Sherlock Holmes: Breaking The Law

376 Words2 Pages

Sherlock Holmes Imagine a dark and smelly room that is really crowded, just because you broke the law and did something dumb, well that’s the consequences when you do something wrong. The countess lost her jewel because somebody took it, and then later somebody ended up finding it in a goose. In my opinion Sherlock Holmes did the wrong thing by letting those nasty criminals go. In the first place, Holmes broke the law by letting them go and he should be punished also. Sooner or later everybody ends up breaking the law, but they also get punished for it. Then Ryder and the countess’s maid framed the janitor instead of taking the blame for themselves, now that’s just a crime itself. Guilt is not a good punishment for a criminal, especially if they took something that wasn’t theirs. In the second place, they probably think that they will always get off the hook when they do something wrong. They probably still think that they could steal from other people. They might even think that they could do even worse than they did before. They might still think that it’s still okay to blame other people for their wrong actions. In the third place, the criminals put a jewel in a goose and didn’t pay attention to how many geese there was with a black stripe down its back. So it ended up that somebody ate the goose and found a jewel. Meanwhile, there …show more content…

Holmes broke the law by letting them go. For example, it is just wrong to put a jewel in a goose, and you shouldn’t blame somebody else for something you did even though you did it because you didn’t want to take the blame for you own consequences. Sherlock Holmes might have saved their souls but, he still broke the law by letting them go and the criminals also broke the law by stealing a jewel. That is my opinion, Sherlock Holmes should not break the law for a

While Dr. Holmes is relieved that no further charges will be brought against him and relieved perhaps at the rapport he has now built with the Triqui people, Dr. Holmes violates certain ethical laws by crossing the border. It is made obvious that Dr. Holmes is taking part in participant observation in this case, he crosses the border with migrant workers. But certain questions come to mind when considering the extent of his participation in the ethnography that translates into ethical

  • Edward Pierce's The Great Train Robbery

    During the Victorian era occurring throughout England, crime rates had begun to increase. Not only did theft and assault become more common; forgery and fraud were in the mix as well. Even though many crimes were coming into speculation, one specific offense had the population baffled. Although his motive may seem unclear in The Great Train Robbery, Edward Pierce’s reasoning for executing one of the most bizarre robberies of his time had a special purpose; he wanted to out-do the stereotypes and show that even the most respected of England can execute a mere “street crime.” Taking into account that Edward Pierce was known to be one of the more reputable men between his associates, it is odd that he would commit such a crime.
