31 Dynamic Character Dynamic Characters: characters who undergo change from the beginning of the story. They usually learn something about themselves.

32 Static Character Static Characters: Characters who stay the same. They are used to give us information about the character, allow us to see how the main character to reacts, or to move the plot forward.

33 Mystery Mystery is a genre of fiction in which a detective, either an amateur or a professional, solves a crime or a series of crimes. The detective may be a private investigator, a policeman, an elderly widow, or a young girl, but he or she generally has nothing material to gain from solving the crime.

34 Red Herring A red herring is a detail or remark inserted into a discussion, either intentionally or unintentionally, that sidetracks the discussion. The red herring is invariably irrelevant and is often emotionally charged.

35 Archetype An original model or pattern from which other later copies are made, especially a character, an action, or situation that seems to represent common patterns of human life. Often, archetypes include a symbol, a theme, a setting, or a character

36 Similarities between Holmes and Rhyme
A computer collection of information. Knows the city of New York even to its different soils. (Pearl Street) Police captain uses Rhyme for his skills in analysis and deduction but dislikes acknowledging the Rhyme is superior. A rolodex of information (Scandal in Bohemia). Knows the city of London even to its different soils. Police captain uses Holmes for his skills in analysis and deduction but dislikes acknowledging the Holmes is superior.

37 Similarities between Holmes and Rhyme
Has a vast knowledge of past crimes. Has Donaghy to direct and bounce ideas off of. A cold detachment (e.g., asking Donaghy to process the body and cut off the hands of Mrs. Rubin.) Has a vast knowledge of past crimes. Has Watson to direct and bounce ideas off of. A cold detachment (views a murder without emotion-is able to “test” things out on himself as well as others.)

38 Differences between Holmes and Rhyme
Is able to personally investigate the crime scenes. cases dealt with theft, deception, blackmail, & occasionally murder. Watson was a doctor and had no knowledge of Holmes’ profession and one of his skills. He is an objective observer. Is restricted to his bed and must rely on others to gather clues on his direction. cases deal with serial killers and murderers. Donaghy is trained as a policeman. She has knowledge of forensics and is actively involved in the crime investigation.
