Hannah and her mother are at the supermarket. They are waiting in line for a cashier. Hannah's mother has a shopping cart full o

f groceries.
HANNAH: (Very excited): The thing about Sherlock Holmes, Mom, is that he sees things that other people don't. He uses his powers of observation and deduction to solve crimes. He has incredible knowledge of crimes and villains and the many dastardly deeds they engage in to break the law. He uses his wit and courage, too.

HANNAH'S MOTHER: (Partly distracted, answering while choosing a checkout line to stand in) Dastardly deeds? That's an interesting phrase. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. In fact, you seem happy as a dog with two tails at the moment.

HANNAH: (Feeling thoughtful and confident) Well, maybe that's because I've decided that I'm going to be an investigator.

From The Mystery of the Shiny Paper:

Hannah started to think about Holmes' many skills and character traits. The skills he relied on most of all were observation and deduction. Sherlock Holmes paid a lot of attention to detail and would often notice things that other people missed. Hannah decided that this was where she would start on her road to becoming a detective—observing others and attempting to deduce information from her observations. She spent the rest of the walk back to her house observing others and trying to come up with detective-like deductions.

A few days later, she was at the supermarket with her mother, still trying to hone her investigative skills by observing others, when she thought to herself: This is hopeless. I don't have any chance of solving a mystery! She felt a bit down on the way home and her mom asked her twice if she was feeling okay. "I'm okay, Mom," was all she said.


What are the differences in the way Hannah's thoughts, feelings, and actions are shown in the play A Daring and Dastardly Deed and the story The Mystery of the Shiny Paper? Use complete sentences and evidence from the texts to answer the question.

Answer:

Well, in play A Daring and Dastardly Deeds, Hannah is happy and excited by the thought of being a detective, as shown when she skips around and eagerly tries to do what she reads about Sherlock Holmes doing by "observing others and deducing" something about them by watching closely in attempts to notice something that everyone else is oblivious to.

In play B The Mystery of the Shiny Paper, Hannah seems upset at her previous hopes of being a detective because every time she tries to be observant, she can't find anything interesting or out of the ordinary that she would consider something deduced in a detective-like manner, leaving her feeling discouraged and unhappy, both of which were directly stated in text as the narrator gave Hannah direct characterization repeatedly.

(I apologize if this is wrong or too long or something, this was just my attempt at being logical '^^)

Answer:

<u>It might be met with skepticism, but it could lead to  great discoveries.</u>

Explanation:

Most of the time in the scientific community, new research is met with scrutiny as the people are wont to hold up tot he older tested models. Most of the new theories are rigorously tested by various number of scientists who then put it through scientific analysis. If the theory does hold up this, it becomes accepted. Scientific community only accepts such theories that pass the scrutiny but often the ones that do are the ones that bring real change into the field.
