Summary Of Could You Be The Next Sherlock By Kristen Lewis
It can be said that the author of "Could You Be the Next Sherlock?", Kristen Lewis, characterizes Sherlock Holmes as mindful. In the article "Could You Be the Next Sherlock?" Kristen Lewis repeatedly describes Sherlock as mindful and how it is a major factor in his mystery-solving abilities. For instance, "In psychology, mindfulness is defined as being alert and aware in the present moment, free from distractions. Mindfulness is what enables Sherlock to observe details that Watson doesn’t—and that most of us wouldn’t, either" (Lewis). This quote displays Lewis's reasoning behind her characterization of Sherlock as mindful. An example of Sherlock's mindfulness is in the adaptation of the “Red Headed League" by Arthur Goldwag when Sherlock says,

    Mise-En-Scene Analysis: Sherlock Jr.

    As we have discussed in class, mise-en-scene is all about what is staged and arranged in front of the camera: actors, props, setting, color, movement, costume, make-up, and more. Identify *three* significant, specific elements of mise-en-scene from the scene in SHERLOCK JR. (see link above). Then answer the following questions: 1) For each element you mention, write a little about its meaning, emotional impact, and significance to the story. 2) Discuss whether or not the film, *as a whole* (not just this one scene) appears to be controlled or uncontrolled in its use of mise en scene. If the total film is a mix of controlled and uncontrolled elements, state specifically which elements are controlled, and which are uncontrolled. (approx 500 words / 2 paragraphs)…

    Literature Review on Mindfulness-Based Therapy

    A frequently quoted working definition of mindfulness is the awareness to the unfolding of moment-to-moment experience that arises through “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally” (Kabat-Zinn, 1994, p. 4). The term “mindfulness” may be applied in several different ways: It can refer to a state of being aware, a psychological disposition, an activity aimed at improving mindfulness, such as mindfulness meditation, or a type of psychological processing (Bishop, Lau, Shapiro, Carlson, Anderson, Carmody, Segal, Abbey, Speca, Velting & Devins, 2004; Germer, Siegel, & Fulton, 2005; Kabat-Zinn, 1994; Sternberg, 2000).…

    Sherlock Holmes Accomplishments

    Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant, eccentric, and moody man who has been one of the most enduring figures in modern literature. Holmes is supposed to be a detective, but he’s actually a magician; that’s the key to his popularity. Many times in his stories, he comes up with results that seem magical. For example, in The Hound of the Baskervilles, all he has to do is LOOK at a walking stick, and then can give a complete physical description of its owner. His plots usually start off as a scary, inscrutable puzzle (usually murder), and end with him revealing the “elementary” answer and how he deduced it. The thing about Holmes is that he can always explain how he achieved his results, and that’s what makes his particular magic unique and so appealing.…

    Personal Narrative: Sherlock's House

    I stood on the patio, for some reason almost expecting for the door to magically open for me. I shook my head, chuckling at myself. I really had been spending too much time in the wizard world. Sherlock's house more or less looked the same to me. There were only slight adjustments here or there, a small chipped roof tile, a new paint job on one of the sides of the houses, some new bushes in the yard. Other than that, though, it was inherently the same house I had seen when I was a third-grader. It was as if stepping back into a portal into my childhood. At the same time, though it wasn't like that either. The house just seemed so much inherently smaller than I remembered, and a lot colder too. Perhaps though that was because I had grown up…

    Holmes Views On The Differences Between Holmes And Socrates

    Holmes also suggests on page seventy-eight: “Get yourself so completely saturated with a few basic principles, first, that they are firmly established in your mind and built into your thinking as habit.” A habit is a characteristic or mental trait, held firmly in mind and expressed without question or further deliberation. Like the traditional clothing worn by a monk or a nun, the habit expresses one’s beliefs and attitude toward life. The monk does not have to think about what he is going to wear, or what his appearance will be. His habit represents his commitment and vows; and ours would do as much, if we could just keep in mind the realization that this habit of thought represents. But be forewarned: anything you hold, can gain a hold…
