The movie "Sherlock Holmes" and the book we just finished in english class, The Curious Incident of the dog in the night time, are a lot a like. Christopher and Sherlock both enjoy math and science as well as revealing hidden clues. Not only are Christopher and Sherlock a like but in this instance but also the people close to them resenmble the same motive of leaving. As both stories are presented there are red hearrings involved, making the reader or watcher think one way but it turns out there is a whole new spin on things.
Sherlock is an investigator who finds the facts behind Blackwood and the invention a former townsman invented, this invention would kill Palament.Making Blackwood powerful with putting the fear in others. As Sherlock investigates he comes upon math and science to solve the problems that come up putting his own life in danger. Chris on the other hand likes maths. He uses it as a comfort almost as Sherlock does science. Without these two things neither men would be sane. Christopher also uses math to help him in daily activities. They determine a lot about how the day will go, how to get to places, and most of all keeping things in order. With each character they solve the mysteries that are presented through their determination.
Christophers mother left him at a young age, when Christopher met her again she seemed to want him like the past seemed to just dissapear. As Chris goes through the battle with his mom and dad he realizes that things were better the way they were and he can trust his dad. Being an esential part of the others life they can't let go of one another while it is easier for Chris to leave his mom. Sherlock has an instance like this except the outcome is opposite. The girl that he becomes attracted too if very miss leading and minipulates his mind so that he will fall for her and do as she likes. While in doing so, this placn is only in place to save Sherlocks life. When Sherlock finds she has been working under Blackwood his mind changes. He is still fond of her but he leaves her, he doesn't kill her because there is still a connection but she recieves a second chance. When someone comes in or out of their lives it makes a difference. There may be madness and even joy but either way they can do no wrong to the other in a hurtful manner. They are still connected.
Sherlock Holmes is insperational to Christopher and as he fallows in his footsteps they incounted red hearrings, or missguiding clues. Christopher believing that love is the ability not to lie to someone finds otherwise. His father killed Wellington and even misslead him that his mother was dead. With great detective work, looking for the unknown he comes across letters written by his mother. This red hearring is very unexpected and throws a new look into the story. Chrstophers "film" memory helps him see things about his mother he would have forgotten. Knowing what he does and remembers he can reconnect with his mother. As in Sherlock Holmes instances occur smililar to this. Sherlock comes upon many stories that are confusing. The way the dead can come back and black magic. Everyhting seemed so real. As Sherlock plays through his memories clues stay within. He can solve how Blockwood never died to begin with, how he killed the way he did, and how things will end. Both chracters have a lot in common, each over comming these missleading obsitcles, solving for the truth.
