Book Report

The Final Problem

This case starts in London in 1891. On day Holmes arrived to Whatson house and his frien notice that Sherlock loos lile very tyred and worried, so he ask him the reason why he`s worry and if he could help him. Sherlock said to whatson that he discovered tha criminal mind behind all the crimes in London, the name of the criminal was "Professor Moriarty", he was a very important professor in university and one of the most intelligent persons that Holmes has ever met, in fact Shelock Holmes considered him as his equal in intelligence.

Shelock told to Whatson that he had been able to find evidence about moriarty crimes, but there was a little problem, Moriarty has dicovered that!!!, and now Moriarty was trying to destroy Holmes that why he asked to Whatson for going with him to Europe and of course whatson accepted. Thay satarted the trip and went to the train station, but there thay saw to a strange man who was chasing them but fortunately he couldn`t catch the train on time.

Finally they arrived to Swisserland adn both decided to satay there ultil the police catch Professor Moriarty. They walk for a little tie and foud a hotel to stay there,so after this they decide to go for a walk near to a waterfalls. When they arrived to the waterfalls a little boy gave letter to Watson, in the letter said that a British woman was very sick in the town so she was asking for madical help. S whatson retuned to the hotel meanwhile Holmes wait for him.

When Watson arrives to the hotel he realice that there was no sick woman thre so he returns as fast as he can to waterfalls but he only find a letter of Holmes saying good bye to his best old friend.

In my point of view this was one of the most interesting chapters in the all book, because for a momentet I thougth that Holmes was died, but at the same time It`s not clear how was his death. and obviously without the main character there is no reason to continue the book. Fortunately Holmes was death just for a Chapter!!!!

Book Report

The Speckled Band

This book was written by Sir Artur Connan Doyle, in this book he retails a lot of unsolved cases which he solved with the help of his best friend Watson.

The Speckled Band story retail us how a youn woman called Helen Stoner goes to visit to Holmes looking for help. She lives in a big house with her stepfather because her mother and sister died a time ago. But now she is worry about herself because the last days her stepfather`s behavior has been strange.

Holmes looks very interested in the case, so he asked to Helen about her sister`s death. Helen says that her sister was about to get marry and that both of them ( Helen and her sister) should recive a part of the money that her mother left when she died, but Helens said that a few days before wedding her sister died in a very strange way and the last words that she told were "it was the Speckled band!".

After hear all the story Holmes and Watson went to Helens house just to see what was happening. Holmes was very impressed about what he found inside the bedrooms: there were a ventilator, and a useless bell-rope!!!. So Holmes told to Helen that she would stay that nigth in her room meanwhile Holmes and Whatson stay in Helen`s sister room quiet in the darkness waiting for something......

Suddenly they heard a terrible noice, it comes from Roylott`s room (helen`s stepfather), Holmes went to see what was happening and he saw that Roylott was sitting in a chair, helding in his hands a lenght of rope and around his neck there was a snake!!!!!


So that`s the way that they discovered how Roylott`s had killed t his daugther without been discovered.

This chapter was very interesting because at the begining of the case maybe I could imagine that Roylott was the murderer but there were a lot of things that made the case unsolved and completely misterious. I really liked that way that the author of the book retails the stories, because at the time that Holmes and Whatson are looking for clues and trying to solve the problem, you are making your own conclussiòns in your head and sometimes I would like to be with them ad help them to solve the case.

Comment

I´ve heard this following new, that in Mexico goverment are developing a progressive policy that allows children born in jail to stay with their mothers until they're six years old.

I really don´t know if this is a good idea because this means children are going to live among convicted with murderers and drug dealers and this maybe could be unhealthy for the kid, but in the other hand the child will live with his or her mother and for this simple fact it sounds good. I don´t know if this policy is going to be acepted but I think that the govermenten have to think hard about all the advanteges and disadvantages about rice a kid in jail enviroment.

