Why Had He Provoked The Receptionist
It had been a usual week at 221B Baker Street for the consulting detective. Well, the norm since his best friend’s wife, Mary, had passed. Why had he provoked the receptionist? Why? If he would have kept quiet then she might of still been alive and god why did she have to step out in front of him. The bullet was meant for him not her. He should have been the one who died. She could have lived a long prosperous life raising her and John’s daughter, Rosamund. Sherlock took a long drag of the cigarette between his lips and watched as the smoke swirled through the air of the flat with his hands shaking slightly because of the drugs he used previously that day. A knock was heard at the door before a woman about the age of 70 came into what used

    An inspector calls Monolouge The inspector

    Mrs Birling creates more of a negative force around Sheila by saying, ‘It would be much better if Sheila didn’t listen to this story at all.’ I say this because she is ‘supposed to be engaged to the hero of it.’ The quote from Mrs Birling, that I have given, is followed from the quote by Sheila, which I have also provided. This shows that Sheila is being aggravated by the rest of the family as they are all suggesting she isn’t there to hear the rest of the conversation between the family, Gerald and the inspector.With close reference to the extract, show how Priestly creates mood and atmosphere for an audience.…

    Lumpers And Splitters Analysis

    He realized that the woman was walking in the rain with her collar up because it was damp and that she was carrying a small suitcase due to the splashed mud on her ankles and none of the other detectives and officers on the scene noticed these details. Another example, in the show is when Sherlock is to pick between a pill that will kill him slowly and alone or by getting shot brutally in the front of the head with a black handgun by, the cabbie, the taxi driver. Sherlock chose to be shot in the front of the head by the cabbie in cold blood because he is so hyper-specific and has such extreme perception. That he knows that the black gun isn't really a real gun with bullets but only an imitation toy version made to look like the real thing. He states, “I've seen a lot of guns in my day and I know a fake one when I see one” (Sherlock). This is proving Grandin’s theory regarding the characteristics of hyper specificity and extreme perception, as well as, showing that Sherlock is a splitter. He particularized the characteristics of a fake versus a real gun and noticed the small details that a normal person would not have noticed, but that a person with some characteristics of autism would have. A lumper would have just seen a gun and would have freaked out and wouldn't have been able to see the difference between a fake and a real…

    Arthur Birling Says: “If We Were All Responsible for Everything That Happened to Everybody We’d Had Anything to Do with, It Would Be Very Awkward Wouldn’t It?” How Does Priestley Present Ideas About Responsibility in an Inspector Calls?

    The inspector's methods of investigation are to create a tension by telling the family that "a young woman has just died at the infirmary." After this it is much easier to get information from them. Priestley tries to make the characters seem very irresponsible because he sees them as stuck up, higher-middle class folk who only care about themselves and how they look to other families.…

    Perception and Societal Factors

    One of the key elements in solving the murder mystery was due to the expected behavior of the commoner when presented to a member of the royal family. The presence of a factory supervisor in shirt sleeves while in the reception line was so out of place that it called Morse’s attention though it was only a fleeting glimpse of the supervisor. Another instance was presented when the Chief Superintendent, who until now had always been the top rung in police hierarchy, was suddenly seen as just another rung in a very long ladder when “division” warns of repercussions if the investigation side rails an ongoing missile sale to a foreign country.…

    Mrs Birling Analysis

    The general form and structure of the play enhances Mrs. Birling’s character to an extent. By placing her second last in the line of enquiry, the impact of her actions is greater on the victim than other characters. She enters amidst a dramatic pause, when Sheila is trying to examine the Inspector, ‘…I don’t understand about you...’ to which the Inspector says, ‘There’s no reason why you should’. This adds on to the audience’s curiosity making them think what’s to come.…
