BOOK REPORT (STORY 1)

THE NORWOOD BUILDER

This is a story of the book of "Sherlock Holmes Stories" written by Sir Arthurd Conan Doyle. This adventure begins with a boring and uninterested Holmes cause there weren't cases to solve since the death of the unfortunate Professor Mariartry, until suddenly a worried man came for help. The story is narrated by his old friend Watson.

Mr. McFfarlane the worried man was a lawyer, and the police wanted to arrest him for the murder of Jonas Oldacre, because of that he asked for help to Holmes. After Mr. McFarlane told his story to Holmes the policeman Lestrade arrested him. Holmes begun his investigation going to the home of both the accused and the murdered, at first he didn't found anything interesting even he thought that the police was right, but then a telegram of Lestrade had arrived reconfirming the guilt of Mr. McFarlane with new clues. Holmes went again to the scene of the crime and he notice that these new clues they weren't when he made his investigation, so in that moment he realize that Jonas Oldacre was alive and he was hiding in a false wall with a secret door that he had been built because he was a builder.

The story is interesting I like it because It's short, It's easy to read and I enjoy the way that Holmes always use to get the answers to the questions, that way is through the abilities like observation, imagination, deducion and anothers, in a few words he always solve the problems in the best intelligent way.

My conclusion is that everybody needs to be imaginative because this could help us in so many aspects in our lives, like in the book for example the policeman was making a mistake due to lack of imagination, because of that Holmes says to him "It is a pity that you lack imagination".
