Dense Drizzly Mystery

Dense Drizzly Analysis
How does Doyle create a sense of mystery in Ch3? Conan Doyle uses uses a combination of literary devices to build up tension and create a sense
of mystery I chapter 3 Doyle uses negative words and descriptions of the atmosphere with the motif of darkness to bring the reader into the
mysterious and miserable atmosphere of a 19th century London. The case of Mary Morstan is presented to start on a 'September evening'. This
particular choice of month brings the reader into the cold,foggy and often miserable atmosphere of September. The atmosphere is highlighted by the
sentence 'the day had been a dreary one,and a dense drizzly fog lay low upon the great city.' Doyle uses alliteration as shown in 'dense drizzly' to
illustrate and intensify the imagery of London in the 19th century. The repetition of the d sounds can bring the reader onto a journey out into the city
streets because they can remind us of the rolling of wheels such as the ones of the four wheeler Watson,Holmes and Miss Morstan travelled in, and
suggest the thudding of horse hooves on the pavement which a Victorian audience would be very familiar with. Doyle gives hints of mystery by using
the motif of fog and darkness. The combination of the two() creates a mysterious setting where nothing is clearly visible(under the cover of darkness
)The word 'low' implies that the mystery is very close to the ground on which Holmes stands on and suggests he alone is putting himself towards an
unknown destination

Literary Analysis Of DonT Ask Jack
In the three texts Don't Ask Jack written by Neil Gaiman, Rebecca written by Daphne du Maurier, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
all incorporate Gothic features such as characters, themes, setting and the atmosphere.
In all three texts, Don't Ask Jack, Rebecca and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the atmosphere is somewhat the same but has some things that are
different. In the short story Don't Ask Jack written by Neil Gaiman there is high sense of creepiness and darkness while the children play in the "attic
nursery on grey days when the wind howled, rain rattled the slates and pattered down the eaves" (Pg.1–2). Gaiman used the sense of creepiness
extremely well through–out his whole story and set the scene. Where as in the story of Rebecca written by Daphne du Maurier there is some sort of
mystery in the back ground or the section is building up to something of some sort. This is relatable to Gaiman's Don't Ask Jack as Daphne du
Maurier states "and only little flickering patches of warm light would in" (Pg. 1). The author of Rebecca has set some of the story so that the
characters are driving through a dark forest like tunnel "Suddenly I saw a clearing in the dark drive ahead, a patch of sky" (Pg.1). Washington Irving.
The author of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, has created a sense of mystery and strangeness within the story. Some people in the story believe the
ghost stories about the Headless Horseman where as others do not. While all three texts show a

Christopher Pzrywara Analysis
When the task at hand is to conceptualize and elucidate the miraculous nature of what normally cannot be described by the physical senses, the essence
of nature and being itself will be revealed through intense reflection and analogizing. After careful analysis of some of ErichвЂ© Przywara's works in
Analogia Entis, Metaphysics: OriginalвЂ©Structure and UniversalвЂ©Rhythm, the tools acquired to grapple with this type of difficult metaphysical
contemplation ensure that mere mortals are even capable of such thought. Przywara raises an interesting issue in particular in his writings about
philosophy and theology synchronizing in a mutual cohabitation. This is to say that to understand certain aspects of the divine, one matter of study
does not trump ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Philosophy is insufficient in reaching the truth about God that all mankind has sought out since the beginning enlightenment and revelation. "Even the
concept of "defined truth" leads to mystery. But, whereas the philosophical concept breaks off into mystery, in the theological concept mystery is the
fullness of the concept" (Pzrywara, p.183). Philosophy conceptualized in the paved street leading up to the temple depicted as a "bright corona" is
compared with the "dark center" that is the temple. (Pzrywara, p.182) This analogy is helpful because it demonstrates the beautiful application of
reason in accordance with faith. Reason is what guides us along this conveniently lit paved street, which then defers to the darkness inside the temple.
That darkness symbolizes aspects about the divine that we cannot gather from our own self–intellect. However, we may be able to reason out some of
what we don't initially understand, it is the intervention and guiding hand of theology that gets human beings to the closest metaphysical answer. In
terms of theology, faith appends beliefs and ideologies, whereas philosophy relies on knowledge and principles that are known to understand certain
findings. Ironically, this difference highlights that knowledge alone is not enough when taking on metaphysical questions and concepts. Indeed, the
more we may come to know only shows us how much we truly don't know at all. That is essentially the concept of faith entirely. With what you cannot
know for sure, having faith allows for divine intervention to take place in terms of divinity perfecting our human

How Does Hercule Poirot Create A Sense Of Mystery

Murder on the orient Express By:Agatha Christie
Mystery
Plot Summary This book is about the murder of a wealthy man on a train. A famous detective is on the train. His name is Hercule Poirot. They find out
the murdered man was the man who kidnapped a baby girl, in the U.S. and murdered her. He interviews all the people in the car and makes some
assumptions. While searching through the passengers luggage he finds some interesting things. Poirot ponders all the facts he has attained and then
thinks of two solutions he then presents them with the solutions, but not after one by one he reveals their true identities.

Poirot said no but Ratchett asking foreshadows his death the day before it.
Figurative Language
Simile– Hercule Poirot: "Only by interrogating passengers could I hope to see the light, but when I began to question them, the light, as Macbeth
would have said, thickened." this is a simile because it uses as to compare the two things. Poirot was referring to how when he questioned the
passengers the solution seemed to be farther away from before because their stories all fit together but none of them seemed to be the murderer.
Personification– Hercule Poirot: "My friend. Now I must go and wrestle with my report to the police and with my conscience."This is personification
because it is giving an inanimate thing humanlike characteristics. Poirot is referring to how he must think about all the information and figure out his
solution and it will be hard because of his conscience.
Book Review/Recommendation– I give this book 10 out of 10. It was very creative, and hooked me right away. For anyone who likes a good mystery
this book is a good one to choose.

