How to keep a good relationship with parents

In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out.

He is a character from Writer Conan Doyle’s books. Since he created Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures, one after another.

In the books, Holmes is thin and tall. He often wears a cap and long coat. He thinks and speaks very fast. He smokes and plays the violin. He is good at watching and analyzing (分析) things. He also knows a lot about chemistry.

But Holmes is lonely and unhappy. He is arrogant and often speaks to others impolitely. It seems that no one likes him except Watson. They are close friends and good partners. They trust each other and help each other out of danger.

People look to Sherlock for both adventure and logical(邏輯)thinking. Each adventure shows us an exciting journey. In the journey, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for truth.

Yet Holmes is no Superman. He can’t fly or have super power. But his powers are within of us: reason and logical thinking. While an artist’s painting is his art, Sherlock’s art is his cleverness. He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.
