The St. Clair’s are an example of having a marriage but only be honest to one another to a certain extent and have a lack of communication. “Only one man knew my secret” (72), explains Mr. Neville st Clair to Holmes, describing his double life he has without his wife and kids knowing. Not being honest with his secret life, leads Mr. Neville st Clair to have bad communication with his wife. Lack of communication can hurt the spouse very badly and can cause a strain on the marriage. Although Mr. Neville goes to jail for his secret life, it is more of the children’s thoughts about him that he cares for more rather than his wife’s thoughts. “It was not the wife, it was the children” (72) says Mr. Neville. One can assume that his marriage is not at its best anymore and yet his is just dealing with his wife from here rather than loving her and respecting her thoughts and feelings about any secrets he may have. Marriages are hard work but Mr. Neville must have some type of love if he still chooses to be with his
Sherlock Homes solved the mystery through the use of logic and facts rather than using fantasy or fictional thoughts. He took advantage of the clues by observing them closely, which lead him to the criminal(s). Sherlock explained the process of the murder persuasively, however, in the end, the murderer revealed himself and thoroughly explained how he attempted the murder hence Sherlock did not solve the mystery by himself. He was able to solve most of the case, but at the end crime was revealed by the
Billy was startled by what the landlady has just said. The words of the elderly sent chills down Billy’s spine.
Holmes started school at the age of six, but this was not an easy experience for him. Constantly bullied by the older kids who were jealous of his great intelligence, Holmes began to shy away from many people. He came to feel worthless and that he did not belong because of the combination of violence at home and harassment at school. One day, his bullies made him touch a real skeleton his school owned. Scared at first, Holmes finally gave in to the bullies. He recalled feeling very fascinated as his hand was caressing the skeleton. This spark in Holmes led to the fire that was going to explode inside of him in the years to come. Having this close contact with a dead body is a foreshadow to the murders he would commit later in his life.
A man from the East comes to a western mining town. At the request of a friend, the narrator speaks with Simon Wheeler in order to ask after a man named Leonidas W. Smiley. Instead of giving the narrator the information that he asks for, Wheeler launches into a tall tale about a man named Jim Smiley. The story goes something like this: Jim Smiley was a man who would bet on anything. He turned a frog into a pet and bet a stranger that his frog, Dan’l Webster, could jump higher than any other frog. While Smiley wasn't looking, the stranger filled Dan’l Webster with quail shot, and Smiley lost the bet. Before he could figure out what happened, the stranger disappeared with the $40 he won by cheating. Sick of the long-winded tale about Jim Smiley
Sherlock Holmes of 221B Baker Street had lived alone for quite some time. The girl who lived in the basement had stopped coming home from America, his flatmate had married and moved to the countryside, and dear Mrs. Hudson had died a short time later. Her funeral was the last time Sherlock had seen John Watson, and neither had made any attempt to reconnect. Their days of detective work were far behind them now.