The Mystery Of The Novel ' True Sense, And Seems '
One such story that acted as a folktale, although today we know that it is not a folktale in the true sense, and nevertheless, mentions the characters of
the original vampire is that of Croglin Grange. In the story of Croglin Grange, the vampire is described as a hideous, brown creature with flaming eyes
that came scratching at the window of a girl that occupied the Croglin Grange house (Summers, Vampirein Europe 113–115). The Croglin Grange
vampire was also insinuated to have supernatural strength or power, being that a gunshot wound to the leg did not hinder its ability to escape. Chinese
folktales provide evidence that vampire hysteria spread to other cultures around the globe. Some Chinese folktales also give accounts of the original ...
Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Pagan belief about the origin of the vampire is also introduced in this folktale, which stated that vampires were created through the union of a witch
and a demon or a witch and a werewolf. Based upon these folktales, the conclusion can be made that the original vampire possessed a full mouth of
sharp teeth, had claws, drained victims of their blood (whether it was collected or drank), possessed supernatural abilities, and was not visually
appealing. Yet, the origins of the folktale depict the beliefs of the culture from which it came. There is a cultural difference between the Chinese
folktale in which the female vampire sucked out the men's chi and the European folktales in which the vampires drank their victims' blood. This
difference shows that although the folktales shared many common features regarding the vampire they were still subject to cultural variance based on
the beliefs of the particular society. In spite of the seemingly opposing nature of the domovoi and the vampire, there is some resemblance between the
two demons. Both are considered entities of the unclean force that are non–living beings yet still assert their influence on the living world. Likewise,
both demons are most active during the night, although for different reasons. The domovoi was most active at night because it did not like being seen,
while the vampire was most active at night because its powers were weakened during the day

Analysis Of Crime, The Mystery Of The Common-Sense Concept...
Robert Reiner's book entitled, "Crime, The Mystery of the Common–Sense Concept", provides a concise analysis of the interpretation and application
of the concept of crime within modern society, particularly in the U.K. Reiner discusses how the notion of crime is far from being a "common–sense
concept" even though it has been an integrated and widely used concept in popular culture. The words "crime" or "criminal" by themselves are very
powerful labels that society attaches to the conducts that they essentially denounce. Conversely, quoting the famous author Oscar Wilde, Reiner argues
that "crime 'is rarely pure and never simple'" and "there is considerable conflict about what should and should not be treated as criminal" (Reiner, 1).
Indeed, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, as mentioned earlier, Reiner's main argument holds validity only to a certain extent because of the quality of the evidence that he presented.
For example, the statistics that Reiner examined were from the 1990s and considering that this book was published in 2016, Reiner could have
obtained more recent statistics especially since his main argument was strongly directed towards "modern" society. Moreover, since he argued that
criminal statistics are already "notoriously riddled with pitfalls" (Reiner, 106), he should not have used statistical data from the 1990s, for the sake of
preserving his argument and because the data are conceivably limited in their validity. Comparatively, the Office of National Statistics reported that the
latest figures of crime for the year–end 2017 indicated that "levels of crime have continued to fall compared with the previous year" with the
exception of certain types of offences that did not show falls as compared to others (Office for National Statistics, 2018). However, if Reiner's
argument is taken into account, that the statistics represent a small percentage of the overall population and that half of the number of offences
committed are not recorded, then perhaps the "dark figures of crime" that go unreported should have been explained by him in further detail.
Furthermore, the ONS also reports anti–social

Rhetorical Analysis Of Allende 's Two Words
There is a magic that exists in this world. We use it every day, but we tend to overlook it. This magic that I'm talking about is the use of words.
Words are very powerful. They can build up nations or tear empires down. The power of words is prevalent in Isabel Allende's short story, "Two
Words." She is able to convey her message that words have a magical power to them through literary devices. I believe that the strongest of these
literary devices is Allende's use of imagery, specifically imagery that conveys the character's personalities, the feelings between Belisa
Crepusculario and the Colonel, and the sense of mystery behind words. Allende use of imagery allows the reader to picture specific traits about
the main characters. For example, one trait of Belisa is that she is clever, a trait of the colonel is that he is lonely, and that El Mulato is loyal. One
example of Belisa's cleverness is when she learns how to read and write to in order to survive. In the story, Belisa begins by working for a
newspaper. She spends her money on a dictionary and a teacher (81). This portrays an image of a little girl working hard, not only physically, but
mentally as well. This takes intellect and a determination, but what takes cleverness is not just using words that she found in a dictionary (81).
Another example of her cleverness is after she has helped the Colonel, and El Mulato comes for her. Allende writes, "She had been waiting. She
picked up her inkwell, folded the canvas of

The house and name of Hyde gives secrecy. As I have written before, Mr.Enfield description of the house adds mystery. Cannot see inside, nobody
goes in and out but once in a great while. Which creates very mysterious atmosphere and tension on the reader and Mr.Utterson? The name 'Hyde'
sounds mysterious as well. It very sounds like 'Hide', not to be seen. Gives mystery but nothing. All the description about Mr.Hyde is strange to
the reader. "There is SOMETHING (gives mystery) wrong with his appearance; something downright detestable. "He gives a strong feeling of
deformity." Writer tries to give very little information about Hyde, and it is not definitely horrific but reader gets the feeling or a presence of
horror and very strong mystery. Mr.Enfield says, "Let's make a bargain never to refer to this again." Reader and Mr.Utterson wants to know more
about Hyde to solve the mystery but Enfield's wants to forget about him. Reader and Mr.Utterson knows just a little bit about Hyde and it is quite
puzzled. Puzzled knowledge creates mystery and makes reader to desire for solving the mystery which also leads us to creating a sense of
atmosphere. Characters: There are four characters in opening chapter of the novel: Hyde, Utterson, Enfield and Cain heresy. But I will be referring to
the three main ones. Mr Utterson is a

The student with the most recent birthday will be the recorder (also person #1) and the student with the birthday further away is the principle
investigator (also person #2). The students are very familiar with the responsibilities for each role.
ANTICIPATORY SET:
The Teacher will enter the classroom and exaggerate the use of her senses by going through each one and asking the students questions. For example,
the teacher may ask the students to describe the room, like what is smells like, what it looks like, what the desks feel like, and then she asks them to
close their eyes and tell her what they hear.

