Rachel Mizic FAS-102 | SNHU In this essay I will be comparing two well-known paintings‚ who’s styles were both born of the French Revolution: Resting Girl (Marie-Louise O’Murphy)/Reclining Girl by François Boucher (1751) and Grande Odalisque by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Resting Girl (Marie-Louise O’Murphy) (1751) by François Boucher‚ also called Reclining Girl or Blonde Odalisque‚ depicts 14-year-old Marie-Louise O’Murphy de Boisfaily in a sensuous pose.

It is my belief that although Poe’s Dupin‚ in The Purloined Letter‚ and Hammet’s Spade‚ in The Maltese Falcon both have very unique qualities‚ they both share very similar moral codes. These codes of morality‚ they would like to believe‚ have no bearing on the world or society around them. They both follow their own moral standards and do not follow what is expected of them. As Spade repeatedly suggests that honesty and loyalty are not what he is concerned about. As it occurs in both cases‚ Dupin

Of all of Poe’s stories of ratiocination (or detective stories)‚ "The Purloined Letter" is considered his finest. This is partially due to the fact that there are no gothic elements‚ such as the gruesome descriptions of dead bodies‚ as there was in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue."

Finally

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box may have strong characters but that is not the main focus of the story. Sherlock Holmes stories are about the mysteries. Most of the characters in Sherlock’s

A commonly quoted aphorism states that actions speak louder than words. Who is to say that actions and words do not have equal value? In many detective stories‚ spanning from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous Sherlock Holmes‚ to Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone‚ the detective weighs each witness’s actions and words equally and compare these two sets of information to see if the witness’s actions align with their account of events. Of course‚ the detective must possess keen observational skills in order