Arrived on site at approximately 6:40am. Skeele, Duck, Doyle, and Pirl were already on site upon my arrival. As I exited my vehicle, Maxwell, and Pruett arrived. I headed for the break room where I left a bottle of Pedialyte to drink before our morning PT. Today, we were going to do strength training indoors. Promptly at 7:15, Captain Fogarty entered the hallway and the class stood in attention. Frazier was absent. We began with jumping jacks, then went into pushups as per the usual. During our strength training, Captain Fogarty informed us that we would be running sprints outside. This made for a welcomed change to our usual workout. Captain Fogarty droves the course in his golf cart before having us run it. Everyone was paired up with people
The sheriff and his wife, Mrs. Gorman, as well as Martha Hale and her husband, had all rode over to the Wrights place, to investigate, the death, - or was this murder? - of Mrs. Wright's husband. When the subject was brought up, it did not seem as if the death of Mr. Wright, even fazed his wife. When Mr. Hale, walked into their house, and asked to see John Wright, Mrs. Wright “laughed” and said no, “‘Cause he’s dead,” as she continued pleating her apron, not getting the least bit excited. The man went on to further investigate as the woman began to look around and talk. They started talking about the way, Mrs. Hale wished she had come to see Minnie (Foster) right, “‘ I could’ve come...I wish I had come over sometimes when she was here. I wish- I had.’” (Glaspell, 677) , although she had reason for not wanting to come, “‘ It never seemed a very cheerful place.’” (Glaspell, 672). This was the way the Wrights lived, and that was that. But was there something more to it? With the murder of Mr. John Wright, and the reactions of Mrs. Minnie Wright are very contradicting. In a marriage, two people are supposed to love one another, but after finding all the clues to the investigation, it lead to question whether Minnie actually loved her husband or
Jimmy Carroll was an amazing musician a beautiful poet and of course the big thing a one time high school basketball star, he sounds like he is at the top of the world there is just one problem he is a heroin addict who is slowly destroying his life. When the movie first starts we already see that there is some sort of drug use between Jim and his friends.
He took a sip of water to rid his torrid throat and began to speak. “Love I am sorry, about everything. You clean this house and make our dinners. You watch our son and most of all you support me any time I need it. You did not deserve the cruel things I said to you. I am truly sorry.” Mary Ann felt something ping at her heart, she almost wanted to forgive him but Henry did not stop there. “I know you must of have felt alone and scared when I pushed you away but you know how I am with work. The other officers will mock me for having a wild wife and-”
Moriarty is also occasionally mentioned in five different stories, but he does not make a direct appearance in any of them. This rather oblique and vague portrayal of Holmes’ arch rival has resulted in a plethora of theories concerning the real identity of Moriarty. In this paper we shall return to one of them, but the main goal of this essay is to examine the relationship between Holmes and Watson basing on social psychology. I will refer to some concepts of this particular branch of psychology in order to explain Watson’s lack of trustworthiness in connection with the idea of hierarchy in groups. In this paper I will also try to outline the instances in the story when Watson and his narration are deeply flawed as far as objectivity is
The medical staff was ordered to wait until they got an all clear from the police. The law enforcement personnel poured out of the stairwells into the halls and ran past Jackson sitting quietly in a chair at the nurses’ station. Colonel Patterson stopped immediately when he saw Jackson covered in blood, looking like death warmed over with a blood covered Mac-10 in his lap. He was pale, sweat soaked and the entire left side of his body was coated in blood as it dripped down his left arm and pooled on the floor underneath him. He was slumping in the chair and having a lot of trouble breathing. It was obvious he was bleeding to death and needed immediate medical attention. Jackson MacKenzie had given this situation every ounce of his strength
“You’re wrong,” he said, “There was no divorce, she passed away years ago.” Surprised that Ginger would mention divorce, Mr. Cassidy wiped his face with a dirty handkerchief. Ordering another drink, he said, “She knew it would be difficult for me to live alone in that old house without
Dust flew, and there was a six foot hole in the wall. There was a man to my surprise, it looked like agent McHaven. But just as I was about to call to him my eyes drew weary—I felt faint. I fell to the ground with a thud. The next thing I knew was that I woke up in a white bed looking straight into the dark brown eyes of agent McHaven.
While the men in the story where playing Sherlock Holmes looking for evidence that Mrs. Wright killed her husband, they missed the bad fruit and the bread left out of the bow, a quilt that was not finished and had a few bad stiches, an unclean table and a birdcage that was empty. They were so determined to find specific clues of the murder, that they missed the clues of the emotional abuse that Mrs. Wright was subjected to from her husband. They were also so busy criticizing everything that Mrs. Wright did or did not do, that they missed everything that was right in front of their eyes. They even slipped with some sexist remarks Mr. Hale says ‘Well, women are used to worrying over trifles’, not realizing that the women were in the room.