BODY OF LESSON:
Procedure:
1. Introduction: The teacher will start the lesson by asking the students if they have ever heard of the five senses. If they say yes, ask what they know
about them. If they say no, then say, " Well today we are going to find out what the five senses are!"
2. Body: The lesson will start off by having the children do an activity. The children will be divided into groups of two. After the children are
divided, the teacher will explain that the first sense is called touch. The teacher will explain the mystery box activity. The teacher will then pass out
one mystery box for each group. The children will then be told to put their hands into the box and try to observe and guess what the item could be. To
check to see if they are right, the children can look on the bottom of the mystery box. The name of the item

J.b. Priestley 's An Inspector Calls
A Comparative Essay An Inspector Calls vs A Study In Scarlet This essay will explore the representation of the mystery genre through J.B
Priestley's play An Inspector Calls and Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet. The extent to which the detectives are shown to be archetypal
characters of the genre will be discussed, as well as the various ways different literary conventions add to the tone of suspense and mystery. The way
in which An Inspector Calls and Study in Scarlet are written creates impact and tension for the readers. An Inspector Calls is written as a play, which
means a high amount of dialogue. This allows the audience to be exposed to the thoughts of each of the characters and allows the audience to
experience the contrast... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The readers are also exposed to the deep thoughts of his mind, "This fellow may be very clever, I said to myself, but he is certainly very conceited".
The character of Watson is believable and comforting, he warmly invites the readers into this world of mystery. Our bond is deepened by the fact that
all these experiences are as new to Watson as they are to the readers. This paired with the autobiographical style of writing authenticates the narrative
further. These elements increase the suspense and mystery within the text and particularly the readers' concern for the safety of its characters. As has
been shown, tension and suspense can be created through both dialogue and first–person perspectives in the mystery genre. Another point of contrast
between An Inspector Calls and A Study In Scarlet are the detective figures. Inspector Goole initially seems to be an ordinary Brumley police
inspector, he is described in the stage directions as giving 'an impression of massiveness, solidity and purposefulness'. He takes charge immediately
and remains in control throughout. He remains solid as each member of the family breaks down, as nothing distracts him from his purpose. He is
definitely an archetypal detective figure of the mystery genre as he does things very systematically and deals with 'one line of enquiry at a time',
Therefore controlling the structure of the play. Although, as the play goes on the members of

Water Mill Fog Many artists attempt to provoke emotions and interest through there artwork; however, not all truly succeed. Though one artist that
skillfully rouses sentiment and curiosity is Jane Wilson (b. 1924). One of her most famous paintings, Water Mill Fog (1966), has an intriguing sense of
mystery behind it. It is an oil painting on canvas that is 60 X 74 – 1/2". The title, Water Mill Fog, directly depicts the scene of the painting. In 1960,
Jane and her husband moved to Water Mill, NY, where she was inspired by the beautiful landscape. She had a deep understanding of fog, which is

A car drives on the road with its' lights on, bringing illumination and warmth to parts of the composition. All figures are blurred by the fog, and some
of them even require stepping back to see. There is a heavy use of highlights on house gable and fascia that help the house from being blurred out
entirely from the fog. The trees of the composition appear as light, vague, and plastic. The fog softens their texture by revealing only parts of the trees.
The colors used in the painting help create the illusion of fog. Only neutral colors were used and the hues vary only slightly to give the effect that
objects blend into each other. The overall color of the composition is a cool gray/off white, giving the impression that both the color and shapes are
altered by the fog.
The overall experience with this painting is pleasant. The fog blends the soft colors in a way that gives the sense of stillness and airiness. From the
quote mentioned above, it could be assumed that Jane Wilson wanted the viewer to both ponder and experience the unfamiliar. The fog acts as a veil
that covers the full reality of the scene. It leaves a great part of the composition unknown and invites the imagination to fill in the gaps. It captures the
viewers by bringing then to a state of interest, and then releases them with a sense of

characteristics of the traditional Gothic through the combination of wide landscapes and dilapidated factories. Photos from three collections portray
the transition of the untouched landscape to an overgrown and gothic scene. The first photos of the gothic transition come from the "Prairie Images of
Ground and Sky" collection. The collection shows untouched nature that gives a feeling of the sublime. It shows wide green expanses, bathed in
warm light, that shows a raw beauty and goodness created by nature. This feeling of the sublime is a major aspect of the gothic due to its ability to

This feeling is better reflected in the "Matfield Green" collection that depicts the green expanse that is similar to the "Prairie Images of Ground and
Sky" collection but also includes things such as railroads and power lines that show that the area is populated. This collection adds an aspect of the
isolated landscape and fear of isolation because there is a sparse dotting of humans across the large expanse that gives the viewer the knowledge that
there are inhabitants around, but not seen or directly noticed. The element of isolation in nature is demonstrated in The Mysteries of Udolpho and The
Turn of the Screw by Udolpho and the House at Bly through their setting in isolated landscapes with weak tethers to the rest of civilization. The idea
of overcoming this isolation is also present in the novels. Emily in The Mysteries of Udolpho escapes the isolation to safety. The Governess in The
Turn of the Screw hopes to do the same by connection with the Man from Harley Street but is not as lucky. The effect of the isolated landscape with
an unknown element causes the reader and viewer to become suspicious of their surroundings and uneasy with the sublime landscape due to the
possibility that something evil is residing within it and give a more traditional gothic feel. The third collection that completes a gothic picture of the
Midwest shows the ruins of the prairie. "Steel Work –

