Stolb23 [73]

The way Holmes handles the perpetrators of the crimes affect how I view Holmes in a significant way: these examples show that, even with all the characteristics that put Holmes one step ahead of most human being, he is somehow still human, human enough to do something that is not considered right for many, but for him it is. It showed me that Holmes has an integrity I never considered before.

----

For me, it is, as it proves his integrity and also the dedication to his work. He does not want to punish the guilty, instead what really concerns Holmes is the discovery of the truth. In that sense, his mission is admirable.

----

Yes, it is possible to say that he sees himself as “above the law”. Holmes does not care for trivial human conventions, as he displayed on many occasions throughout his career. He believes that his ability and talent are enough to put him above the law.

----

It depends on what it is considered ethical. From his point of view, surely it is ethical. From the point of view of the justice system, it is surely not ethical. From a personal perspective, while I do understand his point of view, I do not consider his behavior ethical.

----

<span>I do consider his behavior ethical because, while he has many talents and abilities, no man should be seen himself as above the law. It takes only one man to consider himself as so to justify every other man to do the same, and so this would led to many men thinking they could do justice on their own. </span>

Highlight clues that signal the reader should change tone.
Talja [164]

The clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. For example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

The tone of the first line of dialogue until "Gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. The narrator is trying to help the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

The clue that helps the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. It gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

The best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

The words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. The sentence: Mister Lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the Gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.

<u>Answer:</u>

The statement which best compares the two passages are “<em>Man I trusted you man I put my life in your hands”</em> and <em>“I got wings you got wings, all children got wings”</em>.

These two lines can be used for comparison as they says that everyone has the capability of embracing the different elements of life in different manner. The importance of the different components vary from individual to individual.
