What's wrong with the bell in "The Adventure of the Speckled Band?"

English

Answer:

The bell was a dummy and not even working.

Explanation:

The short story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. The story revolves, as usual, around the mysterious case of murder which Sherlock Holmes and Watson tries to solve.

While examining the room where Ju lia Stoner was killed mysteriously, Holmes and Watson noticed that there was a bell attached along the walls which seems normal, as people use it to summon for anything. But the weird part about this particular bell was that it was<em> "a dummy"</em>, and <em>"it is not even attached to a wire.[. . .] it is fastened to a hook just above where the little opening for the ventilator is."</em> This means that the bell was just a means for something else other than summoning the housekeeper.

We can also see that Danae is proud to state that Zeus is the father. Both pride and anger are feelings, which are illustrated by the dialogue in the passage. Other ways to express the feelings that the characters of a story are having is through their actions or by using an omniscient narrator.

What is anecdotal evidence? when should it be used (and not used) in a research paper?
Inessa05 [86]
Anecdotal evidence is evidence based from personal stories of the author or by someone that the author knows. They are not good for research papers because they are often highly personal and biased, as well as difficult to prove as they are often over-exaggerated and full of lies in order to make the stories more fun.