How Does Watson Create A Sense Of Mystery
We come to soon realize that it is not some supernatural thing behind the mystery, but learn that someone is behind all of this madness after all.
Throughout the entirety of the novel, there is more than just one mystery. There are little mysteries thru the story that can either distract the reader,
confuse them or help to solve the bigger picture. We also know because of our class discussions that there is no way that the hound is behind all of
this on his own. There has to be a more logical explanation. That is what makes this novel a detective fiction novel. Although the book seemed slow,

It had a good plot and overall meaning of what the author was trying to accomplish. Some things that worked for me personally was the big part
Watson played during the entire story. While this is something one does not normally suspect with it being aSherlock Holmes story, it definitely
departed my expectations. I enjoyed a change in roles. Even though it seemed as if Watson was not excited to do this on his own, I feel as if he
secretly enjoyed it. He felt he was a good as Holmes is and loved each mini mystery he would solve. I also enjoy how much suspense and detail
there was in the story. The leftovers of a letter written by L.L. added another layer to the story and another mystery for Watson to solve. One thing
that was a little annoying was the speed of Watson. I felt I was reading with him for a while, whereas when I am with Holmes it is quick and
fast–moving. Although in reality, Watson was only a couple of days, it felt like months. This is me was done on purpose by the author to show how
different the two men are. I appreciate small details in the construction of the novel because it shows a truly talented

How does Conan Doyle create a sense of anticipation and suspense in the Adventure of the Speckled Band?
The Adventure of the Speckled Band is a classic mystery novel. It is so in the way that it uses several writing techniques to create a sense of
ambiguity and vagueness. Conan Doyle makes sure to leave the reader with as little information as possible and to make it hard to foresee what will
happen next. This is all to have them anticipate the ending and the solving of the mystery, to keep them gripped. Even the very title of the novel is
unclear and does well to conjure up ideas inside the readers mind. It is only until the whole story is took in and the ending is unveiled that the reader

The meeting of Helen Stoner is very important. She is described as having veiled and fully black attire. This suggests that she is in mourning. She is
also described as having frightened eyes, like those of a hunted animal, and being very agitated and trembling. Conan Doyle regularly uses this
technique of showing the reader the symptom before a cause is established. It is much more shocking. This is all to construct the readers sympathy for
Helen Stoner, but also instigate fear in whatever it is she fears. Conan Doyle also uses this meeting as a means to show the reader the significance of
apparently minor and trivial clues in the story that unfolds. Sherlock Holmes deduces
Helen's mode of travel by observing that she has the second half of a train ticket in the palm of her hand. This allows him to safely assume that
Helen has travelled to him by train that morning. This technique warns the reader to be on lookout for what may seem like trivial details if they want
to try to solve the mystery. It also allows Conan to throw in some 'red herrings' in order to divert the reader and throw them off the trail.
Helen Stoner goes on to describe her family and her circumstances, in particularly her Stepfather. Her description of him suggests to the reader that he
is monstrous, brutal and feared by everyone.

Euphony In Just Poem
In E.E Cummings' poem, in Just, the use of various language devises such as euphony, oxymoron, and an allusion, contributes to the theme of the
arrival of spring brings the awakening of beautiful life and joy, along with mystery. The advent of spring leads the world to be "puddle–wonderful"
(line 10). Euphony in these calm and bright words contributes to the mood of newness and wonder brought by spring. By deploying words that are
pleasing to the ear, Cummings encourages the reader to feel the life and joy brought by spring. Additionally, the oxymoron of a "world [that] is
mud–luscious" leaves the reader confused and left with a sense of mystery (line 2–3). The juxtaposition of "mud", which is typically considered dirty

Zodiac Killer
Throughout most crime show films, the sense of mystery is lost after only a few short minuets of viewing. The repetitive suspenseful music and
ever–lasting plot twists draw out the film to a nearly unbearable length. However, Zodiac director, David Fincher, was able to maintain the sense of
mystery throughout the entire film through color choice, odd character development, and shot inserts. Color scheme of the entire set plays a huge role
in conveying a message in films. Bright, warm colors are usually associated with happy times, but cool, dark colors are melancholy. The entire tonal
color scheme of Zodiac is muted. The colors are almost never vibrant. Even outdoor shots when including natural and vibrant sunlight seem muted. For

Character development also plays a large role. Zodiac develops its characters in a slightly odd manner. The main character, Robert Greysmith, is
developed through his personal life lightly but not as much as would be expected for the main character of a film. In fact, none of the characters are
truly developed through their home–life. Greysmith marries in the middle of the film, yet the audience never sees the wedding. He also has children,
but the only time the audience comes in contact with these characters is when the case involves them. The audience is not in tune with the
characters' personal lives, but they still feel greatly attached to them. Greysmith from the start wins the hearts of viewers as he is the outcast of his
workplace. He asks at one point "Do people ever call me names?" The hearts of audience members are crushed at this line. Gresmith remains the
focal point of the moive, especially after he begins his own research on the Zodiac. Slowly, the mental health of Greysmith can be seen to decline.
He becomes more irritable. His wife actually leaves with his children for a while because he became so absorbed in the case. When talking to
witnesses, he needs to hear what he wants or he becomes angry. This strange character development adds another sense of mystery to the film.

fulfils his needs in the concoction of a draught that changes his mental and physical state to that of Mr Edward Hyde, a foul and loathsome being
with no care or love of the purity of the soul or well being of his fellow man, a being often described as "Satan like". As he spends more and more time

