Sherlock The Fan Focus Analysis

As we usually define movies that show film shooting or film showing scenarios as self-reflexive, the closing scene of Sherlock Jr, undoubtedly falls under this category. While watching this film, we see Sherlock Jr. trying to identify himself with his idol Sherlock Holmes by picturing himself as the detective in movie to achieve his imaginary identification and satisfy his desire to be as sophisticated. Sometimes we find ourselves behave, talk, or even dress like certain actor or actress because we want to be like them. Therefore, seeing Sherlock Jr. experiencing his dreamy adventure, we subconsciously identify ourselves with Sherlock in the way that we, as spectators, often take ourselves into movies as a means of fantasizing our desire or achieving our imaginary

One theme in The Watsons go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis was not built into the book numerous times, but was only a few. The theme may have only been built in a few times but the conflict to the theme had a great deal of impact on the main character. This theme is to hold on close to your family, keep a good family relationship. This theme was brought into the book by little pieces, then at the end of the book the theme was brought into the story more. This theme was shown from many perspectives, different characters felt this theme at a point in the book.

    In writing, authors use literary devices to highlight the certain aspects of life. The novel, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See, utilizes a literary device called foil. In its context, foil is when one character contrasts with another character. This comparison showcases their contradistinction in traits. It is from these traits that the characters can either help themselves or destroy themselves. The two girls, Lily and Snow Flower, are the foils in the book. Both girls are to live together in a jibe. Nevertheless, as time goes on, their relationship becomes strained. Their difference in following orders creates this strain. Whereas Snow Flower wants to go against orders, Lily does

The Glass Castle and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan contain many similar themes. For instance, they are both about young girls growing up and figuring out who they really are, the strength and perseverance required to get through hard and painful times, and the fight to fit in or stand out in society. But, through all these corresponding themes, there are many that belong to a single book. In Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Lily’s love for Snow Flower caused her to hurt her laotong, which caused pain and regret. Unkind words were said on Lily’s part towards Snow Flower and that led to her being shunned. For many years, there was minimal contact between the two old sames. After Snow Flower died, Lily tried to make it up to her. She did what

Jim Moriarty is definitely a master of the latter, leaving murders and crimes for Sherlock to solve all over London. He knows what captures Sherlock’s interest and he caters to that in order to keep his attention and focus. Jim Moriarty states in a specific scene that he had spent millions of dollars on The Great Game, all for Sherlock. He sees the man as an intellectual equal, which is quite significant to him, as he spent his life surrounded to people who he could view as goldfish due to his high level of intelligence. Jim Moriarty actively cares for Sherlock, and if he did not and simply saw Sherlock as someone in his way, then he would have just killed him.

Lisa See’s Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, was a very interesting and informative story. This book has given me more insight on how women in China were treated in the 1800’s. It is very detailed, and See did a wonderful job helping us imagine what both Lily and Snow Flower had to go through. I would feel how terrific and painful foot binding was as her words described the feeling. She really made me feel the heartbreak whenever someone would die or go through a tough time. I really enjoyed this fantastic piece of literature, and I believe that other people would enjoy the story also.

Spotlighting is the best way to create suspense in stories and short films. Spotlighting gives a more interesting twist into the story by putting the spotlighting technique creates little things to focus on in any story. Spotlighting has happened in many famous films like, in Jaws when the shark come up behind the surfer the camera zoomed into the shark creating spotlight.

One woman’s deepest desire and greatest relationship is the long lasting love of friendship in Lisa See’s Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. In nineteenth-century China, women had little to no say concerning their lives. From infancy, girls are viewed as worthless by their father, their mother, and their community. Every woman’s greatest accomplishment was her son, and her greatest failure was her daughter. Despite their inferiority, women found a few things they could call their own and give them a sense of pride. The practice of Laotong relationships, though usually practiced by the privileged, was created to bond the love of two young girls. Women were told what to do and where to go by men all of their lives but when it came to their laotong

The marketing and promotion around Sherlock both underplays and promotes the cult aspect. To explain, the creators do not necessarily welcome the fan theory of “Johnlock”. In fact, in an interview, show runner Steven Moffat said, “We’ve explicitly said this is not going to happen…” (Mckenney). From this quote it is clear that the creators of Sherlock were not going to abandon their script for the fans’ desires, no matter how much buzz “Johnlock” produced amongst fans. Nevertheless, the creators of Sherlock have embraced the cult fandom by incorporating several references from Sherlock on the BBC website. For example, there is a section called “Other Sherlock Related Websites” that has a list of websites that were referenced in the show, such as the blogs of John Watson and

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.

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).

Another factor to consider is how Holmes is written to be asking Watson even though he understands that Watson is not on the same page. This curious occurrence in the interactions between Holmes and Watson may also elevate the status Holmes imposes on the text and to the readers.

One of the most important literary features of Doyle’s works is the use of dialogue and conversations held between characters, whether it be Holmes, Watson, a victim, and so forth. It seems that
