The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Many people try not to make the same mistakes that their parents and grandparents did, whether it be a monetary, emotional, physical, or spiritual mistake, because their parents teach them during childhood. In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Henry doesn’t want to lose the mansion (and his life) like Sir Charles before him. People don’t want to lose their businesses or property the same way that their predecessors did before them. In And Then There Were None, everyone turns on each other in order to survive, but these characters are not good examples of normal people (as most of them have a few issues). A normal person tries to keep friendships. Descendants don’t want to break a friendship, so they learn from their parents and grandparents’ mistakes

    One can either learn from them and move on, or they can allow them to tear themselves down. Troy and Richard both had rough childhoods in which they endorsed things that no child should have to. However This does not makes them weak. Troy learned this a little faster than Richard, and it made Troy become the man he is today. Strong Willed, opinionated, and hard working. Richard also let his experiences crafting him although he did become numb after many of the tragedies had happened to him. Richard generated a strong sense of morals, and a stronger tolerance to share his tragic event which Troy had barely talked about. Although a person cannot control what things happen to them they can control how they shape…

    The relationship between Tod and Copper was like the relationship between black and white kids in the 1970s. Whilst their parents would be against it, they see no harm in playing with each other. People are expected to conform to their roles they have in society. I chose this particular movie because not only is it a classic, but it is a very deep movie with adult themes. The mix of characters, each different and pursuing a different goal, combined with as subtle mix of themes, makes this a winner. The Fox and the Hound is about society and the roles we are expected to conform to.…

    The Hound of the Baskervilles was a very good page turner book. It had many clues to help you get a closer idea of who the real criminal was. As I kept on reading, the facts were getting clearer by the second and as different events past in the book I just wanted to keep reading the book to unmask that horrifying criminal and hope that he didn’t kill his next victim who was Sir Henry Baskerville at the end. In the paragraphs below I will be describing why I think Sherlock Holmes got involved in this case in the first place, why did he send Watson to pursue the case, rather than go himself or solve it with him, and If I was surprised to discover who the actual criminal was.…

    The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle helps support the first rule of a good detective fiction in six ways. Sherlock Holmes’ observation, sarcasm, curiosity, love of tobacco, how confidently arrogant he is, and even his voice shows how he is a memorable detective. The first example is of Holmes’ observational skills. It reads, “You have presented an inch or two of it to my examination all the time that you have been talking. It would be a poor expert who could not give the date of a document within a decade or so.…

    Society perceives revenge to be a one-way street to get back at someone, where only the single person ends up getting hurt. In Great Expectations, Charles Dickens exemplifies revenge as a devious act that causes multiple people to get hurt.

The likes of Miss Havisham and Orlick are set on exacting their revenge on someone or something, no matter what the circumstances are, they will get their revenge.

    the parts of the movie that differed from the book did not make any significant changes to the story told by the author of the book. In the book, Watson travels to the gravesite alone. But, in the movie no message was sent. The book and the movie have many similarities, but there are also differences. In the book, a telegram was sent to Berrymore. and likewise in the movie, Holmes and Watson inspect a walking stick. Berrymore confesses that the escaped convict is her brother Sheldon, in the same way she did in both the movie and the book. Then, in the movie, both Watson and Holmes travel to visit Laura Lyons in search of clues, whereas in the book, Watson questions Mrs. In conclusion, the film version of Hound of the Baskervilles was very similar to the book, but there were some differences. Finally, Stapleton was announced dead in the Grimpen myer , as he was in both versions of the story. One major difference in the movie that was not in the book was the starting scene of the movie was set in the moor with Sir Charles being attacked by the Hound. In the book the starting scene was when Watson and Holmes had just found a walking stick that had the initials C.C.H. on it. I think that the movie starting scene was more informative because it let you know about what was happening and it also gave some more suspense to the film.…
