If I were the girl trapped in a room of mean old men, before escaping from the window, I would put many furnitures on front of the door so that the mean old men could not open the door that easily.

If I were the author, I would change the title “Hound of Baskersville” to “White tiger of Baskersville”, because I think that sounds better and white tiger is my favorite animal.

I though Sherlock Holmes was more young and kind guy, but he was actually old and a little mean. He is a detective and I am a student, our lives are completely different. In the story the environment was very different from ours, because of the dates. This story is about few hundred years old and their fashions are very different. People still smoke pipes in the story. I think the author is very smart and clever. Maybe when the author was younger, he solved many problems like a detective.
I disagree with the author’s view of people and life. Because the author always judges people whether he or she is a good person or evil person at the first glance. I learned the lying is useless for detectives. They would find out the truth. So I decided not to lie to detectives. I wanted Sherlock Holmes to be more young and handsome but he was an old men.
