The Adventure of the dashed Band by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle (1892), The Ostler by Wilkie Collins (1855), and The Signalman by Charles daimon (1864). All of these are riddle storiesHow do the writers try to create excitement, mystery and suspense?Which of the stories you have read was the most successful and why?I have chosen to write about three stories The Adventure of the dapple Band by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle (1892), The Ostler byWilkie Collins (1855), and The Signalman by Charles deuce (1864).All of these are mystery stories that have been written in a similarway, with classic mystery and suspense techniques. These storieswere all written in the nineteenth century, and reflect this periodwith the use of old language and settings. overly the use of horses &carriage and the disadvantage of thither being no electricity. galore(postnominal)archaisms are employ in all three of the stories and these reflect theperiod. cipher would use such language today, which also helps to dra wthe reader into the layer because the reader has to concentrate on thecomplicated language and long sentences.The biography structure in The Signalman and The Ostler is rattlingsimilar, with both narrators reliving the stories and heavy them tothe reader, where as, in the Speckled Band, the reader seems to bebeing told the allegory as it happens. In the Speckled Band even thoughhe is speaking from a time after the events of the yarn Dr Watsontells us the story as it happens so you feel included, as though youare there in the story with the partings. This also makes the storyseem more credible factual rather than fictional that itactually happened and that Dr Watson was there. This allows us toshare his thoughts and feelings to supercharge include us in the story.For example I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merelystrange. This shows us Dr Watsons feelings. shamus Holmes is oneof the main characters in this story and he is real well known for hissuccess as a detective. He is visited by a young woman (Helen Stoner),who needs his help after the very sudden and unexplained death of hersister, as she is worried for her own safety. This character actuallynarrates the first part of the story (after Watsons introduction),while she tells Sherlock Holmes of the unsolved mystery. Her story istold in first person narrative so the reader relives the time when hersister dies. Pathetic fallacy is again used to create an ideal settingfor a murder.