COMMENT

The last monday happened something very relevant, i´m talking about the earthquake in China, I heard that there are about 15 thousand died people, a lot of desapeared peolple. The earth quake was 7.9 ° richter, the most affected places were cities where were living students, so there are a lot of young people affected.
There are just 85 survivors. A was lintening that in the zone need a lot of things like food, water, drugs, and helicopters because all the roads were destroyed and they can´t transport what they need.

COMMENT

I´ve heard a new about all changes that are happening en the enviroment because of the pollution on earth, water, air, etc. The scientists talking about that in a few years all the planet could be a caos becouse of this reason, they predict a war between diferent countries cause the water is not going to be enough.

I think that nowadays this is one of the most important topics, because for a long time we have been wasting all the natural resources on earth, and what is more we don´t care about all the damage we have caused, and now we´re suffering consecuences of all this.

I heared this week that vitamins can increase the risk of death, mailnly vitamins A and E bacause it seems that this could interfere with natural defenses and what it´s more they could increase mortality.

We think that if we take suplemments it can be benefit for our body but the most of the times with only having a better diet and making some excersice we can help ourselves more than take vitamins.

comment

Nowadays there is a very controvertial topic: Eating disorders. The most of the people who suffer this illness is young peolple, because of the way that they perceive themselves, I think that one of the reasons because in these days almost all the peolple want to look very thin is bacuse all the spots we see everywhere.
Young peolple are most affected because they really want to be accepted in a society and maybe think that been thin they´re gonig to get more friends, love or atention.

In the news said that eating disorders are responsible for the highest number of deaths from psychiatric illness.

In my oppinion we have to accept ourselves just like we are, we are diferent and a "perfect" body is not going to make us better or worst persons.

comment

This week I was hearing about cancer, this is a very important topic because I was listening that in a future one in three of us will be diagnosed with cancer, this is very scared!!! what is more the cancer attacks more to older people and there are so many facts that can increase the risk, like to smoke, drink alcohol, a sedentary life and it´s more common in males.

I think that we should take care of our health bacause in spite of technology is increasing there are no sings that the number of new cancer is falling

This is the story abuot a missing man, the book was writted by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and it´s name is Sherlock Holmes Stories.

All this started when Watson, a famous doctor in london went to a bar, there he found to a very importan people in London... Sherlock Holmes who was the most famous detective in all the sity. He was trying to solved a case. MSinclair was desapeared and his wife was desesperate because she saw him appearing on the window of an old house and suddenly he desapear like if someone had pulled him into the house, than she heared screams.... htat the reason for what she looked for help.

The police said to them that they cannot make him to talk and take a shower, After Sharlock tryes to talk with him and notice that it´s imposible, he took a rag and clean the face of the man, than he notice that it´s Mr Sinclair!!!!

When the man knew that he had been catched he told them all the true, that he diguised himself like a begar because this was an easy way to make money for his family.


ANALISIS
I liked so much to read this chapter bacause it´s very interesting to know how a rich man can have a double life. The way that the Author tell us the story it´s very exciting because theres a point in te book that you cannot stop to read because you really want to know how the story finish. In addition I don´t think that this was an unrealistic story because a have known about people in the same situation.

CONCLUSION
At the end of the story the false begar and all his lies was dicovered. I just have to say that it´s very interesting the way that Sherlock Holmes and Doctor watson join all the clues to discovered the "murderer" of Mr. Sinclair but at the end he couldn´t support all his lies

