The Lake Monster Mystery Free Press FREE THE LAKE MONSTER MYSTERY PDF Shannon Gilligan | 44 pages | 30 Mar 2009 | Dragonlark | 9781933390604 | English | United States The Lake Monster Mystery (Choose Your Own Adventure) – Park Street Books & Toys Velma Dinkley is a fictional character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. She is seen as the "brains" of the group. Throughout her various incarnations, Velma is usually portrayed as a highly intelligent young woman with highly specific interests in science which in the Scooby and Scrappy-Doo series leads her to pursue a career as a NASA research scientist or merely being very well read on obscure fields, such as Viking writing as in the third Scooby-Doo series The Scooby-Doo Show. In Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-DooVelma is described by her younger sister Madelyn as being "born with a mystery book in her hand". Consequently, Velma is usually the one to figure out the mystery, sometimes with the help of Fred and Daphne. Like Sherlock Holmes and many other fictional detectives, she often keeps her conclusions secret till the end of the story. She is also the only gang member who is not above pulling supernatural hoaxes herself, albeit for noble purposes: in Scooby-Doo! I can't see without my glasses! Velma is the most skeptical of the four human members of Mystery Inc. This is particularly evident in the movies Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Islandin which she discounts ghosts and zombies real within the context of the franchise that could not be unmasked by claiming they must be hallucinations. Her The Lake Monster Mystery is used to move the story along by offering Scooby-Doo a dog treat called a " Scooby Snack " as a bribe. She displays a strong, take-charge personality when needed, sharply ordering Shaggy to "march! Like all of the Scooby-Doo kids, later The Lake Monster Mystery as Mystery Incorporated members, Velma has differing personal backgrounds and histories depending on which series one is referring to. In the film Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monsterit is revealed that her middle name is Daisy. During the first season of the series Scooby-Doo! Mystery IncorporatedVelma is in a romantic relationship with Shaggy, much to the distaste of Scooby-Doo. Their relationship ends in "Howl of the Fright Hound" season 1, episode She is shown as secretive in this incarnation of the series trying to change Shaggy's behavior while they were together. In the second and final season of Mystery Incorporated, Velma is shown by secretly working for the series' overarching villain, Mr. E, alongside one of the unmasked villains from season one, another teenager named Marcie "Hot Dog Water" FleachVelma's former rival in science fairs. The two become friends after Velma returns to the gang, and at the series finale after the reset of reality, Velma and Marcie are teammates at the Tri-state Olympiad of Science. The Lake Monster Mystery relationship with Marcie in the series finale was intended to be written as romantic, with her previous relationship with Shaggy, in contrast, as uncomfortable and unsuccessful. The screenwriter of the Scooby-Doo film James Gunn also stated that Velma was written as a lesbian in early drafts of the script [9] in accordance with the movie's original intent as a deconstruction of the Scooby-Doo canon Shaggy was also intended to be a stonerand Fred a gangster. Velma has been voiced by multiple actresses. From toMarla Frumkin provided her voice. Ward voiced Velma in a Johnny The Lake Monster Mystery crossover episode. Velma was voiced by Ariana Greenblatt as a child and Gina Rodriguez as a teenager in the animated film Scoob! In the and live-action movies, Velma is played by Linda Cardelliniwho then voiced her for the Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed video game and Robot Chicken. In the live stage performance Scooby-Doo!

  • Three Postmodern Detectives Teetering on the Brink of Madness
    FACULTY OF EDUCATION AND BUSINESS STUDIES Department of Humanities Three Postmodern Detectives Teetering on the Brink of Madness in Paul Auster´s New York Trilogy A Comparison of the Detectives from a Postmodernist and an Autobiographical Perspective Björn Sondén 2020 Student thesis, Bachelor degree, 15 HE English(literature) Supervisor: Iulian Cananau Examiner: Marko Modiano Abstract • As the title suggests, this essay is a postmodern and autobiographical analysis of the three detectives in Paul Auster´s widely acclaimed 1987 novel The New York Trilogy. The focus of this study is centred on a comparison between the three detectives, but also on tracking when and why the detectives devolve into madness. Moreover, it links their descent into madness to the postmodern condition. In postmodernity with its’ incredulity toward Metanarratives’ lives are shaped by chance rather than by causality. In addition, the traditional reliable tools of analysis and reason widely associated with the well-known literary detectives in the era of enlightenment, such as Sherlock Holmes or Dupin, are of little use. All of this is also aggravated by an unforgiving and painful never- ending postmodern present that leaves the detectives with little chance to catch their breath, recover their balance or sanity while being overwhelmed by their disruptive postmodern objects. Consequently, the three detectives are essentially all humiliated and stripped bare of their professional and personal identities with catastrophic results. Hence, if the three detectives start out with a reasonable confidence in their own abilities, their investigations lead them with no exceptions to a point where they are unable to distinguish reality from their postmodern paranoia and madness.

  • Detective Fiction
    KS3 DETECTIVE FICTION Name: ______________________________________ Teacher:_____________________________________ S. Rogerson DETECTIVE FICTION In Victorian times, populations in urban centres rose dramatically as the Industrial Revolution reached a climax, especially in factory and manufacturing industries – creating an expanding working class. The influx of workers from the rural areas of Britain put a large strain on the infrastructure in cities such as London and Manchester, and working class neighbourhoods became overcrowded and unsanitary. This rise in population, and failing crops in rural areas, contributed to a rise in poverty and crime. In London at this time, there was no established police force. Bow Street Runners could be hired to investigate crimes; however, their prices were very high and so only used by the upper classes. In response to the rise in crime, and rising panic among the general public, the Metropolitan Police Force were established. Unlike the police force we know today, these officers were prone to corruption. Their salary was paid on commission and based on the number of cases they solved. Therefore, police officers were unlikely to spend many hours on a case, and more likely to jump to conclusions, or dismiss petty crimes for those that came with a reward. Frustrations over the inefficacy of the police fuelled the popularity of fictional detectives – such as Sherlock Holmes - who distanced themselves from the official police force and sought justice before anything else.
