Charles "Tex" Watson

It was but a few years back when I met Sherlock Holmes. In our eighth grade year he was new to my school, he moved from Cambridge to Westminster, here, due to a change of his father's employer. I remember when I first saw Sherlock, his piercing blue eyes, high and prominent cheekbones, and his stiff, upright posture, he stood out so much as he still does. He walked into my homeroom on the first day of school, his unique looks distracting everyone from their conversations. Even with all eyes on…

Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick John Watson have been around for more than a 125 years, and yet from the Victorian age to the present they have remained popular culture figures. It is unlikely that you will come across someone from a first world country that has not heard of the legendary duo. Naturally, this begs the question of why they have endured time so effectively. After over a century the name Sherlock Holmes still brings to one’s mind images of a deerstalker and magnifying glass;…

Sherlock Holmes and his partner, John Watson, stolled up the lane and stopped at a door marked 21C, which was shaded by an old magnolia tree. “I think this place looks like the one.” said Watson to Sherlock. “Hmm, I think this place looks like a ruddy shack,” says Sherlock. “I don’t think anyone let alone the president of the biggest industry in London would live here.” Sherlock knocked on the door and got no answer. “I think this is a time for non formalities.” pronounced Sherlock and then he…

When I began to read Montana 1948, I began to feel like twelve year old David Hayden did during his hardships in the cataclysmic summer of 1948. These events which were ingrained into David's memory give Watson inspiration to express just how different life was in 1948. One night in the second part of the story David stays up late, unable to fall asleep, thinking about the Indians he sees and interacts with everyday: “That night I imagined all the Indians of our region, from town, or ranches,…

Holmes and Doctor John Watson. Doyle’s representation of their friendship in The Hound of the Baskervilles is fascinating since the two are separated for a long period in the novel. The kind of friendship that exists between the two friends is at most peculiar. It is one sided in nature because one seems to give more than he gets. The two friends are different in many respects yet…

The first lines one reads in the beginning of Larry Watson’s Montana 1948 are, “From the summer of my twelfth year I carry a series of images move vivid and lasting than any others of my boyhood and indelible beyond all my attempts the years make to erase or fade them…”(p. 1). This foreshadowing immediately gives off the ambiance that their are major conflicts to occur. Of course every novel needs a conflict to move the plot along, but what makes Montana 1948 special is all of the conflicts…

perfect and have no obstacles or problems to overcome. They are kept away from the real world and they live sheltered lives. When Diana Spencer married into the royal household, that stereotype was broken. Diana, Princess of Wales was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales and she challenged the typical stereotype of a princess by talking about mental illness, making physical contact with AIDS and leprosy patients, and by exposing her children to the horrors of the outside world.
