Sherlock Holmes DRAFT

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is a great detective. He has many skills including; A master of disguise, strong, fast, and very introspective. For this part, I will be writing about him being very observant. The quote I will be exploring is:

“You see, but you do not observe” replied Holmes

The quote “You see, but you do not observe” is a reply by Holmes to Watson. Where Holmes says to him that he only views something, never observes it. The average person would look for the most obvious things in a picture, and not the small details. An example of Holmes being observant is when Holmes was looking for the knees of a helper for Jabez Wilson in the Red-headed League.

“I am sure that you inquired your way merely in order that you might see him,” said Watson.

“Not him.” replied Holmes.

“What then?” 

“The knees of his trousers.”

During the Red-headed league, Holmes is trying to inquire about Jazeb Wilson helper. Holme’s doesn’t mainly want to talk to him, but rather to see his knees. This is what Holmes meant by “You see, but you do not observe”. If Watson / a regular person had talked to this man he was trying to inquire, he would probably just have a regular chat. While Holmes is trying to find small details like the knees of his trousers to see if his deduction was correct. His deduction was that if this person was digging a tunnel to the bank. If he was digging a tunnel, the knees of his trousers would be ruined and dirty. Holmes' deduction was correct.

A master of Disguise

Sherlock Holmes is also a master of disguise. Even his best friend, Watson couldn't recognise him when he had dressed up in a disguise. The quote that shows this is:

"As I was surprised to my friends master in disguise, I had to look three times to make sure that it was him." Watson said in his mind

When Holmes walked out of the dress room, he had changed his accent as well. His disguise was so good, it took Watson 3 looks to make sure that it was really him. Holmes disguises himself so that he can gather information from other people. 

In the story, Scandal in Bohemia, he dressed up as a taxi worker and walked up to the other taxi workers. He talked to them and gained their respect and trust. He then was able to gather information and walk away.

What I did today -Syafiq

  What I did today Tuesday, 17 th August 2023 I went to school very happy because today I have Music and P.E , which are my favourite subjects. When I woke at 6:00 to pray, I stayed up because I don’t want to waste time, and I think 7 hours and 55 minutes of sleep is good enough. During the time I stayed up, I watched some YouTube videos and played some games. My current favourite game is Rocket League . The reason I like the game so much is because I see YouTubers doing cool tricks inside the game, so I want to practice to get better in the game. The problem is that I can’t find any good teammates when playing competitive matches. Teammates are essential because they need to have a good match with you, so that they can pass to you, shoot, talking to each other, so then you can do tons of teamwork. All of my teammates are really bad, they never pass to me and always take the ball, blame on me, and on top of that, they leave the game. So, I am really low rank right now, but if I

A Fun day - Tuesday 5/12/2023

  A fun day – Tuesday, 5/12/2023 The reason I find Tuesday so fun is because that on Tuesday I have P.E, and Music. I also had Geography but I wasn’t that excited because we had a test on geography coming up. Music sometimes I find fun because it can be stressful sometimes. For P.E, I find it most of the times fun. I don’t ever find P.E stressful or not fun. Anyways when we woke up, we did our usual morning routine. We decided to wake up early and sholat. We then showered, ate breakfast, read Qur’an, wear our coats and gloves, then we set off on our bike to school. Then we arrived to school. When we arrived to school, I got to my line and said bye to Azka while he walked to his line. The bell had already rung, so the groups of people were already going inside the school. I said Hi to my friend Aiden and we started to go into the school and into our form class. The teacher said about some Christmas stuff that was coming up and some extra school stuff. We then all left and went to

A strange day... - Tuesday 19/12/2023

  A strange day… - Tuesday, 19/12/2023 Today was a strange day. The day first started off kind of sad, this is because today I have a dentist appointment and that means I have to skip P.E. P.E is usually the most fun subject because it’s fun and very limited as it only occurs once every week. I firstly woke up in the morning to pray, once I finished praying, I went down stairs to make my breakfast, once that I went back upstairs to shower as my brothers didn’t want to shower first. Once I finished, I put on my clothes and prayed again. I read the Qur’an and went back downstairs to finish my breakfast. Once it was time to go to school, we stayed at home since we had a dentist appointment. We left at around 8:40 to go to the dentist with our school uniform and bikes, and once we arrived at 9:00, we waited around 9:15 till it was my older brother turn, then my turn WAS supposed to start at 9:25 but instead it happened during 9:20 because it was so quick. Then it was my little brother
