This book is the forth book in the Young Sherlock Holmes series. The protagonist in this series is Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is a 14 year old boy who has solved a number of crimes. In this story his tutor Mr.Crowe and his daughter Virginia is kidnapped by a unknown. Before he discovered that he went to his aunt and uncles place and finds out that Mrs.Eglantine has been threatening his uncle about Sherlock's father and she will tell about it to the world if Sherlock's aunt and uncle don't pay her on a monthly basis. Sherlock solves that with his friend Matty by finding out by seeing that Mrs.Eglantine is seeing a black mailer Josh Harkness. Sherlock and Matty finds that Josh has boxes full of black mailing information. Then Matty and Sherlock find a way to destroy the information. After they destroyed the information they go back to Sherlock's  aunt and uncle's house and tells them about Mrs. Eglantine and Josh Harkness. Then they go to Mr.Crowe's house and finds out that Mr.Crowe and Virginia are kidnapped.

I think that the antagonist is Mrs. Elgantine because she blackmailed Sherlock's aunt and uncle and she sounds like she hates them and especially hates Sherlock. I also think that she kidnapped Virginia and her father because she wanted to get back at Sherlock. Tough the antagonist hasn't be said.

Protagonist and Antagonist- Murder on the Orient Express

Murder on the Orient Express

Agatha Christie

Pg. 275/347

The protagonist in the novel I am reading is Hercule Poirot. Hercule Poirot is a retired Belgian police officer, working as a private detective. He is described as a short, round man with an egg shaped head, green eyes and a mustache. He is a detective bestowed with astounding intellect.  He has solved numerous crimes and murders from all over the world that have baffled the police. He believes that the greatest tool for solving crimes is the mind.  He stated that in order to solve a crime one must only sit back and think. Unlike many other detectives, Poirot does not rely on such methods as examining fingerprints and collecting cigarette ash, but rather the psychology behind the case. He observes the possible motives of the suspects, their feelings and behavior.  He is very observant and intellectual, although he is very vain and prideful about his success. When solving a case, he takes into consideration every single detail, even those that may seem unimportant, and that other detectives would not pay attention to. He is a great believer of order and method, and pays attention to, and suspects everyone until the crime is solved. 

The antagonists in the story are Ratchett and a group of people on the train that gathered and organized the murder of Ratchett.

Ratchett is supposedly an American business man. He attempts to manipulate  Poirot  by pretending he is a victim and that some nasty people are after his life.  Poirot is suspicious, and refuses to help, but keeps this case in mind.  Ratchett shows Poirot the threatening letters that he himself prepared in order to use Poirot for his own protection.  We learn later that he was involved in a murder case, involving a young girl, but that he escaped the justice. The fear that he has for his own life is justified,  as later in the book he really gets killed. 

Having examined the wounds on Ratchett’s body, Poirot deduces that there must be more than one murderer and that the murderers must still be on the train.  These suspected, but unknown murderers are the other antagonists in the story.  However, at this stage, we are not aware of their true identity. They are smart and manage to mislead Poirot, by placing various clues.  Poirot has a task to identify them. Poirot becomes suspicious of all the passengers on the train, since their stories match but do not seem logical to him.

I think that the Russian Princess had something to do with the crime, because there is a link between her and the Armstrong family, and the possible motive could be revenge. Another passenger on the train I suspect is Mary Debenhem, because Poirot overheard her make a suspicious remark to one of the other passengers, and when asked for an explanation, she refused to explain.

The Clocks by Agatha Christie

The Clocks

By Matija

My book has 320 pages but I am reading it online, A4 pages 27/215

The protagonist and narator of this novel is a young man named Colin Lamb. He was trying to find a particular house when a girl went out from a house screaming and bumped into him. The pages I have read up to now revealed no physical treats of him but I can say he is inquisive man who notices lot of details wherever he goes. He is very positive and has a hunch towards the people. For instance, he was sure the screaming girl is telling the truth. He is a friend of a detective that investigates the case so he talks about all he witnissed freeley.

