Why Is Stealing Wrong

486 Words2 Pages

Has anybody ever stolen something from you and got away with it? Well, in this paper I will tell you my opinion about the Sherlock Holmes story. In the Sherlock Holmes story there was a man named Ryder. Ryder stole a gem from a lady, later Ryder went to his sisters house, at his sisters house she has geese, and Ryder wanted a goose to eat for thanksgiving supper, he picked a goose who had a long black stripe down its back. Ryder chose that one because he needed to know that goose from the other geese. The reason he needed to tell them apart is because he shoved the Gem down the goose’s throat. Basically after that he got the wrong goose and there was actually two geese that had a black stripe down the back. And Ryder blamed it on someone else. …show more content…

Imagine if someone was stealing something really expensive from you. Also if you work really hard for something, then someone would just come up and steal it from you. You don’t just go up to someone and take something that doesn’t belong to you. Also its kina messed up that Ryder blamed it on an innocent guy who had a family to take care of, and had to miss Christmas because of one stupid mistake that you made. Third of all, if you get away with one crime, then you might think you could get away with another one. Also, I know everyone deserves another chance but, Ryder knew that stealing was wrong. And he trespassed on someone’s property not to mention he shoved a gem down a goose’s throat. But he also tried to frame someone for stealing the gem. Ryder made that poor guy be in jail, on Christmas. He had to spend Christmas in jail instead of with his family. The cruel part is that Ryder knew that the guy that he framed had a family to take care of. In conclusion, these are all of my reasons why I think Sherlock Holmes made the absolute wrong decision. One, stealing is wrong. Two, Holmes had no authority. Three, Ryder could try to commit another crime. I know people have different opinions, but I believe Holmes made the wrong

James Holmes did not live a normal childhood. He attempted suicide at a young age. He would see things starting at a young age that (although not actually there but they were in his mind) involved loud noises throughout the night and people fighting and killing each other with weapons and firearms. I think a stronger focus on James Holmes younger years could have helped out the defense a great deal and they didn’t really seem to focus on it that much during the

The red-bearded man’s love affair with crime, a main factor as to why he robbed the train that one night in May, can be seen by his sophistication in the crime scene. Pierce was “exuberant in [his] approach to crime,” (6) such as how “Pierce and his fellow conspirators” (97) easily found the first two keys. However, he was not only stealthy and quick, he also forgot nothing, like when he bought fifty pounds of lead shot to replace the gold’s weight. After many years of practice and excellent economical habits, moreover, Pierce’s knowledge and wit shows that he truly lives on robbery, which helped him pull off a crime that went down in history.

There was no motive for the police or any officials to question Holmes further succeeding his business. Americas ingenuity was at all time high during the time the Chicago Fair was constructed. With the ability to construct attractions in an area close to water on unleveled ground in an area that was popular for violence was a very risky action. Since the fair was a major success we can infer that American Ingenuity was used for something other than producing industrial machines and products and using their resources to create architecture within America itself. Chicago was not the tier location to construct the World’s fair but in the end it was an intelligent decision for the American

Tobacco saved the Virginia colony! In 1607, Jamestown was founded by settlers, which was the first lasting British colony in America along the Chesapeake Bay, which is considered in present-day the Virginia colony. In 1606, Virginia Company investors obtained an authority from the king, enlisted settlers, and sent them to America in order to search for gold, in which settlers built a fortress, but struggled to get through their early years in America. Settlers landed in America to search and look for gold so they did not expect to stay for a long period of time in America; they did not want to sow crops, but they faced famine and starvation. However, John Smith took control and enforced settlers to farm and plant crops in which he warned them

Suspicion can be fascinating but haunting. Since Victorian times, the suspicious death case of Sir Charles Baskerville in The Hound of the Baskerville has intrigued/compelled vast amounts of readers. However, recent audiences are more compelled to stories with a modern twist of horror and gruesomeness. Because of less main characters, a fast-paced plot, and the differing point of view of Atwood’s The Hound of the Baskervilles film adaptation, the film has a frightening, intriguing mood with a new perspective compared to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original novel.
