    These are the stories of heroes and villains, manipulation and deceit, and sex and betrayal. As the second largest subgenre of detective fiction, the private investigator welcomes readers to peer into a world of crime and violence. Unlike the glitz and glam of the amateur detective where murders appear neatly wrapped and topped with bows at the doorsteps of wealthy countryside estates, the acts that take place in the “private eye” genre are ones committed with brutal and unrelenting violence in the alleyways and side streets of a city suffering from a pandemic of corruption.…

    Hi Lena, I have been following the Dr. Kitty story since the first police reports were released. Although I view the examples you presented as evidence of the author interjecting their opinion within their story, I found it scarce. I interpreted the use of unfortunate patient as a means to communicate that the patient was dealing with consequences they may not have been entirely aware of. It is not clear in the article whether the patient understood that Dr. Kitty was unlicensed.…

    After reading this story, many children could imagine what life would be like if someone like a [hyper] cat came into their life, the story stimulated imagination. I conducted several interviews with fellow Dr. Seuss readers-- when this writer interviewed with fellow Dr. Seuss readers she stated that, “without reading Dr. Seuss as a child, I probably wouldn’t even have an imagination” (E. Falk, personal communication, April 23, 2015). This demonstrates the impact Dr. Seuss has had on us all these years. Also, Theodor Geisel wrote this book as a response to a Life Magazine article stating that “parents have cried in dismay that their children could not read…spell…[or] write clearly enough to read their own” writing (1954, Hershey, p. 136). Children were suffering from illiteracy which affected their learning and future life skills; without knowing how to read or write they would not be able to find a job or even pass school.…

    Deadly Sins of a Heartbeat and a Cat People always think of murder being something that happens out in the open, and isn’t planned but that is not always the case. It always happens that they think that murder is a justification of getting revenge or picking someone at random, but that too is also wrong. Murder doesn’t have to be planned and it doesn’t need to be out in the open to be considered a crime. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat”, Edgar Allan Poe describes this case very well.…

    Just like the world we live in today, detective fiction is a male dominated genre. Detectives are usually white males who solve dangerous crimes such as murder. If women are involved, they are usually characterized as damsels in distress or femme fatales. It is a man’s world; therefore, it is the sole responsibility of men to be the protectors. For centuries, we have lived in a patriarchal society and this mindset has influenced this genre significantly.…

    “Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different” -Stephen King. I find that the movie paints a perfect picture well, on the other hand, reading the book you have to let your imagination take over and create images in your head of what might the scene look like. “ The cat in the hat” was a well-written book by celebrated children’s book author Dr. Seuss, originally published in 1957 and a well-developed movie directed by Bo Welch, after reading the book and watching the movie I found the movie much more entertaining than just reading the book.…