People worldwide are emotionally, mentally and physically bombarded with unexplainable tragedies every single day. Our population has a
continuous struggle that never stops with how to solve their life's biggest questions. Society thrives on escaping their struggles. The thrilling
literature of mystery has been embraced by society for hundreds of years as a way to run away from reality. Mystery genres date back all the way
to 1841 and Edgar Allan Poe with one of his first popular mysteries set in Paris, The Murder in the Rue Morgue (Demko). It is 177 years later and
mystery is still a very addictive type of entertainment. Currently, there are multiple forms of mysteries including books, short stories, movies, and

Characters is one of the first pieces that is similar and different. The main character in the episode is the strong brooding hero of the story. He is a
smart and handsome character that embodies somewhat of a superhero always saving the day by solving the crime. While there is no superhero in
Agatha's story she does have a stronger leadership role that is taken, but by a man who is the vindictive murderer. Murder mysteries today illustrate a
hero as there star role, while on the other hand Agatha twist that aspect and changes it completely. The antagonist, or killer in this case, is intelligent
and has psychological problems in And Then There Were None. One of thenovel's male character's motives was to serve justice for wrongdoings that
people got away with, and also just his want for a masterful killing. While his mental problems ran–deep starting with his childhood, the antagonist in
the show had no mental issues. The show's male character had motives to get pure revenge towards a team that killed most of his crew. Similarities
between these two roles is that they are both very quite intelligent and their premeditated murders were planned out meticulously. Another aspect that
is the same between both genres is that one moment where everything could have gone wrong and backfired for the antagonist. In the show while
trying to save the 3rd Navy Seal, at a clear time it seemed impossible to do so, and he came close to not being saved. Also in the book, Justice
Wargrave was almost caught by Blore during the night when he was supposedly already dead. The characters, motives, and plot elements are just the
tip of the iceberg of what can be analyzed between both of the entertainment pieces. From way different time periods, the similar and contrasting parts

Dr Watson Sparknotes
A Study in Scarlet is among the first detective murder mystery novels and was written by Sir Arthur Doyle in 1886. The novel launched an iconic
character into the literary world, Sherlock Holmes that would come to be known and loved by many generations along with his trusted partner Doctor
John Watson.
The novel starts by introducing Mr. Sherlock Holmes. He is depicted as an eccentric and brilliant character with a curious mix of knowledge that is
both specialized and diverse. He's a bit of a loner and shows moodiness. With signs of depression, Watson speculates about Holmes use of drugs.
And, although his true profession is never revealed, Holmes' decision to take on his first mystery case came from a strong sense of "duty is to unravel
it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it" (Doyle 81). He goes on to establish himself as a successful a consulting detective in successive Doyle
novels based on a gift for solving mysteries by piecing evidence together like a simple puzzle. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The narrator, Doctor Watson, often describes him as a great violinist. Holmes is also characterized as a brilliant and unconventional thinker. He is
a bit like a mad scientist whose theories rarely make sense to others until all is revealed and a case is resolved. Early in the novel, Stamford calls
Holmes, "a little queer in his ideas" (Doyle 9). He displays his genius based on the fact that he was the only one who could read between the lines and
solve the mystery at hand. Holmes is essentially an intelligent and talented person who colors outside of the lines to get a job

The Fall Of The House Of Usher Essay
In Edgar Allen Poe's short story: "The Fall of the House of Usher", Poe perfectly exemplifies his main principle that everything in the story must
contribute to a single effect. As a result of this method, everything in the short story is specifically chosen to develop fear and terror in the minds of
the reader through the use of mystery and gothic writing. The narrator's initial reaction to the house of Usher introduces an eerie, gothic mood to the
story as Poe is trying to develop a setting of mystery and fear. As the narrator approaches the house, it's evening time and he feels a strange atmosphere
developing around him. "I know not how it was– but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit"(1). The
narrator just by first impression feels, as there is something wrong with the house. The phrase" insufferable... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The narrator witnesses the nature of his friend's illness, which is described as a "morbid acuteness of the senses" (95) and his eyes are "tortured by
even a faint light" (95). Also, Roderick can eat "only the most insipid food and wear only delicate garments" (95). The extensive description of
Roderick's madness provides the reader with the truth about his state of mind and how he is deteriorating into a "crack" within the house. Roderick's
portrayal of having "morbid acuteness of the senses" suggests his illness has left him manic and hysterical. Through Poe's portrayal of Roderick, he is
immediately established as an unstable character. Roderick's erratic nature intensifies the already present mystery in the house. Roderick and his
constant delusions push him away from reality, which creates a sense of mistrust around him. His odd illness and description only adds more fear to
the narrative and furthers the idea of doom in the

Comparison of Toadstool Wood and Snowy Wood
'The toadstool wood' describes a woodland at twilight. Everything is quiet and dark. Reeves describes the woods as if it is hoary and inactive, I
know this because in the poem he says 'mouldy'. He also says 'arching sprays of bramble' which means there would be alot of cultivation as well in
the wood. On the other the poem, 'stopping by Woods on a snowy evening' has the setting of a man on horse back stopping by the woods for a rest
when he is on a long journey. Frost describes these woods as if it is glacial and gloomy, I know this because in the poem he says 'The darkest evening
of the year'. This would also means that it is frightening. There are many common things between these two poems. Firstly both poems scenes are set in

