The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

    The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was published in 1885. This story occurs during old New York times. It is told in third-person omniscient.

    There are 4 main characters. They are: Dr. Jekyll, a respected doctor; Mr. Hyde, the evil man; Mr. Utterson, an elderly lawyer;& Richard, young cousin of Mr. Utterson.

    When Mr. Utterson & his cousin, Richard, were going for a walk they notice a place where Richard saw Mr. Hyde.
Richard talks about what horrible things Mr. Hyde did; like how he ran into a little girl but instead of helping her started stepping on her.
Mr. Utterson finds out that Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde are the same people.
Dr. Jekyll writes his will to Mr. Hyde because he knows he's going to die but Mr. Hyde is not.
Dr. Jekyll dies & Mr. Hyde takes over.

    Robert Louis Stevenson appears to be subjective. Because he made it look at first like Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde are different people.

    The book caused a lot of emotions in me. I felt scarred when Mr. Hyde was trampling the little girl. When Mr. Hyde said he had a lot of money I thought for a second that he was also Dr. Jekyll. I was also made more aware of human nature when it told how Mr. Utterson was reacting to Richard's story. The characters seemed believable. I believed in it because multiple personalities is a real thing. I liked the part when they figured out Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde were the same people because it was interesting how they changed. This story has an enduring theme because it makes you wonder how did all this happen.

The ABC Murders

    The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie was first published in 1936. This story occurs during world depressions. The story is told in first-person observer as told by Hecule Poirot's friend, Hastings.

    There are 5 chief characters. They are Hercule Poirot, a famous detective; Captain Arthur Hastings, Hercule Poirot's old friend; Detective Chief Inspector James Harold Japp, another friend of Hercule; Alexander Bonaparte Cust, a travelling salesman who has an unfortunate name; and Franklin Clarke, (spoiler alert) the murderer.

    Hercule Poirot and his friend were having a laugh. But then they get a note. The note leads them to the murder of Alice Ascher. Then they find more notes written by the same person. Those notes lead them to the muders of Elizabeth "Betty" Barnard & Sir Carmicael Clarke. They find Alexander Bonaparte Cust and assume he's the muderer because the notes were signed, ABC. But then they figure out that he's innocent. Then they figure out that Franklin Clarke was the murderer.

    Agatha Christie is being objective because she made us think Alexander was the murderer.

    This book caused only a few emotions in me. I felt questionable when the murders were happening. When Alexander was brought to jail I felt unsure. I didn't think he could be the murderer.
I was also made more aware of human nature when the murders happened. The characters seem believable. I could relate to them because they were unsure at some parts too. I especially liked Franklin Clarke because he had a very good plan set out. This story has an enduring theme because it so interesting.
