- Sherlock Homes
Sherlock Homes interests me because he is very confident about the choices he makes about the investigations. Sherlock is extremely calm. He likes to be left alone or discuss with his partner Dr. Watson. Even though Sherlock is not the number one detective in the country he still does not show that he wants to be or act like one. He seems like an ordinary man who has many tricks to finding clues and solving mysteries. Sherlock and his partner Dr. Watson display no authority nor aggressiveness because he takes his time and "leaves no stone unturned".

-Re-tracing the steps
Sherlock Homes had been given a testimonial stating Sir Charles Baskervilles death. He received this from a man named Dr. Mortimer, who had not seemed to be followed. Sherlock and Watson found a taxi cab driving at the same speed that Sir Henry Baskerville, the air to the Baskerville palace and Dr. Mortimer. Sherlock found more foot prints approaching another part of the area called the Moor. Sherlock and Watson also receive a letter stating that they should never go to the Moor and also that the Hound of the Baskervilles lives in the Moor. Three men say they heard a screaming noise but one of them was a little bit scared it seemed. He could have been their and seen the Hound.

-The Quotes
- "There is no object in our following them," said Holmes.
"The shadow has departed and will not return." (p. 47). This appeals to me because i thought this proved that Sherlock has time to loose and is quite passionate about his job.
- "When you pass Bradley's, would you ask him to send up a pound of the strongest shag tobacco?"(p.29). I understand now that for Sherlock Holmes to really understand the investigation he has to be doing something that he enjoys and smoking his pipe is one of them.
- "It would be as well if could make it convenient not to return before evening". (p.29). Also he wants to left alone to think. Sherlock Holmes has to be in solitude to solve murder mysteries.
