Any topic (writer’s choice)

For this week, you will write a micro-paper, a 1-2 page, double-spaced paper that is basically: list the Top 5 Qualities of Sherlock Holmes. List 4-5 elements that you think are the most important part of his personality or the personality of the stories themselves. For each item on your list, be sure to give an example from the three stories you have read. You can write about Holmess good qualities, or his bad qualities, but I want you to be able to write a profile of Holmes that identifies what are his most important characteristics. This can be written like a list, but each item should have a paragraph of explanation (with a specific example).

Here is a site that will give you a good overview of some of the key elements of the stories in spiffy charts:
