Jabez Wilson was hired as a ‘red-head’ for the ‘Red-Headed League’, a league founded for the development of red-headed males in
The Red Headed League is perfect for reading whether in school or on vacation. It’s a spine-tingler building suspense on every page. It keeps you guessing whether you’re a child or an adult. Sherlock Holmes is a great role model and a great main character. Solving the crime of the century by defeating John Clay and still making it home for supper proves just how great Sherlock Holmes really is. The method of crime solving in this marvelous spine tingling story deserves “two thumbs up”.
The Red-Headed League
Character Analysis: Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is a very unusual character. He is a detective and is usually hired on cases that involve lots of thinking and logic. He is able to analyze a whole crime scene with as little as a story and a smoke of hid pipe. In The Red-Headed League, Holmes heard the story from the point of view of Jabez Wilson, a red-head. Holmes then smoked his pope for a while and figures out the crime that is about to happen. Sherlock is also able to analyze little facts about a person’s life by taking a quick glance at him. He can notice if you’ve been writing lately, working, or even if you have a cat. Holmes also reads facial expressions and can tell your reaction to any statement, whether you’re shocked, tense, surprised, or even if you’re keeping in a laugh- all this through a glance.
THE CAUCASIAN MUMMIES MYSTIFY CHINESE
SUMMARY
The Caucasian mummies Mystify Chinese is about mummies being shipped to china. When the Chinese archeologists discovered the mummies, they all freaked out about what they discovered. They were all wondering how they got their in the first place. The mummies had really weird symbols of a sun on their faces and other symbols. The scientists made a huge chaos about the situation of mummies. The first idea they got about was that they came from Egypt. The people that did the discovery talked to the Egypt government and asked them questions like, does the mummies belong to you. They answered them and said,” yes we shipped them their”. No one knows why the Egypt government did that. But all they know is that China has just given it back to them.
Detailed Analyses
The mummies were Caucasian found in China.
They were found by the teen Shan mountains in uremia.
The mummies had long red or blond hair.
They also had English cloths on and had a tattoo
of the sun on the side of their faces.
Some belief it was a religious thing,
but no one knows for sure. No one really knows
if Egypt is telling the truth or if it was lying.
RECOMMENDITION
I recommend that this story is told to middle scholars because, it can teach them about mummies. Also about how they lived, and what was their history like. I really liked this story because think mummies are interesting, and I like to figure things out. Mummies are just dead humans rapped around a lot of cloth. So there is nothing to be afraid of because they can never harm you. Mummies also bring back the Egyptian history that was hidden. It was really interesting reading about mummies, and how they were discovered. This story didn’t really freak us out because, We know that mummies are wrapped tight coffin.
Review of the poem
A mission is a mission and he can’t complain
He must do as he’s told and he won’t be blamed
He must travel for miles and miles
And if he doesn’t hell be put in trails
Travel for days as the sun is rising
Travels for nights to reach his place
And as he reaches there may be a fright on his face
The place is a house an ordinary one
Its just what hell find wont be fun
Finding a house with dimmed lights
Dark shadows and creepy noises all cause of fright
“Hello” is anyone there? He cried.
He waited and waited for a reply
The night was cold but the silence fated and died
No respond but someone was there
He was very sure and no longer could bare
He waited once more and wouldn’t dare say
He just turned and strode back away.
SUMMARY
A traveler goes to this assigned house he was told to visit.
He knocked on the door and no one answered, he called out but still no answer.
He felt as if someone (or some people) was there, he let them know that he kept his word and came to the house. He strode of away.
ANALYSIS
In the poem the author is referring back to the ghosts that haunted the house that the traveler approached. The author was specific about the listeners to be things not seen but can hear everything that can go around them, and also see everything. The listeners were in the house. The stayed there still while the traveler was calling out for some one to reply back to him. The listeners dimmed the light in certain areas in the house. They were told to tell that certain person that the traveler asked about, to tell him or her that he came and no one would answer to his reply. They were sensed in the house. Only in a specific room, with the lights turned on. The traveler while he was outside calling. And that’s the only reason that they were called the listeners because they observed by starring and listening and not talking back. The way the traveler was describe and the way he felt towards the things that were unknown living in that house was a lot of fright. The listeners not only were just there but they made the house very dark and mysterious. The people where phantom listeners and listened to him so quietly. They were able to hear everything this guy was saying and they were they’re filling the place up. He felt their strangeness and he was really scared. The listeners never opened the house for anyone because the house was dwelled with them. When the traveler called out for someone to reply they never replied because they never wanted him near the house and wanted to scare him far away.

Casey. In his position, had so many eyes on him, people depending on him, hoping that he would hit the ball, and make a homerun. People yelling, chanting, and cheering, some people were yelling bad things, which didn’t make Casey feel good at all; it makes him feel uncomfortable. “Strike one, strike two.” People began to yell “fraud” over and over. Casey gave the pitcher a scornful look and it made the crowd quiet. That look made them think that he would not let the ball go by again. “And now the pitched holds the ball, and now he lets it go, and now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow.” Casey had had one more chance, to make it all right, he was so confident that he’s going to make it, but though he was wrong. “strike three, you’re out!” the pitcher said. Casey was acting conceded, he was being stubborn, he was too good for the game, and the people. Casey was reacting to the audience that way because everyone was expecting him to win, so he thought that if he missed both pitches that the crowd would be depending on him more than they already were. Casey was so sure that he was going to score the third time, he thought of himself of someone who was great in baseball, who didn’t need to care at all about missing the first two pitches that he’s get the third pitch. Casey, doesn’t have the right to do that because people pay to go to this game, and they would want their team to win, instead of just show off and miss the first two pitches.

General Zaroff: The Most Dangerous Game!
Analysis
General Zaroff is an adventurous, fierce, mysterious and tough man. He is a sharp-eyed hunter who doesn’t exactly hunt animals. He hunts humans! How? He fattens them up, gives them a knife, clothes, and food and gives them three days in the jungle. If he finds them, they’re dead. If he doesn’t find them, they are free.
The reason why he doesn’t hunt animals is because he’s hunted every game out there, and he needs a new and better challenge. Humans can reason and outwit Zaroff. He has never faced any animal that has given him enough of a challenge. His logic is that he is undefeatable, and no matter what game he hunts, he will never be outsmarted. But the real logic is that a human might actually outsmart him. General Zaroff wants to hunt humans because humans don’t think like animals. Humans have a mind that can challenge General Zaroff in a way he’s never seen before. This is why he wants to hunt humans rather than anything else.
He lives on an island far off in the sea called