BOOK REPORT

The author of this book is Sir Arthur Cohan Doyle, and the books name is Sherlock Holmes Stories. The chapter that I chose is the one called "The Empty House". This chapter is about an unsolved murder in London, but there are a little problem in this case...that Sherlock Holmes is dead.
PLOT SUMMARY
All the story started with an unsolved murder in london to a young man called Ronal Adair, this murder was very strange because aparently this man didn´t have any enemies, Watson who was working with Sherlock Holmes for years in a lot of cases was trying to solve the problen using Sherlock methods, but he never found the answer. So one day an unknwon man appear in his house. The man introduce himself like a neighbour, but it was a nice surprise when watson discovered that the man was Sherlock holmes, just that he was trying to conceal his identity because he knew that Moriarty were not the only person who want to killed him. So he Explain to Watson the way that he pretend his own death.
But now that he had returned back to London he was very interesting in Mr. Adaid murder, and like ever Sherlock had a plan to catch the murderer. So he asked to Watson to go to the house in front of his own house and once there they only wait in the darkness for hours, the only strange thing was that in the house of Sherlock there was somebody exactly like he was. When they were waiting a shadow appear in the room that they were, when this man passed very close tho them, Sherlock Holmes just jumped upon the man and threw him to the grown, it was a surprise to found there to Sabastian Colonel who was the second most dangerous man in London and by the way the murderer of Mr. Adair all because of money.
ANALYSIS
Ok I have to say that this is one of the most interesting chapters in the book because I had the idea that Sherlock Holmes was really dead and I don´t want to despise to Watson but he isn´t good like Holmes, it´s very exciting to know how was the fake death and the way that he hide of all the people who wanted to killed him.
CONCLUSION
I think that is very interensting the way that Sherlock solved the problem, but I think that is a little bit fantasizing that fact that he could survive to all that people who wanted to killed him.

new report


This week I have read a new about Hepatitis C virus, wich it is present in a third part of all the world populación, is very important to know about this illness because the infection can ocurrs in many ways, but the most common is when the blood of a infected person enters in the body of someone who is not infected.

When this virus infects the liver can produce serious diseases.

For me was very interesting to know that there are more posibilities to adquire Hepatitis C virus than Human Inmunodeficience Virus, and most of the people never care about this problem, and in fact it´s easier to adquire this virus because is more resistent than almost any other one.

My story

In the place that I come from there are a lot of trees, grass, etc, but one day my father had the wonderful idea that he wanted to plant a los of frutal trees in a yard near from my house. Son One day he got up very early and tell us that we have to plant some trees, son the complete family were to the yard.
When we arrived there first of all we had to make holes on earth, but even we were doing this, I saw a snake, so I screamed and my sister runed far from there ( I think that the snake was more sacared than me because she hided too fast). After this we started to plant the famous trees.
On nights I dreamed with this tree and the time that all together pick up all the fruit, but ohh surprise my dad didn´t tell us that we only had planted avocados!!!, so what can I say this day I finished dirty, scared and months later with a lot of avocados !!!

This week happened something very important in the world, because I listedned that a lot of important cities are turn off the lights, just like an example in the United States citise like Phoenix and St. Francisco did it.
This action was started by goverment of some contries and the main reason is stop the damage to the enviroment and promove to the people for repeat the same action.

mishaps

Hi everyone. Ok about the movie I think that the main character did the following mishaps:

1.- First one: when he was arrested for three times because he robed a little store, it was very funny because at the begining he felt strange in jail, but with the time he made friends there!!!

2.- second: when both (Ed and Hi) decided to robe the child because they cannot have their own baby, this is funny because Ed seems like a very intelligent girl but she showed that everybody has a "dark", the situation it´s comic when they have to the baby in the car and star to cry because of happiness.

3.- And finally Another mishap was when the Hi´s friend arrive to his home and stay there for a lot of time, his friends notice that the baby was robed and at the end they try to robed too, but they are not so bad and star to love the baby too,

I like so much the picture it´s very funny but there were times that i did´tn understand what they said because they talk so fast.

BOMB ATTACK

Today in the morning a Pakistan man bomb kills a lot of people in a province of the noth-west of pakistan. An eye witness said that nobody nows what was happening because all it was very quik he tells that the oldest lider of the area was eating qhen the criminals arrived and the attack took place.

I think that has to be terrible to live a situation like that, all the people that live there all the time are thinking about attacks or die, maybe we can´t do so much for they but at least we have to be interesting in their situation bacause we are living in the same crazy world