The narrator knows the owner of the woods and knows where he lives but then he says, 'he will not see me stopping here'. Why will the owner of
the woods not see the narrator stopping by? Then the narrator says 'my little horse must think it queer, to stop without a farmhouse near', so that
means his horse thinks it is very odd, to stop when there is no farmhouse near. So why did the narrator stop then? This is another example of the
mystery the poem evokes. The author describes the woods as if it is very scary. I know this because he says 'the woods are lovely, dark and deep'. I
think he was being sarcastic when he said 'lovely'. 'Dark and deep' would mean that the woods had a lack of light and that it was very big and you
could get lost in it. In this poem the narrator still has miles to travel in his journey because on the last two lines he says 'and miles to go before I
sleep'. Where is the narrator's destination? This poem has an AABArhyme scheme. Frost has added alliteration 'dark and deep' and he uses
onomatopoeia 'the only other sound's the sweep, of easy wind and downy flake.' Overall this poem created a more powerful sense of mystery than the
toadstool wood, which means it has created more suspense. I can see more mystery in this poem other than toadstool wood. I have given examples.
Both poems employ striking imagery to create a powerful sense of place. Reeves describes the toadstool wood as an isolated quite place,

"A man of a rugged countenance that was never lighted by a smile" This could suggest to the reader that Mr Utterson is a grim or evil character,
which creates a sense of mild horror and mystery already about this character. Now the writer again informs the reader about uttersons look, "lean,
long, dusty, and dreary." This could imply that utterson is a creepy dark person, therefore again creating a sense of horror and mystery about him.
This sense of mystery is portrayed again by Stevenson, in the way he describes uttersons lifestyle and personality. "He never marked a shade of
change in his demeanour." This makes utterson sound like an old fashioned, cold hearted man, therefore creating a sense of mystery. Now the reader
has been told of uttersons looks and what his personality is like, now the writer informs the reader about uttersons stature and influence on people
around him. "The last good influence of the lives of down going men." This foreshadows what is going to happen later on in the novel and that Mr
Utterson may be involved, this creates a sense of mystery and horror about what is to come. These quotations about the lawyer, utterson, from the
opening page, act as an early piece of foreshadowing because why else would Stevenson want to tell the reader these facts about

Traditional Values In In Praise Of Shadows By JunIchir?...
The essay In Praise of Shadows, written by Jun'ichirЕЌ Tanizaki explores Japanese cultural values and aesthetics. The main goal Tanizaki had while
writing In Praise of Shadows was to inform the reader about the importance of having traditional values in Japanese culture. In his essay, Tanizaki
uses shadows to symbolize traditional values, as he believes people are not seeing the importance of traditional values, just as they are not seeing
the importance of shadows. Tanizaki believes that as time progresses people tend to lose focus of 'old', traditional values and begin to focus solely
on 'new', modernistic ones. "I would push back into the shadows, the things that come forward too clearly, I would strip away all the useless
decorations"(42). Tanizaki believes that people should still value traditional concepts and that they should strip away useless, modern ones. Tanizaki
wishes for people to eulogize shadows in their life. To accomplish his desire, Tanizaki recalls past life experience to create a sense of appreciation of
the mystery and darkness found in shadows Japanese cuisine is a very important aspect of Japanese culture. The way food is prepared and how it is
presented, play vital roles on how people view Japanese culture. In his essay, Tanizaki makes several key points on how traditional Japanese
cooking is reliant upon shadows forming from the darkness of the room and plateware. Tanizaki argues that Japanese cuisine loses much of its
beauty when it is served in a modern lighted room or on modern, bright plateware. "With Japanese food, a brightly lighted room and shining
tableware cut the appetite in half" (Tanizaki, 16). He believes that having food served in a dark room or on traditional plateware causes the food to
acquire a true depth that cannot be acquired in a brightly lit room or on modern plateware. This is why Tanizaki idealizes lacquerware in his essay, as
Tanizaki believes that, "Darkness is an indispensable element of the beauty of lacquerware" (13). Tanizaki recollects a memory of the time he visited
the famous restaurant in Kyoto, The Waranjiya. This was the first time Tanizaki had uncovered the true depth that lacquerware holds. "I discovered in
the gloss of this lacquerware a

Ambiguity In Running In The Family
It is suggested through Micheal Ondaatje's Running In the Family that Ambiguity is used to convey and express emotion, through murky selective
information in Ondaatje's vignettes to incorporate a window of doubt. This therefore allows the one who expresses ambiguity to retract their first
thought if it where proven to be incorrect. However, when ambiguity is used in excess where the one displaying ambiguity is leading the other to an
improper conclusion, the ambiguity causes frustration instead of the original thought in where the one displaying ambiguity no longer can retract there

The Relationship Between Nature and Love in The Aeolian...
The Relationship Between Nature and Love in The Aeolian Harp by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"The Aeolian Harp," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, has puzzled modern critics. The poem has many different readings, all of which are justifiable.
"The Aeolian Harp" was composed on August 20, 1795. "This was a short period when Coleridge was happy in his approaching marriage (Harper)."
"SARA" is the young lady he is supposed to soon marry. Throughout this poem Coleridge "speaks to his wife" (Wayne 73) showing his undyinglove
for Sara in relation with nature. "The Aeolian Harp" is definitely a honeymoon poem in that it celebrates Coleridge's love for Sara (Scheuerle)." Sara is

This sensitivity to nature is seen clearly in the first stanza of "The Aeolian Harp." In these lines he examines awareness of the different senses as they
run together to create a completely natural feeling.
"My pensive SARA ! thy soft cheek reclined
Thus on mine arm, most soothing sweet it is
To sit beside our Cot, our Cot o'ergrown
With White–flower'd Jasmin, and the broad–leav'd Myrtle,"
These first few lines represent and show the sensation of touch that Coleridge is trying to capture. He remembers being able to feel Sara's cheek on
his arm while sitting outside his cottage. "Most soothing sweet it is" could be Coleridge referring to the way Sara's cheek feels on his arm or he
could be referring to how "soothing" it is "To sit beside our Cot." The next few lines in this stanza depict the scenery that Coleridge is witnessing at the
time.
"And watch the clouds, that late were rich with light,
Slow saddening round, and mark the star of eve

