws
and also identify the flaws in others. (Luhr, vol. 45 pg 299). Just like Spade, it took a while for
Marlowe to grow into a role model, because when the characters were first made, they were not
looked upon as anything special.
You can also see this in Dashiell Hammett 's Sam Spade stories. What each author is
portraying is that, detectives, are people who go through a lot in their life like other people and
the same why that the deal with the situations, is the same why they deal with others, this is what
makes them unique problem solving, they don’t go by the book but they figure things out by
what they know from their own lives. But most readers who have read detective stories, say that
Marlowe is one of the most interesting detectives, and just from his stories alone, Chandler
makes him a model for other detective stories like Sam Spade. (Luhr, vol. 45 pg 299).
Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe are detectives who show skills of experienced crime
fighters like well knowed detectives. Reading the two Sam Spade stories, what they have in
common with The Big Sleep is the control of dialogue, and what I mean from this is that Spade
and Marlowe use stern tones to make their points heard. What Chandler and Hammer did with
these these two detective
The detective agency will be able to provide us with the right people and the right information for the right price. People who are looking for vital information that needs answers to solve the cases that are probably abandoned or left with no answers.
The Ethos of The Real CSI lies in the inclusion of credible expert testimony. The audience is given a first-hand account of what real CSI entails from a lead detective
Marlowe is depicted as a “modern day” knight. Marlowe does not take advantage of Carmen Sternwood. He tries to find the truth, even when he is not getting paid. He is dedicated to his job and is not corrupt. The greenhouse is also a symbol in the novel.
Investigators can find clues from a murder through a number of different ways. Typically they find out how many times
The biggest ordeal is in televisions shows it will also show the wrong way to process a scene and what the real questions and layout that must be done.

Mis-en-scene shows Viven matching Marlowe in wit and power. You're not very tall are you?' represents the higher standing' in society as a woman in late war America.
So for an example, the investigator can say, this is a murder, the person was stabbed, and the motive was this person was caught having an affair. After the investigator comes up with his hypotheses he/she will then test it, if the evidence does not support his/her theory then he would start over on figuring out what, why and how it all occurred.
Each character portrayed in The Big Sleep By Raymond Chandler plays an important role in discovering the potential answers to the themes depicted throughout the novel. The Characterization of Phillip Marlowe, Carmen Sternwood, Vivian Reagan and General Sternwood allows the reader to understand who these characters are, if they changed as a result of events that occurred though out the book and how they work together to answer the developed themes of the book.

Marlowe is a private detective who is hired by the wealthy Sternwood family.
As the Homicide Detective, I must approach the scene cautiously, scan the entire area thoroughly using all senses, assess the scene and be aware of people and
Comparing the fictitious Sherlock Holmes to the mid-20th century retelling the famous Christie serial murders, there is a shift on how evidence is collected and impacts a criminal investigation. Sherlock Holmes, although not apart of commissioned law enforcement, is very generalized in investigation. His minute level of training in the criminal justice field, demonstrated that the best detectives are not found within any state institution in the 19th century. In the eyes of the reader, any citizen could be a detective with little training if you were smart enough. He not only examines background information, but collects evidence, interprets it, and takes justice into his own hands. With little help from Watson, Sherlock Holmes epitomizes the
CSI show has had an effect on the viewers. Criminals also watch this programme which can obtain ideas on how to cover up their tracks in crime scenes. Currently, investigators examine crime scenes more intricately for new kind of evidence, which is creating problems with tracking and storing evidence, so that even as the criminals leave few traces of themselves behind, a backlog of cold-case evidence is building up. Furthermore, CSI not only provides viewers with entertainment but also be leading them to have certain expectations about criminal cases and the administration of justice. CSI's are shown doing the work that about four different people do in real life, and that this has resulted in many university students coming into his criminal justice classes to train for jobs that don't actually exist. On the other hand, CSI influences the younger audience to seek a criminal justice career. However, CSI programmes are shown doing the work that about four different people do in real life, and that this has resulted in many university students coming into his criminal justice classes to train for jobs that don't actually
The strong imbalances between Raleigh and Marlowe, makes them even more comparable but only, when you can truly spot their magnificent similarities. Both born in England despite how close they were, had completely different lives growing up. Raleigh coming from a family of four brothers differs a lot more than from a family of nine. It was a much calmer environment for Raleigh as his four brothers were all younger than him. As for Marlowe growing was like a hen for chickens, crowded and obnoxious. Yet despite the differences in their families, in the long run they come together as writers. Raleigh ends up marrying a women secretly and is tossed in the Tower of London where he later dies, Marlowe was killed in a brawl, so both were obviously not killed by natural causes but by the decisions they decided to make. They were so close that Raleigh interrupts one of Marlowe’s most famous poems “The Nymph’s reply”. Despite the altering differences between these educated writers, in the future life, both shall find out their true passion for writing. Having been from the same time period, though exhibiting completely different backgrounds, both writers acknowledged each other by connecting through their passion for writing.
One thing that distinguishes Sherlock Holmes from mundane Scotland Yard officers is his insightful means to resolve cases—deduction. Deduction has been the efficacious shot of antibiotics straightly transported to the nub of complication throughout the stories. Starting with the illustrious quote Sherlock said to his loyal colleague Watson, “I see it, I deduce it” (Doyle, p.2), the detective tended to look through the eyes of criminals and use logic to formulate rational ratiocinations. This unique style of investigation was
In a traditional detective story, there is a crime that is committed and a detective comes and solves the crime. As the reader, they follow beside the detective and take in everything the detective learns. The reader is then able to guess the killer due to the clues that were collected by the detective. In the end the
To begin, detectives need evidence to piece together a crime, but determining what is evidence and what's not is the most difficult part of solving a case. There is a method, however, for figuring out whether a clue may be used in the case or not. This method is part of Holmes method, the scientific method, where the investigation follows the process of: observing, speculating, deducting and making inferences about the crime. During the step of observing, every detail is taken in, even the most irrelevant details, which allow the investigators to make sure that they have all the information needed to solve their case. Next comes the hardest part, a clump of the last three steps, involving the process of analyzing every single detail a case has, speculating its place in the case and deducting the information if it doesn’t fit to the speculated case. Eventually, those logical speculations that fit the case are formed into inferences, which are used to investigate the case
