In 1868, Wilkie Collins wrote the first detective story and it was entitled “The Moonstone”. Later in 1870, Chares Dickens wrote the detective story “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”. These early stories have not become as famous as the creation of Arthur Conan Doyle. </div> <div>      Since the publication of the first Sherlock Holmes’ stories, they have become famous. The reason why they gain fame so quickly was that at that time, there was a greater demand, in general, for stories. More people learned how to read; they were becoming educated. Conveniently, Canon Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes’ stories in real English and they were often short which attracted readers. </div> <div>       With the time when people started reading the Sherlock Holmes' stories, they started to know who is Holmes. They become attracted to the character who was able to use his powers of deduction to solve cases that the police found difficult. He occasionally made fool of the police, which is possibly one aspect that the reader enjoyed. The personality of Holmes is also intriguing. He was a character who appeared to be cold and distant towards people who come to ask his assistance, however, occasionally for a brief period he shows the reader a different aspect of his personality. One example of this is in "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot" were Holmes stated the flowing: </div> <div> " Upon my word, Watson! I owe you both my thanks and an apology. It was an unjustifiable experiment even for oneself, and doubly so for a freind. I am really very sorry." www.holmes-sherlock.com </div> <div>       Holmes’ original readers enjoyed reading about his various interests and could identify with some of them. The passion for playing the violin and listening to orchestral music are examples of pastimes, which readers could relate to it. Sherlock Holmes had some characteristics which have become trademarks of him as the way he folds his hands, the urgency and suspense of his speech, his style of sitting in an armchair with his arms and legs curled up indicating an intense degree of thought. There was enough description in the story to make the reader believe Holmes to be a dark, mysterious, and solitary man. The readers enjoyed also his impatience to begin unraveling the mystery at his hands, this way he got them involved in the story. When reading Holmes’s stories, people find that he does not always succeed in his cases as in “Scandal in Bohemia“. "This plot development demonstrates that he is not faultless, and makes him more human and believable than if he succeeded in all of his cases." www.shadws.freeserve.co.uk/lodge/claire.html </div> <div>      Another reason why people enjoyed reading Holmes' stories was the character of Watson. There was a friendly and kind in Holes' companion, a character whom many readers may feel close to and sympathy towards. </div> <div>       Serlock holmes was to many people childhood hero and he will continue to be for the remaining of their lives. He is hardly what a person would call an ideal man, but he had remarkable deductive powers, multifaceted personality, and he was excellent in many disciplines. SHERLOCK Holmes' eccentric life-style, his compassion for the downtrodden, his efforts to right miscarriages of justice, his friendship with Dr. Watson, and his love for one woman have always intrigued and inspired the readers. </div> <div>  </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Me"><U>Contact Me</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="ABOUT PIMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE"><U>ABOUT PIMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>    <SCRIPT>  </SCRIPT>  <form method="POST" action="http://mindit.netmind.com/mindit.shtml" target="_top"> <input type="hidden" name="SOURCE" value="511"> <input type="hidden" name="URL" value="http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/abstract/188/TlxTransfer.txt"> <input type="hidden" name="DOC_TITLE" value="jshanane_site"> <input type="hidden" name="REDIRECT" value="http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/abstract/188/"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tr><td align="center"> <font face="arial,helvetica" size="-1"><b>Click to receive email <br>when this web site is updated</b></font></td> </tr><tr><td align="center"> <input type="image" src="http://mindit.netmind.com/images/mindit511.gif" border="0"></td> </tr><tr><td align="center"> <font face="arial,helvetica" size="-2">•<b> Powered by <a href="http://www.netmind.com/" target="_top">NetMind</a> </b>•</font> </td></tr></table></form>   </div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.trellix.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.trellix.com"><U><IMG SRC="04752280.gif" border=0 width="82" height="40" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
