Essay about Sherlock Holmes: Which TV Show Represents the Really Story?

The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book.

Many of the visual differences that stood out the most were things that happened outside. Some of the outside differences I noticed was about Dr.Roylott’s house, in the story it was made of stone but in the movie it had been made of bricks. Another change that occurred outside was in the very beginning of the story when a kid was being chased by a blacksmith but in the beginning of the story Dr.Watson was talking about how incredible and amazing Sherlock Holmes was. Some of the visual differences were inside. Like how there wasn’t a bird in the story but there was in the movie. Another example is how in the movie Sherlock and Dr.Watson didn’t talk as long about the leash but they took quite a bit in the story. Taking up a good

Just like the detectives, readers need to know the clues that are found so they can come up with their own ideas about the mysteries. If the clues are made available it allows the readers to get themselves involved with the investigations and helps them solve the mystery on their own. It allows the readers to have the same opportunity as the detectives to solve the mystery.

can either end up fulfilling his dream to live happily ever after with her girlfriend or never successfully finish this last scene. Generally speaking, the consecutive shifting of viewing between the big screen and the small window produces a contrast between people on screen and the two characters inside window. Size difference directly facilitates the contrast because when we shift our eyes from screen to window, the view suddenly becomes narrow and restrained which helps the audience understand the nervous and shy emotional experience Sherlock is going through.

In the book Watson went by himself to Laura Lyons house then got Holmes and went back to her house though in the movie Watson went only once and he was accompanied by Holmes. This is a minor difference that did not affect the storyline at all I think the reason for cutting this scene out was for time reasons. I believe that this was a very opportune time to cut a scene out because the first visit had no

The Watsons go to Birmingham was an amazing book and movie, but I personally think that the novel was better. The novel is better because it has more character depth, it shows theme better, and you can get your own understanding. The movie lacked many things including character depth.

There are a various of ways that the movie The Watsons Go to Birmingham differs from the book. One way the movie differs from the book is in the plot events. Momma gets just as excited as the kids get when Dad brings home a record player in the Brown Bomber. She also gets very excited when he turns on a song that is associated with her memory. Another way that the movie differs from the book is in the resolution. Joey knows about the bombing and tries to comfort Kenny, who thought that Joey was killed during the bombing. He is very relieved and happy to see his sister alive. These are just two of the ways the movie differs from the book in The Watsons Go To Birmingham.

differences. Some of those are the details, characters, and the plot. There were also lots of

Leave it to Beaver was one of the most popular television series of the 1950’s where June Cleaver was the personification of a traditional wife. The show depicts a traditional family where Ward Cleaver, the father, with his wife June raise their two sons: Wally and Beaver. You giggle at the antics of their two boys as they grow up during an innocent time with problems that would seem laughable today. In the Leave it to Beaver series episodes “Teacher Comes to Dinner” and ”Teacher’s Pet” you see June take on the feminine gender role and Ward take on the masculine gender role (“Teacher Comes to Dinner” ”Teacher’s Pet”). Upon deeper analysis of both episodes you observe June gaily take on the traditional role of caretaking the family yet

There are many similarities and differences between the movie and book versions of The Watsons Go To Birmingham. They help make the two worth reading and watching; nothing is left too predictable.

In “A Scandal in Bohemia” by Arthur Conan Doyle, Irene Adler, a strong and intelligent actress, accuses Sherlock Holmes and The King of Bohemia with serious charges. Sherlock Holmes is a man who loathes being a part of society and keeps to himself. He is a well known detective with intelligent skills to solve the impossible cases.The King of Bohemia is Holmes client, and former lover of Irene Adler. In an attempt to recover a photograph, which is crucial to The King of Bohemia’s reputation, Sherlock Holmes as well as him are both charged with stalking and attempted robbery. In addition to this, as the London law enforcement officer, I would also deduce charges of possession and the

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

Not only does Sherlock use proofs, he uses indirect proofs. As Sherlock says, "It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" which we call an indirect proof (The Speckled Band 164). The Silver Blaze has an excellent example, Sherlock deducts “that he must have gone to King's Pyland or to Mapleton. He is not at King's Pyland, therefore he is at Mapleton” (Silver Blaze 291). In the long run, the proofs and inferences just back up my conclusion that Sherlock’s reasoning skills are

In the excerp from the novel The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, Nicholas Meyer’s reveals the true nature of the characters detective Sherlock Holmes and the psychologist Sigmund Freud. Although, both of the characters shared similarities and differences in their professional methods that they used in their career, the two characters were both monumental figures that changed the human history through their brilliance in work.

There was a scene of Watson going to Holmes’s tent in the mountains. In the book, Dr. Mortimer was not with Watson nonetheless in the movie both Dr. Mortimer and Watson went to Holmes’s tent. This difference was not a conflicting problem because in the movie Dr. Mortimer was just left alone going through the tent when Watson and Holmes were talking a ways away from the tent. Even though this was a difference from the book the dialogue between Holmes and Watson was the exact same as the book.
