Was Sherlock Holmes The Right Choice Or The Wrong Choice?
Sherlock Holmes

Imagine, somebody has stolen a jewel called a carbuncle that belongs to a countess. Sherlock Holmes is an investigator trying to find the person that has stolen the carbuncle. Ryder a hotel guy tells Sherlock that Horner a plumber, has stolen the carbuncle. Horner says that he’s innocence, but nobody believes him. Ryder explained everything of how the jewel went into the goose and Holmes let them go. Was it the right choice or the wrong choice? In the first place, Sherlock Holmes in my opinion made the wrong choice of letting him go free. Ryder framed Horner by telling Sherlock that he did it and Horner was innocence but nobody believed him. Horner made a crime in the past. Ryder was the thief along he planned the crime before he did the crime. …show more content…
But if somebody is stealing something that belongs to somebody self they are hurting them also, and that is just plain cruel. Stealing a jewel is like stealing a million dollars. Ryder stole a jewel that belonged to a countess, the countess forgave. Stealing is very bad, stealing can get you into an monstrous amount of trouble and you are going to have to make the consequences for it. Yeah, Sherlock Holmes gave him a second chance but he can do another bad thing again in the future.

In the third place, when Holmes sent Ryder free, Holmes broke the law. Once someone breaks the law they need to go to jail for it. Holmes is a investigator, he is supposed to be doing the right thing. Holmes had to think of what he was supposed to do, and he let the ruler breaker go because he stole a jewel that belonged to a countess. Would anyone forgive a person that stole something from

    Shay's Rebellion: The Making Of An Agrarian Insurrection

    The book, Shays' Rebellion: The Making of an Agrarian Insurrection, is a historical account that provides an interesting perspective on the accounts of many struggling men, earning wages in the agricultural force, who were driven to form a rebellion against the government and the court system, because of a crisis of debt and credit that struck after the Revolutionary War in the years from1786 to 1787. The text as a whole provides a good analysis on the subject at hand and achieves its goal to the reader. The source would be helpful to those who already have an understanding about this period in history; however, because of the lack of a decent timeline, for those who are new to Shay’s Rebellion, the book may be hard to follow. There is good evidence provided in the text to support his ideas, and from my knowledge on the subject I agree with these ideas. Author Szatmary, takes the stance that Shay’s Rebellion was an ironic, three-stage occurrence that just so happened to be one of the crucial factors leading to the formation of the United States Constitution.…

But when asked what the motive was during the interview, the chief did not go into details and instead answered “we are not speculating on motive”. Again, no one able to shed some light here. Whatever the motive may be, the suspect was sentenced to life in prison.…

Third of all, Doing something and getting away with it could make you do it again since you got away with it. So I believe Sherlock Holmes did the wrong…

    Hh Holmes Impact On Society

    Holmes was so determined to get as much money as possible that he built a hotel during the World’s Columbian Exposition. He was a very intelligent for doing this because he built his hotel fairly close to the exposition knowing that people would want to stay at his hotel because it was only a short walk from the hotel to the fair. Holmes’s hotel was to say unappealing to the eye but it was him that caught the attentions of tourists. He used his hotel to flirt with women, to get with them, then to make promises to them that would make them want to stay with him and give him everything they own. After Holmes would achieve this, he would then trick them and pull them into one of his hotel traps.…

    Sherlock Holmes: Modern Day Hero

    for the good of humanity or just the good of one's loved ones every hero has a cause. Sherlock Holmes seems like an obvious hero but he doesn't really care about saving or protecting people. It seems the only thing Sherlock cares about is working and solving the cases because it is fun for him to have a challenge. But Sherlock does seem to have an internal struggle whether to fight for good or to prove his intelligence according to the author of (sherlock character confessions by Raven Simmons). “Sherlock seems to be divided by the urge to defeat Moriarty because he is a criminal and it would simply be the right thing to do r to defeat Moriarty simply to win a challenge made against his intelligence; basically, as a battle of wits”. So it seems that there may be some kind of good conscience inside of this man. Even though he is a kind of strange man that keeps to himself he does try to help others though it may seem he has selfish reasons for helping. I believe that he is a true hero when you hear someone talk about the great Sherlock Holmes you think of a mysterious british man with quick wits that fights crime for good. He is an iconic hero in british literature that everyone…

    Should Sherlock Holmes Break Criminal Justice

    In the first place, Sherlock Holmes should have thrown Ryder in jail, because stealing is stealing and a crime is a crime. If someone breaks the law, then someone should suffer the consequences whether they will like to face the consequences or not. Since Sherlock Holmes set them free, that means Sherlock Holmes also broke the law! For an example, an officer or a detective would put someone in jail for murdering someone, so that means that Sherlock should have also put someone in jail for being a theft. I think Sherlock and Ryder should both go to jail for committing an illegal crime.…

    Importance of Weather Throughout Sherlock Holmes

    In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories of Detective Sherlock Holmes, the city of London itself is an important character and has a very active role. The city interferes constantly with the story and places itself dominantly in the novels. It is important to note how the city of London is represented and what kind of role it plays in the tales of Detective Holmes. Looking into how the city not only seems to create its own crime, but how Holmes uses the city to solve its own wrongs is a crucial element behind Doyle’s creation. Understanding dynamic relationship between the thriving port city of London as well as the dark, foggy, and mysterious London is how Sherlock Holmes solves his crimes. By recognizing the vital role the city of London itself plays in the stories, a true comprehension of why Arthur Conan Doyle chose to make London the home base for the world’s most famous detective is evident.…

    Overall, H. H. Holmes was one of the most dangerous and deranged men in history, being “born with the devil in him,” as he believed. Although only being convicted for one murder, Holmes confessed to killing up to 27 people and is believed to have killed up to 200. Holmes’ life story with the murder castle, his crimes and capture, and trial definitely captures his insanity throughout his…
