Summer Homework Reading A Study in Scarlet by Sir Author Conan Doyle this summer was quite enjoyable because I learned so much more about the character Sherlock Holmes. Before reading this book, I assumed that Holes was a pretty smart guy. After all, he is known for solving mysteries that no one else can. However, I totally underestimated his intelligence. In the book, Holmes is a fast thinker and comes to quick conclusions in just seconds based on his observations. An example is when Holmes first meets Watson and is quickly able to tell that he had been in Afghanistan. I knew that Holes was smart, but I didn’t know that he was that smart. I also thought that Holes worked alone, which he mostly does. Though, in the book Holmes started to solve mysteries with his new roommate Dr. Watson, whom I didn’t even knew existed before reading this book. For …show more content…
In the show, the character of Sherlock Holmes is a bit different that the one in the book. Despite the setting being in a more modern time period, there were still a few differences in the two characters that I was able to spot. The biggest difference is the fact that in the book, we sometimes see Holmes depressed and moody. In the show, Holmes does get a bit moody, but it’s always excitement that we see and in the one episode that I watched – Season 1 episode 1- we don’t see Holmes get depressed or anything. In the show, Holmes gets really excited when he finds out that there was a murderer behind all of the reported suicides, and he gets even more excited when he finds out that there was a fourth murder. The point is that in the show, Holmes seems like he gets more of a rush or adrenaline from solving mysteries. I really like both characters, but my favorite would have to be Sherlock Holmes from A Study in Scarlet. In the book Holmes has more of an interesting and wide personality filled with a lot more characteristics and
Sherlock Holmes is a work of art, he cannot be copied. Holmes is always very serious as he needs to get his job done. In The Hound Of the Baskervilles, Holmes interrogates Dr. Mortimer, one of his clients, “And you, a trained man of science believe it to be supernatural?” (Doyle 31). Also, Holmes is very deliberate in the way he thinks. He is able to see a small detail and process it into his method almost immediately. Lastly, Holmes is always a detective and is certain he will
The representations of Holmes in the BBC and CBS series are solid. Nonetheless, they have their drawbacks. The Miller-Homes at times let’s his overconfidence get the best of him. Due to him boasting to Watson that he was able to bypass her phone’s passcode; because
Let us begin with Holmes. Holmes lived in Chicago and owned a pharmacy. He had medical training and loved money and women (Larson 36-37). He was able to smooth talk and gave people a sense of happiness. Holmes could convince people of anything, which he used as a way to sell stories as to why the people he killed had just disappeared. He also used this in constructing his building/hotel. He barely paid a dime because he convinced workers that their job was unsatisfactory (Larson 67). The furniture companies would come looking for H. S. Campbell, the alias he used as the owner of the building, and he would tell them he was out on business (Larson 71-72). A man named Belknap, the uncle of one of Holmes’s three wives, described him as “warm and ingratiating, but also telegraph that some important element of humanness is missing”. For a long time this was known as “moral insanity” and later the term psychopath was used (Larson 87-88). Holmes himself was intrigued by Jack the Ripper (Larson 70).

Your task is to read actively with the goal of compiling a thorough record of passages from the two texts you have been assigned which relate to specific themes/motifs provided to you by me. You will also provide accurate citation information along with some analysis of how the passage relates/treats its corresponding theme/motif. Your goal is to provide insight not simply to state the obvious. I have provided a sample which models the type of response I expect to receive from you. This is due on the FIRST DAY OF CLASS (both in hard copy form and submitted to turnitin.com) and will serve as an invaluable aide in our class discussions as well as in the composition of your first paper.

Not everybody is into crime shows, but we all admit to love Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is a most depicted character in fictitious and movie history. Supposing that we have both the movie version and the graphic novel version of Sherlock Holmes, we would clearly notice some differences and similarities between them. Those variances never disturb the ending of the story, but they may show less power and control to the story. Whereas movie version of Sherlock homes and book version of Sherlock homes are different as movie version of Sherlock Holmes was clearly seen as a smoker with a very rude nature, while in the graphic novel he barely smoked and that he had a respectful, understanding mind.
Now many of Holmes' emotions are related, though not limited, to his competitive nature. He wants to solve every case, and he will stay up all night if need be in order to solve a case. When he was competing with Moriarty, we saw a vulnerable side of Holmes. In
Watson is a good partner for Holmes because even though he is not as intellegent as Holmes, he still has a great mind of a detective and he is able to think through problems and situations in a more logical way. This balances out with Holmes who has a more crazy and ridiculous, wild ideas. Watson keeps Holmes confined.
When someone mentions the occupation of detective, a single image usually comes to mind, a man wearing a cape and deerstalker, holding a magnifying glass and smoking a pipe. This entire image can be contributed to one character: Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is considered by many to be the greatest detective to ever exist, even if he only exists in the pages of books and on movie and television screens. It is impossible to escape the influence of Holmes. Countless references are made to him in all types of media and he is used as an inspiration to may more fictional characters we have all grown to love. The cultural impact of Sherlock Holmes has spread to more than just fiction; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
