. =<&" &" >+,*< ?@ 5+&-*".
Writing Prompt:
Using the three adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes story entitled A Scandal in Bohemia that we have read and
watched in class, you will create an essay in which you identify the similarities and differences between the A
Scandal in Bohemia short story, the Scandal in Belgravia film, and the Jeremy Brett A Scandal in Bohemia
film.

Some questions to think about when forming an argument (thesis statement):
What claim are you trying to make through the differences/similarities you bring to our attention?
Why do you think the adaptations were created as they were?
What themes do they address?

Guidelines
Write 500-750 words, double-spaced, using a readable font like Times New Roman, Courier, or Arial,
following MLA style.
Choose one prompt. Make sure that your writing answers the prompt directly. Do not, for example, ignore
the prompt and write about what you want.
Please avoid using first person I and second-person you. Also, use present-tense verbs (called the
literary present). For example, do not write Holmes went to Briony Lodge to find Ms. Adler. Instead,
write Holmes then goes to Briony Lodge to find Ms. Adler.
Cite the three versions in the following ways:
o (Doyle 4) for the short story, including a page number.
o (A Scandal in Bohemia) for the episode involving Jeremy Brett and David Burke.
o (A Scandal in Belgravia) for the BBC episode with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
Make sure to write a clear thesis in your first paragraph. It should answer the prompt directly, and it should
give an ordered summary of the main points of your argument.
Back up your main points with specific references to the three stories.
Absolutely do not summarize the plot. Simply refer to events, characters, dialogue, etc. that help you
compare and contrast the pieces.
Be sure to proofread carefully for grammatical and punctuation errors.
Please see the document Writing Short Essays on the Shared Drive if you would like further advice on
writing essays.

Prompts (choose ONE of the following)
1. Identify the similarities and differences in Irene Adlers characterization.
2. Identify the similarities and differences in Sherlock Holmess deductive reasoning about people, events,
crimes etc.
3. Identify the similarities and differences in setting (not only the larger setting (England) but Holmes and
Watsons personal space, where they work etc.).
4. Identify the similarities and differences in the relationship between Holmes and Watson.

1. Introduction
