In this essay that I am producing I am going to look at the way the two murders are described by the authors. I have chosen a pre 20th century book, which is A Study In Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I have also chosen a 20th century book. This is Dead Ringer by Dennis Hamley. Both of these books have murder scenes in. So in this essay I am going to compare them and pick out any similarities and differences between the two books. Then I am going to see what the differences/similarities are and than I am going to try to explain why there are differences or similarities. I am also going to find out if murder scenes in books from different times are described differently are wrote differently. I expect to find that there will be quite a lot of differences in the two books. I expect this because of the different times that the books were wrote and in which era the authors wrote the book. For instance A Study in Scarlet was wrote in 1887 and Dead Ringer was wrote in 1996. This difference in time is a long one. There is a difference of 109 years between the two books were wrote. In that time televisions have been brought into the world and because of this I expect to see that the pre 20th century book will have a much more vivid look on the murder scenes.

I think that the murder scene in this book it ...
