The next set of short stories, Adventures and Memoirs, are each composed of twelve cases and some of them are most unforgettable because of the blend of absurdity and horror such as the Musgrave Ritual, Five Orange Pips, Red-Headed league and Speckled Band.

One of the things to love about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing is the collection of interesting names! He uses logical inference to come to fantastic, and fantastically accurate, conclusions. Dashiell Hammett. It is worth noting that when Holmes returned from the grave, Doyle has completely added more ambiguous layers to his personality and characterization which is why the second volume is the most enjoyable for its gray shades of morality and scope of justice and punishment. The Final Problem marks the death of Sherlock Holmes which the public vehemently protested so Doyle was forced to revive his sleuth and hence the second volume of the canon. Please try again later.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died on July 7, Looks like it's time to try those movies and tv shows and books I've been avoiding. Also included are Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling" The Adventure of the Speckled Band," the baffling riddle of "The Musgrave Ritual," and the ingeniously plotted "The Five Orange Pips," tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

I love how ACD places SH so close to being an antihero by emphasizing the fact that SH would have made a great criminal himself, had he not chosen the side of justice :D And sometimes, H imparts his own kind of justice, one that is closer to the common sense idea of a "just world" than to the law system. In Conan Doyle published 'The Final Problem' in which he killed off his famous detective so that he could turn his attention more towards historical fiction. I thought it was quite funny that Sherlock Holmes is prone to using Cocaine when his mind isn't adequately stimulated.

In those days SH's freedom of action was little bridled by the police, who depended on his astuteness to solve the most bizarre cases.

You can see his planning at work--after he's run out of plausible excuses to have Watson somehow get involved in mysteries with Holmes, he starts flashing back to the mysteries that happened before Watson got married, and when he brings Holmes back after his "death" at Reichenbacher there's just the whisper of a hint that Watson suffered a real "bereavement" as well.

Finally, Holmes gives a flourish and reveals the details of the crime. Holmes always insists that he stay around and never scorns his intelligence for a second, even if he does mock Watson's writing at times, his main problem with it being that it should be less romantic and more like "a series of lectures".

And just as it is unrealistic to expect people to remain celibate until marriage, it is just as difficult--no, almost impossible--to approach the Sherlock Holmes stories as a complete virgin.

    THE PLOT SEQUENCES OF DOYLE’S DETECTIVE FICTION: A DESCRIPTION OF THE CHOICE AND RELATION OF THE LEXICAL ITEMS Laily Martin Andalas University Introduction Plot, the ―sequence of interrelated events‖ (Foster in Pickering and Hoeper 1981:14), is a building element of literary works. This literary element assists in text reading and interpretation processes because the element shows the sequences of interrelated events that help in understanding text development. In the processes of text reading and text interpretation, plot is commonly analyzed literarily with the specific concern only to the elemental sequences of a plot. The concern to the sequences makes the plot analysis as the description of a certain construction, a text structure. Actually, plot analysis could also be conducted linguistically by analyzing certain linguistic elements and the contribution of these linguistic elements to plot description, as discussed in stylistics. Stylistic analysis has been exposed in numerous literary studies; either in prose (Stubbs 2001, Verdonk 2002:46-50), poetry (Freeman in Simpson 2004:202-210, Semino 2002, Simpson 2004), or drama (Culpeper 2001, McIntyre 2004). These studies discuss how various linguistic forms are used in relation to and discussion on literary elements. The studies provides some examples of the relationships between word choices, maxims, conversational features (like turn taking, topic control, sequences), implicature, syntactic features, paralinguistic features and character (Culpeper 2001), registers and setting (Semino 2002), (in-)direct speeches or evaluative lexis, speech acts, co-operative principle and point of view (Verdonk 2002:46-50, McIntyre 2004), clause constituent and theme (Simpson 2004:54), or deictic expression, lexical pattern, neologism and style (Freeman in Simpson 2004:202-210, Stubbs 2001, Simpson 2004:54).

