Sherlock Holmes 2nd part


In this time the two stories i have chosen are The Devil's foot and the Creeping Man, this two stories were my favorite because of their mysterius and the strange of the cases




The main characters are sherlock Holmes and Watson, and in each story are mister Treggenis, Mr Roundhay, and mister Sterndale.In the second story are Mister Bennet and professor Presbury.






The first sttory is about the first ocation that Sherlock was sick, after a lot of time working he felt really nervous because of his health, so he decided to take a holidays with Dr. Watson, his best friend, they went to a little town, and stay in a little house, here they found a very interesting case, the case of the the Devil's foot, the case was that a woman named Brenda had died, this was a terrible death because of the type of death, so Holmes and Watson began to investigate, while they were investigating a strange man, went until they were, this man was a kind of lion hunter, he was an african man, and he was really worried about the Brenda's death, the crime had a very interesting clues, for example the air, the fire, and the face of Brenda, that was with a scared face. by the next day , something terrible happen, Mister Treggenis died as the same form as Brenda, this was really suspicious, at first they thought tahat mister Treggenis killied Brenda and himself, so they went to Mr Treggenis' apartment and did an experiment, with this they discovereed the Evil's Foot that was a kind of drug that with the air and fire, made that the people can't breathe well, suddenly the hunter arrived and tell his story, but Holmes didn't believe his version, after that the hunter said that he and Brenda were in loved, and Mr Treggenis killed Brenda, and this was the reason that mede him killed Mr Treggenis, when Holmes Knew this version instead of arrested him, he let him in free, maybe because Holmes Knew that Mr Treggenis deserved his death.




In the second Story, The Creeping man, Holmes and Watson investigate a strange case, this happen because a dog that was a good dog began to be bad, and bit to its owner, the case was that a proffesor named Presbury began to change, this man was old he had 61 years, and at the age of 60, he fell in love and get married with the collegue'daughter, she was very young. The strange of the case wast that since his travel to Pregue he became to somebody different, his dog didn't want him, this proffesor received a letters, very strange letters, and each 9 days he became that strange man. Holmes suspected that this was a kind of drug, and was the reason that he behave like a monkey, when they went to the proffesor's appartment dicover, taht all was true, the proffesor take the drug each 9yh nigth, the reason was that this camed from a man named Lowenstein was helpin the proffesor to get younger and have a good relationship with his wife.






As a conclusion I chose this two stories because were similar, the crime was a love's reason, i like this two stories specially the first because talk of Holmes as a man that get sick, and get tired like a normal man, so Holmes in my opinion became a man in this two stories and not a superhero, that was why i chose this two incredible stories.
