Book 2 Reflection 3
I would
say the genera of “Sign of Four” are strongly sorted into being a mystery
genus. The subgenera’s is simply a general mystery. The book is filled with
mystery of- just put simply- “who done it? “In the story Sherlock Holmes has to
solve the mystery of how someone was murdered in a completely locked room,
which is leaving behind the message of The Sign of Four and what does that sign
of four even mean. What also makes this a mystery is that Holmes must put
together clues to solve the case. For example, the clues of a change in
handwriting lead him to the crimes scene. He uses skills of trickery and
deduction to solve the crime, for example after Watson and Sherlock had found
who the suspect was, he used a dog to find out where the suspect went after committing
the crime, he then noticed that the trailed stopped at a marina, and that he
was obviously on a boat. He then asked a nearby child if he had seen a man, the
child then informed him that he left on the Aurora. Sherlock then manipulated
the situation (as seen in many mysteries, to get more information about the
crime) telling the boy that he knew of such a boat was it still blue with white
strips? The boy (not knowing Sherlock was just guessing the descriptions) told
him the correct color and look of the boat allowing Sherlock to then further
fallow the suspect.