Serenely brilliant (such should Wisdom be)
Shine opposite !"
The lines explaining him watching the clouds roll by is representing the natural awareness of sight. Coleridge appeared very in touch with nature and

Edgar Allan Poe Alone
Edgar Allan Poe's "Alone" is a retrospective narrative poem about a speaker that is constantly enveloped by an inner feeling of isolation. The poem
implies that the speaker has been alone, in every aspect of life, since his origination, and draws neither "sorrow" (6) nor "joy" (7) from common
sources as others do. In "Alone", Poe masterfully commands poetic elements like speaker, setting, meter, tone, imagery, symbolism, repetition, and
metaphor to allow for the clear illustration of a mysterious speaker that is characterized by stark alienation. The narrator has felt alone since childhood,
and even feels alone in some undescribed point in the future. A sense of aloneness manifests in the speaker because he feels the source of his feelings
is different from that... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is nearly impossible to assign one singular meaning to the water's symbolic nature in "Alone" because they, like the speaker, are ambiguous. For
instance, he expresses that he cannot bring his "passions from a common spring" (4) like others do. While it's evident that the speaker's desires do
not come from the usual places, it is clear that he does have passions, and that the image of a spring is the source of his passion. In this way, the
source of water in the form of a spring implies a sort of freshness of expression. In other instances though, the water is depicted as a "torrent" (13)
that embodies his "stormy life" (10). Here, the water is described as being a source of destruction rather than a source of inspiration. The speaker
seems to resent the images of water in these lines because they are a representation of the way his life is different from those around him. In this way,
water symbolizes a distinct differentiation to the speaker because he feels that the waterвЂ’ whether it's a spring or a torrentвЂ’serves to set him apart
from his

Although these short stories are fictional and were written in the mid 19th Century they are crime dramas containing stereotypical images of the
villains of the time. These include social outcasts such as Dr Roylott and Monsieur Faulkner. Many writers use suspense in their stories in order to
excite the reader more and to make them want to turn over to the next page. This is can be done by giving the reader some information, but not
enough for him or he to be able to answer the mystery or riddle that they may be trying to solve. 'The Speckled Band' focuses on the Roylott family, of

Therefore the nouns are used to create suspense effectively. The complex sentences used in Helen Stoner's speech, when she informs Holmes of the
situation, such as, "The very horror of my situation lies in the fact thatГўв‚¬В¦as the fancies of a nervous women", suggest she hasn't spoken to anyone
about her fears, and therefore she is desperate to report to Holmes, allowing him to attempt to solve the mystery. By doing so, there is a build up
of suspense for the reader, as it is apparent the reader will soon discover the mystery, which has been troubling Helen Stoner. The reader's first
impression of Dr Roylott is that he is better then his relatives and he will do the "right thing" with his life, as he has a medical degree, and a large
practice in Calcutta. This however is a false impression of Dr Roylott, as Helen Stoner describes him as having "A large face, seared with a
thousand wrinkles, burned yellow from the sun, and marked with every evil passion' he is also said to have 'deep, bile shot eyes' and a 'high, thin
fleshless nose' which resembled 'a fierce old bird of prey." Also we learn that " he beat his native butler to death", in a fit of anger. And later on, "he
became the terror of the village". Suspense is created by the description of Roylott as such a dangerous character, and because of this we fear for the
safety of Helen. Our picture of Roylott as a dangerous and violent man is reinforced when he bends the poker with his bare hands

Edgar Allan Poe 's The Pit And The Pendulum
Edgar Allan Poe has written many different stories and poems throughout his lifetime and the common themes of death, horror, and mystery help to
prove him as a Gothic Literature writer. Many of his ideas came from his own life because he had a very hard life growing up involving a lot of
death of loved ones. Throughout his stories, he has a common motif of suspense that help to exemplify the Gothic Literature sense. He also used a
third person point of view very often as to help portray the horror in the stories and create more mystery which are common elements in Gothic
Literature. Edgar Allan Poe uses his poor personal background, the motif of suspense, and the first person point of view to prove he is a Gothic
literature writer through his short stories, "The Pit and the Pendulum", and "The Tell Tale Heart".
Edgar Allan Poe had a very hard childhood growing up and it even extended into his adult life with his mother, stepmother, and wife all dying from
Tuberculosis. Poe's father also died when he was a child. Poe uses the fact that he had a poor childhood to create characters in "The Tell Tale Heart"
with characteristics that show that Poe is a Gothic literature writer. As Sara Constantakis says, "Like his natural father, Poe was an alcoholic."
(Constantakis). The state of mind he was always in helped him to create the dark and mysterious characters that appeared in his stories. The characters
in "The Tell Tale Heart" is in a crazy state of mind and shows elements of

BODY PARAGRAPH ONE; horror Turners short narrative 'Fingers', explores the intuition of fantasy and the mysterious actions of the protagonist
Lonsdale Prince. In order to establish a sense of horror, Turner demonstrates the use of essential and vivid imagery hence persisting to continue tonal
adjustments throughout. Turner has this possible ability to be able to connect a sense of creativity and mystery to his reality. Turner utilizes a range of
language features when outlining the central object to the story 'A severed human finger' (pg 3). The finger is the innermost focus of the tale. This
connection is what creates a true horror setting and it is evident when Turner states.. 'clearly mummified the skin...dry ... but it was nonetheless perfect'