The Five Orange Pips Why should Elias Openshaw, an ex-planter from the southern states of America, now living in Horsham, England, be afraid of five orange pips which arrive one day in an envelope marked KKK?

  • His Last Bow the Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
    His Last Bow Arthur Conan Doyle His Last Bow Arthur Conan Doyle The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles I find it recorded in my notebook that it was a bleak and windy day towards the end of March in the year 1892. Holmes had received a telegram while we sat at our lunch, and he had scribbled a reply. He made no remark, but the matter remained in his thoughts, for he stood in front of the fire afterwards with a thoughtful face, smoking his pipe, and casting an occasional glance at the message. Suddenly he turned upon me with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. “I suppose, Watson, we must look upon you as a man of letters,” said he. “How do you define the word ‘grotesque’?” “Strange—remarkable,” I suggested. He shook his head at my definition. “There is surely something more than that,” said he; “some underlying suggestion of the tragic and the terrible. If you cast your mind back to some of those narratives with which you have afflicted a long-suffering public, you will recognize how often the grotesque has 1 His Last Bow Arthur Conan Doyle deepened into the criminal. Think of that little affair of the red-headed men. That was grotesque enough in the outset, and yet it ended in a desperate attempt at robbery. Or, again, there was that most grotesque affair of the five orange pips, which led straight to a murderous conspiracy. The word puts me on the alert.” “Have you it there?” I asked.

  • Adventure V: the Five Orange Pips
    The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes Adventure V: The Five Orange Pips hen I glance over my notes and records of the Sherlock Hol- mes cases between the years 1882 and 1890, I am faced by so Wmany which present strange and interesting features that it is no easy matter to know which to choose and which to leave. Some, however, have already gained publicity through the papers, and others have not offered a field for those peculiar qualities which my friend pos- sessed in so high a degree, and which it is the object of these papers to illustrate. Some, too, have baffled his analytical skill, and would be, as narratives, beginnings without an ending, while others have been but partially cleared up, and have their explanations founded rather upon conjecture and surmise than on that absolute logical proof which was so dear to him. There is, however, one of these last which was so re- markable in its details and so startling in its results that I am tempted to give some account of it in spite of the fact that there are points in connection with it which never have been, and probably never will be, entirely cleared up. The year 1887 furnished us with a long series of cases of greater or less interest, of which I retain the records. Among my headings under this one twelve months I find an account of the adventure of the Paradol Chamber, of the Amateur Mendicant Society, who held a luxurious club in the lower vault of a furniture warehouse, of the facts connected with the loss of the British barque “Sophy Anderson”, of the singular ad- ventures of the Grice Patersons in the island of Uffa, and finally of the Camberwell poisoning case.

  • Identifying Speaker | H-1 Reading Plustaylor Associates COMPREHENSION SKILLS PRACTICE
    ® Identifying Speaker | H-1 Reading PlusTaylor Associates COMPREHENSION SKILLS PRACTICE All stories and novels are narratives. They are told by a narrator. There are, however, a number of options for narrative voice, also called point of view, or who that narrator is and how he or she is related to the story. A first-person narrator, or first-person narration, is when the narrator is somehow a part of the story, as an active participant. This can be easy to identify because the narrator refers to himself or herself as “I” within the story. A narrator can be a major character, like Huck Finn telling his own story in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. “You don’t know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain’t no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly.” A narrator can also be a minor character telling someone else’s story, like Dr. Watson in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. “When I glance over my notes and records of the Sherlock Holmes cases between the years ’82 and ’90, I am faced by so many which present strange and interesting features that it is no easy matter to know which to choose and which to leave” (The Five Orange Pips). Second-person narration is very rarely used. It occurs when the story is being told as the reader’s story using the second-person pronoun, “you.” In recent years, this technique has been used in various interactive or role-playing stories.
