How Did Sherlock Holmes Make Big Decisions

Improved Essays
Have you ever made a big decision that could change your life forever? Well Sherlock Holmes had to make a big decision that people could get mad at him for it, then they could decide if they want to out homes in jail or send him away, or make him never come back no matter what happens. But what made him decide to let they people go cause it was the season of forgiveness and they probably had to go to their family’s at home. Homes had to put two crimes together to find out who did it and why did they do it. In my opinion I think that Sherlock Holmes did the right thing and let these people go home to their family or siblings. In my opinion, Sherlock Holmes positively made the right thing by letting Ryder and Cusack go and not sending them to jail. Cause if Sherlock Holmes did throw Ryder and Cusack in jail then …show more content…
Yes Ryder and Cusack steal another jem from someone, but like I said they did not even to get to do nothing to it because his sister sold the goose that had the jem in it. If they did get away with the jem then yes Sherlock Holmes should have thrown them in jail because they could have sold the jem and got some money off of it, but then again they did commit a crime but they confessed and came up clean from there.
In conclusion, Sherlock Holmes ended up doing, the correct thing and letting them go because it is the “the season of forgiveness “and it was also a holiday. Holmes had to make a big decision. No one out of all the people got hurt and the plumber was framed but after a couple of days he got out and back to his family then got back to work. I think that Sherlock Holmes did do the correct thing in the end. Cause if he threw them in jail for stealing something that they didn’t even do then when they got out people would see them at

When he opened his hotel, he bought everything on credit. “He had no intention of paying his debts and was confident he could evade prosecution through guilt and charm.” Surprisingly, he managed to keep many possessions without spending any real money and didn’t have to face any furniture dealers or anyone “whom Holmes had cheated over the previous five years” for a long time. What ended up happening was that he had to face them all at once.…

    The Devil in the White City, by Erik Larson, and “It’s a Question…” by Tom Stafford both answered the universal question of whether humans are born good or bad. The Devil in the White City is about a killer’s mentality and mindset being bought to justice. “It’s a Question…” is about researchers who ultimately determine whether humans “have a basically good nature that is corrupted by society, or a basically bad nature that is kept in check by society. ( IAW, 3-4)” H.H. Holmes in The Devil in the White City was a psychotic serial killer who was undeniably twisted and evil to the core.…

    Everything happens for a reason, even murder. Nonetheless, people believe murderers should not be able to explain why they ended a life, but this could be vital to preventing future homicides. However, most of the time, the motive is not clear. One explanation of this could be a personality disorder known as antisocial personality disorder. Many serial killers have this disorder.…

    Lastly and most importantly, I would have not used violence to reach the outcome that I want. In conclusion, it is important that any person, who investigates a case, represents the innocent or the guilty respects the rule of the law. Like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social…

    If I could compose an alternate plot for Mary Higgins Clark’s novel, No Place Like Home, I would have made Jeff MacKingsley to listen to Sergeant Clyde Earley’s plan, and search through the trash behind Henry’s without the search warrant. If Jeff accompanied Clyde, he wouldn’t have been cocky and made it so obvious that the evidence of the red paint used in the vandalism was found by leaving the trash can tipped over and open on the ground. Therefore, Henry would not have noticed that the police had gained insight that he was the one who had caused the vandalism, and without informing his boss of the problem, would have stayed alive. The police would find away around the warrant and find Henry guilty, however, they would have never had…

    Obstruction of Justice In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes: Hound of the Baskervilles (1986), the idea that justice is put forth over the character’s individual righteousness is the privileged idea. What is actually being shown is that the characters, even Sherlock Holmes, favor what they personally think is right ahead of what is just. Sir Henry Baskerville takes it upon himself to chase down Selden because he knows he is a convict, but he does not stop to consider that he should take a step back and allow others who are more informed to take action on this issue. Sherlock is so focused on figuring out the mystery of the hound that he neglects to help others along the way and just observes the area.…

    When Holmes is searching inside the house with Ms. Stoner he begins to understand what caused her sister’s death, while Watson is completely confused.

    In both the book and the television series, the main character of Watson, Baskerville, and the culprit are three main pieces of the plot that can be heavily contrasted as well as compared. One of the first places that it is easy to see the differences and similarities between the television show and the book is with Sherlock’s sidekick, Watson. While Dr. Watson appears good natured towards Holmes despite the psychological defects of the man, John Watson from the BBC episode is more reluctant to just look the other way and forget about Holmes if he is unhappy with the way he is being treated or if he is upset with Holmes for some reason. During the episode “The Hounds of Baskerville,” Holmes makes some pleading remarks as Watson begins to leave him: “‘John?…