The story revealed up to now lot of strange details. None of the characters that we met seem interested nor connected with the victome. If I should make a wild guess antagonist would be a coworker in the office where Sheila Webb, the girl who found dead man’s body works.

Protagonist

The protagonist in the novel I am reading is named Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is a "consulting detective"  based in London, whose deduction abilities are stupefying. Holmes, is known for is perspicacious logical skills, and scientific knowledge, which he uses to solve complex cases.

Sherlock Holmes is taller than six feet, he is quite lean, and he walks quite energetically and briskly. His senses are extremely developed. His hair is raven black, and he is known for wearing a peculiar hat, a long loose coat, smoking a pipe and carrying a magnifying glass.

In The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock is described as bohemian, he is an eccentric, he has no regard for cleanliness or good order. Sometimes he does not speak for days on end, and others times he is intensely engaged in a complex case or pursuing his hobbies. He is a sociopath, he has almost no social ability, Holmes does not know how to make friends, and has no clue about human emotions, beyond that which can be studied. He often comes off as rude, cruel, or cold hearted, because he has no interest in emotions, and makes no effort to protect others. He has a very addictive personality.

Antagonist

The antagonist in the novel I am reading is behind all the crimes that Sherlock solves and is named Moriarty. Professor Moriarty is described by Holmes as the “Napoleon of all crime”, he is a most brilliant criminal mastermind, Holmes has ever met. He is extremely intelligent, calculative, manipulative and cunning. His ruthlessness, intellect, grandiosity, and lack of empathy make it fair to say that he is a psychopath and sociopath. He sees humans as either obstacles which have to be destroyed, or pawns that should be manipulated. He is extremely resilient and perseverant. Moriarty, suffers a superiority complex, he is overconfident, precocious and arrogant.

                                         Prologue

In The beginning of the book Mycroft Homes brother of Sherlock Homes got news that Sherlock was kidnaped in a farnham and transported in a drugged state  to London. From there he was loaded on to a ship named the Gloria Scott. After there news drive that the ship has set sail for China and that he was kindnaped by the Pardol Chamber which was pretty obvious because Sherlock said that he was usually in a conflict with them. In conclusion Mycroft homes won't help Sherlock because he thinks that he could cause more trouble by sending navy ships to go get him so he just said that Sherlock is on his own and that he will find his way out as usual.

The protagonist: The protagonist in this story is Sherlock homes. He is the detective of all major crimes in London and some around the world. The Antagonist: I read only the Prologue and Chapter 1 and for I know that the Antagonist is the Pardol Chamber because they kidnaped sherlock homes and they sent him to a ship which is heading to China.

Public Enemy Number Two

                    Public Enemy Number Two

      

Who is protagonist: The protagonist in this story is a boy named Nicholas (Nick). He is a 13 year old boy who hates school. From where I stopped he was asked by two agents to go to prison and try to search about a boy named Johnny, but that was his choose, he said no. The agents was surprise but then they said to think about it. I think that he will say, yes because then how will the author continue the story.

Who is the antagonist: I did not read the whole book but I think I can guess who it is. I think it is Johnny because from where I read he seemed like the bad guy. Johnny is fifteen, he stole many stuff in the past. But one day he stole 1 billion dollar but the police got him. But in that age he could not be in prison so they sent him to a another prison witch is why the agents are asking Johnny, but even I still don't know why they asked him.

Death Cloud- Andrew Lane

Death Cloud
Book by Andrew Lanes
Pages:311

Death Cloud is the first novel in the Sherlock Holmes series. The protagonist is Sherlock Holmes. He is a shy 14 year old boy. On a short break from the boarding school, he stays with his aunt and uncle, in their big house in Hamshire. When 2 local people in Hamshire die from symptoms resembling the plague. He and his new tutor Amyus Crowe start investigating this mystery and found out that the 2 men did not die because of the natural causes.
I think the antagonist in the book is a sly and a clever man. I can't still make a guess of who the antagonist is because there are only few characters introduced in the book till now, and I don't suspect any of them to murder someone. Judging on what it says on the blurb, I thought of the personality of the antagonist.
