The Speckled Band
The Speckled Band The Speckled Band is a short, realist, detective fiction story. I think that the purpose of the story is mostly entertainment the but it think it explores the human relationship between Sherlock Holmes. I think that the genre of the story is suited to the purpose because it is a realistic story which allows the reader to relate to real life. I think that because of the story's realism, that the story is very quick and relatively exciting. The story can be divided into four sections. The first section is the introduction, the second section is the development of the story, the third section is the climax and the final section is the conclusion of the story. Many events take place in the story, in the introduction the story introduces the reader to Sherlock Holmes and an old detective case were a woman called Helen Stoner comes to the aid of Sherlock Holmes because she fears for her life and also tells Sherlock some of her background. In the development of the story Sherlock finds out possible motives for why Helen Stoner's farther would want to kill her, he also investigates Helen's home where he finds a bell-pull that is unattached to a bell, her bed is fastened to the floor, a ventilator from her farther's to her room and a small dog lash tied so as to make a loop of whipcord in her farther's room, Sherlock also give Helen instructions for later on.
