Character sketch of Sherlock Holmes :
The best character that had made an impact on me from fiction was “Sherlock Holmes”.
He is an extraordinary personality and a modern hero. The dressing gown, loose coat,
hips and his investigation skills are the things that come to my mind, when I think about him. His high intelligence and his creative imagination are his best traits. His workaholic nature is one of his best qualities. Sherlock Holmes character was created by the Scottish writer “Arthur Conan Doyle”. He is a detective who tries to find out who committed crimes. In the story “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”, Helen Stoners twin sister, Julia dies from an unknown cause, shortly before being married. Helen takes this case to Sherlock Holmes. Using his powers of observation, intelligence and perseverance, Holmes races to find the murderer. So this character had an immense impact on me.

He could gather information from it and gain knowledge. Rani, Gladin’s sister was frightened of something. When enquired by her father, she informed him that someone chatted with her and used bad words. The person had warned her not to discuss about the chat to anyone. Otherwise, he would cause harm to her family members.

Her father advised her not to respond to any of his messages. After some days, he would not chat. If the person bothered further, her father would report to the cyber police. Her father also advised the children not to chat with the strangers. They should keep all their personal details very private. They should not get addicted to the power house of entertainment.