Hills Like White Elephants
In Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants", the use of the third person objective view is very important due to how it can affect the tone of the
narrative and the emphasis of the main themes. The tone of the narrative would be completely altered if Hemingway used a different point of view
and would most likely not create the sense of mystery that the third person objective view successfully does. Point of view is important because it is
how the author wants the reader to perceive what is occurring in the story by focusing the reader's attention on the details they want to be emphasized,
such as the themes. The narrator in the "Hills Like White Elephants" provides only basic information that is needed for the reader to get some
understanding about the narrative. The use of third person objective view in the narrator tells the story in a way that is unbiased and creates a neutral
narrative. The narrative being neutral is very significant in "Hills Like White Elephants" because even with such limited information provided about the
characters, it still allows the development of characters to occur. The reader can understand that even with minimal background information provided,
that aside from the current conversation there is more to this story that we do not see. For example, in the quote "It's lovely ... It's ... Show more content

The third person objective view helps focus the reader on the theme of choices by providing an unbiased portrayal of the story. The reader is
provided a sort of "bird's eye view" on the situation that is never resolved and gives the reader the chance to understand that they, just like the

This shows how sound and narration are very important in the making of thrillers as they play a big part and give us and insight of what happens or
what could happen in the rest of the film, creating tension as it leaves the audience on a

The use of Editing throughout the clip is purposely limited throughout out the whole clip, giving the thriller and the audience a more realistic view on
the film. On aspect of Editing used to create realisations is fades. The credits throughout the beginning of the clip slowly fade away suggesting threat
and tension is slowly built up throughout the rest of the clip. This show how editing is also key in the making of thrillers and really does need to be
considered in order to create tension and threat in thrillers. Another example of editing used throughout the clip creating tension and threat is the use
straight cuts. The use of straight cuts used in the opening of this clip, tightens the realism and making it seem that violence is out of place in this

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Similarly, through careful analysis of a work of art it is possible for one to more deeply
understand the ideas that the artist is attempting to express. At first glance, Edward Hopper's painting "Nighthawks" may just appear to be a painting
of a normal diner. However, it is only through careful analysis that it is possible to see that the painting actually excels in creating a feeling of
darkness, while at the same time portraying the feelings of both desire and mystery in the viewer.

It can be inferred that the man sitting alone does not want to be bothered based on the fact that he is sitting farther away than everyone. This begs
the question of why the lone man would not want to be bothered. Similarly, the lone man is sitting with his back facing the viewer as opposed to
having his facial features visible to us like the rest of the people in the painting. This gives us no indication of emotion that we can use to try and
figure out how the lone man is feeling, which only strengthens the sense of mystery that he gives the viewer. The arms of the lone man are also not
visible on the counter in front of him, suggesting that his hands may be cupped in front of his face in deep contemplation. Consequently, this leads the
reader to wonder what he is contemplating, adding to the sense of mystery. Lastly, a sense of mystery is portrayed in the way that the waiter seems to
be staring directly at the lone man. Consequently, the sense of mystery is again strengthened by the lack of information regarding why the waiter is

Something Rich And Strange Short Story
Complete intelligence of the mystery of nature is an impossible task. Ron Rash's short story, "Something Rich and Strange", displays that human nature
does not allow individuals to comprehend the mystery of nature while living. Authors use literary elements to add depth to their writing and help
support the meaning. In "Something Rich and Strange" Rash uses symbolism and plot to show the reader what understanding characters such as the
drowned girl, the sheriff, and the diver have obtained about the mystery of nature.
It is not until the girl is drowning that she recognizes the intensity and capability of nature. Ron Rash's use of plot and symbolism is apparent in his
presentation of the drowned girl's revelation after death, which is in accordance with the theme of the story. The girl feels as though she is invincible,
a very human frame of mind. As she wades deeper into the river, she ignores the surging current. Even after she is first pulled downstream, she feels
that she is in control and will be fine. The events are recounted, saying, "She is being shoved downstream by the current and she does not panic
because she passed the Red Cross Courses" (44 Rash). Humans tend to believe that they are in constant authority and cannot be taken down by
anything, not even nature. This plot point displays that the drowning girl is no different. She is completely oblivious to the peril she is facing. It is not
until the girl is drowned that she understands the mystery and strength of

The Tell Tale Heart By Edgar Allan Poe
Written in 1843, The Tell–Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe incorporates nearly all of the gothic elements. While this piece of art may not contain all of
the gothic elements, it is the epitome of a gothic short story. In The Tell–Tale Heart, the setting seems to be inside an old house, which strengthens the
atmosphere of mystery and suspense. The madness and overall insanity of the narrator illustrates the sense of high, overwrought emotion. The presence
of creaking hinges and the darkness represent the metonymies of gloom and horror throughout the story. Sustaining the atmosphere of the gothic, the
appropriate vocabulary also maintains the atmosphere of suspense, the overwrought emotion, and the metonymies of gloom and horror. In combination,
the elements that are utilized in this short story create a gothic masterpiece and each element individually influences the plot of The Tell–Tale Heart.
Early on in the story, Edgar Allan Poe introduced the atmosphere of mystery and suspense. In The Tell–Tale Heart, the atmosphere of mystery and
suspense is enhanced by the unknown and the narrator's vigilance. "It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it
haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man." This quote immediately entices the reader to continue
reading because the author is vague about what he has done; creating the perfect atmosphere of mystery and suspense. The vigilance and caution of

A moral character like Holmes, fighting fiercely for the good side represented by the glow, would fill them with hope for a safer city with fewer
crimes. The frightened attitude of a Victorian audience is perhaps represented by Watson who says 'I am not subject to impressions, but the dull,
heavy evening, with the strange business upon which we were engaged combined to make me nervous and depressed.' When Watson says he is 'not
subject to impressions ' we can think back to his first impressions of Miss Morstan which were quite romantic.Perhaps this irony of Watson not being
subject to impressions could emphasise the idea that he as a kind–hearted man tries not to be influenced by the negativity of his surroundings and this
brings even greater mystery to the reader as we question how bad () the negativity In London must be that even Watson is affected by
