world is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. Being the most enduring character of detective stories, he is known for having “an obsessive personality.” Two traits of many, placidity and arrogance, come together to define Sherlock Holmes an enduring character. A first reason Holmes is a loved character is due to his impassivity. In “The Adventure of the Speckled…

The first dystopian piece of fiction to be created is credited to the work of H.G. Wells, who published The Time Machine in 1895. Since The Time Machine, hundreds of thousands of dystopian fiction works have been published, making it one of the most popular genres in works with young adult audiences, be it literature or movies. The movie The Hunger Games, based on a book published in 2008 by Suzanne Collins, is one of these works of dystopian fiction. The dystopian genre has several common…

Scandal In Bohemia,” one of the first things mentioned is Sherlock Holmes’ lasting impression of Irene Adler. It becomes clear to the reader within the first few sentences of this short story that Sherlock Holmes was captivated by this mysterious woman. It is not until the end of the story that the reader learns why Holmes, who formerly seemed to mostly disregard the opposite sex, was so enamored with this particular woman. Sherlock Holmes is regarded as a highly intelligent and logical…

Transcending literature onto stage and screen, Sherlock Holmes continues to fascinate audiences to this day.

Willingham was falsely convicted. Issues occurred in all of these instances that allowed for the devaluing of the field of forensic science. If…

A medical examiner assists the government in determining the cause of death by examining a corpse,a process known as an autopsy. Medical examiners are not limited to forensic pathology, they can also become clinical pathologist and perform an autopsy upon request. I have always been intrigued by the science of pathology and anatomy, the…

In the short stories of Sherlock Holmes and the movie, there was many differences. From my observations of reading the short stories I noticed that nowhere in the short stories was mentioned about him in a car. But in the movie there is a few scenes where there’s cars and I saw him in one of them. From this in formation I have to say that the short stories and movie take place in different time periods. Another difference I found was the way Sherlock Holmes acted. His attitude in the book was…

Trent de Boer's Shovel Bum is another point of view on how archeological work is being completed in the field. What makes it entrancing is the way that the stories are from the excavator's perspective. "Shovel bum" by definition is a gathering of classicist who work for government organizations and self employed entities. In spite of the huge measure of work that the paleologists are included in, the general population stays negligent of their diligent work. De Bore's book gives in the…
