Book Report



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.

BOOK REPORT

Sherlock HOLMES


Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was born at Picardy Place, Edinburgh, British writer, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, who is the best-known detective in literature, this book is about crime stories, where Sherlock is the detective, mistery and fail are the main characteristics.


The three Stories I chose are my favorite because has a lot of fail and mistery things, and They Are, Silver Blaze, The Final Problem and the Empty house, where the main characters are the detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and trainee Dr. Watson, The principal Holmes' enemy Professor Moriarty, all is situated in Lndon, XIX century, principaly in the Baker Street where Holmes lived.

The crimes that Holmes was solving in this three chapters are, a horse robe, and an assasination, and in the second chapter the adventure in the capture or Moriarty, in Rainchenbarch falls.

The first story, Silver Blaze is about a robe of ahorse and the death of the horses's trainor, Silver Balaze was a racehorse, who is stoled, and it's propierty is a Colonel. The case is very amazing because in all the chapter you think the murder probably is Simpson, the youth who the police thoght is the responsible, or maybe you can think the muurder is the Colonel, perhaps, but at final the only true is that the trainor wanted money to pay his creditors, and he took the horse to another place to stake another horse and win some money, this was a very interesting case i like it so much, but i think that this storie can be mare amazing if Sherlock get wrong or something like that because is true that he is the best detective, but it is some strange that in a few seconds he solved this case. The second is The Final Problem; my favourite chapter, because in this Sherlock got into real problems, his life is endangered, his enemy wanted his death, and for a moment you thought is the Holmes' final, I mean this story is about The adventure in Raichenbarch falls, Holmes and Watson went there, first because Holmes was some strange and a little afraid, a very strange attitude to Holmes, so he moved from Londonto Switzerland I remember, but at first he ordered Watson send the suitcases to Paris, with this Professor Moriarty would be confused; but as Sherloch said Moriarty was the principal brain of the European crime, and he had a lot of allies in all Europe; so a man told Holmes and Watson that they must go to the falls, and they did that, but here was Moriarty, and Sherlock fought with him and both fell down the falls. With this and Watson's words i really thought Holmes was death, but in fact i thought too, that was the best final to Holmez, I mean after years of crmes cases, solved, and with London more pacific and a better place, the think that Holmes needed to be alegend was that, His death and the Moriarty's death, with this Holmes' mision was complete.

The last storie, The Empty house, was a very strange chapter, i don't know, i was very amazing and i was very excited by the last chapter, and i really didn't know what would happen in the next chapter, but i thought that would be a chapter about other adventures before the Holmes' death, but instead of that this Chapter was about the "Holmes' resurection", At first the story bagan with other criminal case, the death of Ronald Adair, and Watson was trying to remember Holmes' methods to solve this case, but in the middle he discovered that Holmes was alive. Holmes narrated him how did he scape from the death, a very incredible story, but Holmes was very clever, so, he put a wax sattue of him in his apartment in Baker street to confuse hid enemies principaly the Moriarty's allies, and guess what the person who tried yo kill Holmes in his apartment with a rifle, was the same who killed Adair, a very expedient final.
As The conclusion. I can say that i enjoy a lot this first part of the book, it has a lot of adventures, unwaited situations, crime cases, mistery, and the "gentlemode" of Holmes, I had't read a real version of Holmes yet, until this book, and I have to say that I like it a lot. There is only one thing that I didn't like, and it was the fact that Holmes seemed idestructible, but well this was a novelty in Doyle's age, but in general I Found it excellent in this first part.
