Hello, here is the report of the book; this book is named “Sherlock Holmes Stories” and it was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The stories are about a famous detective who is British and his good friend named Watson, who wrote what happened in each adventure in the book.
Summary:
The stories that I chose for this report are “The man with the twisted lip” and “The final problem”. The first story talk about the disappearing of a man named Mr. Sinclair, who his wife paid to Sherlock Holmes found him, Watson joined with Holmes due to the fact that the wife of another man paid to him search his husband that was disappeared in a opium house. Returning to the real case, Mrs. Sinclair told to Holmes and Watson that she saw for last time his husband in his room, but she was sure of seeing him jumping the window of a room. After days of searching him, the police noticed to Mrs. Sinclair that they had caught a beggar, the possibly murder of Mr. Sinclair, then Holmes and Watson went to the jail to know something about Mr. Sinclair, but when Sherlock see the beggar, instantaneously he clean the face of the beggar and all was surprising because the beggar was really Mr. Sinclair. Then the case was resolved, Mr. Sinclair had been working as a beggar since he was a boy, but he was afraid of that his wife would find him in his job as a beggar, this is the reason that explain why the wife seemed to see him in the window, he scared at her and jumped.
The second story talk about the last time that Watson talked with Holmes, because Sherlock was in an important case: chase professor Moriarty. He was (according to Holmes), the best and the final case in his life, because he had been late it a lot of time in showing that Moriarty was the responsible of the crimes that had committed. Watson was worried about Holmes, he hadn’t seen Holmes very stress in that case. The final of the story leaves it to the mind of the reader, since the following day, Holmes leaves a letter to his friend Watson, saying to him that he should say to the police that in certain place there are the proofs that blame Moriarty and if he (Watson) is reading the letter now, in this moment the case is resolved and for consequence his life had ended.
Only is mentioned that maybe Holmes and Moriarty could have a discussion and they fell down to the waterfall and anyone could find his bodies.
Analysis:
When I read the Stories of Sherlock Holmes, it started pleasing me in the way of how the cases were giving themselves and were solved thanks to a interesting character, not only is smart, there are a special characteristic in Sherlock Holmes, he dedicate all his time to resolve a case for helping people, and is cool because he was created due to the epoch of the writter.
He isn’t like the TV programs, that shows rare cases where appear people that investigates with high technology (I don’t say that these programs are bad, also I like it), but Sherlock Homes always was alone and sometime at Watson’s company, with whom he formed a good friendship.
Conclusion:
This book was very interesting, I learned a little more some words in English and is a good idea read books like this because it helped me to be relaxing a bit.
