I thought that the mystery would be solved like this : Sherlock would escape Duke Balthasar and go back to the town that the train stopped at to rest, and telegram Amyus Crowe where they, then Amyus Crowe would come to the town and Sherlock would tell him about Duke Balthasar’s plan, after talking with Sherlock Amyus Crowe would probably alert the government of the United States a s well as alerting other countries about it. Then the United States would probably send people to Canada to defend it and ambush Balthasar’s army, then after defeating his army they would probably capture Duke Balthasar, Booth, and the other people that worked for Duke Balthasar. But I was wrong as the United states was planning on bombing Balthasar’s army, instead of ambushing them, and in the end because Sherlock didn’t want them to kill all those innocent people he destroyed Balthasar’s hot air balloons, so they wouldn’t be able to go to…
Sherlock was not guilty due to the fact he did not know that Dr. Roylott would be bit by a snake; swamp adder. In the story, “The Adventures of the Speckled Band,” Dr. Roylott was murdered by his snake the he had trained over a period of time. Audience may believe that Sherlock was guilty and many think that he was not. In Sherlock’s offense, he did not mean to kill Dr. Roylott; meaning that the murder of Dr. Roylott was not premeditated. Also, Sherlock was self-defending himself. Sherlock did not want to die and he also had to protect the lives of two other people because it was his job. Helen had to hire Sherlock to protect her from her peculiar husband. Another reason in which that Sherlock should not be guilty is Sherlock did not know that Dr. Roylott was sitting in the chair next to the ventilator. Sherlock was certain that Dr. Roylott killed Julia and wanted to murder Helen due to money concerns.…

The readers are relieved of such a thought when the old bookseller visits Watson to sell books, but then reveals to be Holmes in disguise. Then, Holmes tells Watson that he faked his death and then went into hiding until the police have arrested Moriarty’s gang. By wearing a disguise and keeping a low profile, Holmes fooled the world and even Watson into believing he was dead. This use of disguises Holmes once again deceived the world and fed society false news of how Lestrade apprehended the last member of Moriarty’s gang. Holmes states that his involvement in the case is to be a secret, which leaves society still deeming Holmes dead. The people do not know that Lestrade did not arrest Moriarty’s last gang member, and that Holmes is…
In Conclusion, I think all of these facts are enough evidence to prove my statement of Sherlock. So the three main reason why Sherlock Holmes did the wrong thing are. First of all, Sherlock let the thieves go after committing a crime. Seconded of all, He blamed the innocent plumber who had a family to look after. 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…
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…

Imagine stuffing a carbuncle down a striped goose and a few days later someone else takes the same goose with the same stripe on the back! Both a stole the goose and the jewel. Will the other person go to jail? Or will you get arrested and go to jail? Will the detective set them free? Yes! Sherlock Holmes sets both free! But for stealing a jewel and a goose? In my opinion, Sherlock Holmes positively made the wrong decision by letting Ryder and Catharine free. That means, Sherlock Holmes also broke the law! Sherlock should have never let them go, because no one never knows if Ryder and Catharine will commit another crime or not. If Ryder and Catharine do commit a crime again, then the siblings might do something ever bigger than before!…
Surrounded by different scenery, each actor used distinct yet sometimes similar gestures as well as facial expressions and props to display their own interpretation on the soliloquy To be or not to be, crafted by William Shakespeare. Each actor, through his performance, was able to further reveal insight into the meaning behind each phrase and words placed in the text. While some actors played Hamlet as a suicidal man, others made him seem optimistic. Some even had the combination of the two. Although every actor was different in demeanor and voice, they all embodied Hamlets overarching confusion and outrage, staying true to the core of the text.…
H. Holmes. He was first put on trial for insurance fraud but was later put on trial for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel. Holmes demanded to defend himself, but eventually failed and hired two attorneys for the case. The prosecution was noted as having a well put together and thorough. The prosecution was victorious (The Lineup). After the trials, Holmes was famously quoted as saying the haunting line, “I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than a poet can help the inspiration to sing” (History). The judge sentenced Holmes to death by hang. Before his death, Chicago newspapers bribed Holmes to tell his whole story. Holmes confessed he killed up to 27 people in Chicago, but is believed to be responsible for up to 200 due to the missing persons list and the investigation of the castle. On May 7, 1896 H. H. Holmes was hanged at Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia.…

In today’s world, people have found different ways of dealing with their problem. For example, one of the ways they have dealt with problems is by turning to both alcohol and drugs. Some people even look out suicide as a way out. The main reasons why people turn to a substance like drugs and alcohol is because they feel lonely, depressed, and they try to escape reality. When a person feels depressed, the only way he or she can cure that empty gap is by filling it with drugs and alcohol. Instead of turning to a loved one, they rather be alone and deal with their pain by using drugs and alcohol. There are times when a person reacts in mixed emotions such as happiness, sadness, and even aggressiveness. These are some symptoms a person has when…
