Zona de confort

 ¿Porqué es necesaria la educación para hacer tus sueños realidad?

La mayoría de las personas no cumplen sus sueños o metas por miedo a salir de nuestra zona de confort, a fracasar, al que dirán, a la vergüenza, entre otras. Es por eso que es muy importante aprender a dominar los miedos y seguir el camino, que a eso venimos al mundo, a superarnos, y nada ni nadie nos debe detener si así lo queremos.

Detective Fiction

Detective storytelling in its various forms is one of the most important fields of work in contemporary English literature. As a successful fiction, the majority of the population reads it to some extent and has a large number of dedicated readers.

The detective story is one in which the primary interest is in the methodological uncovering of the exact situations of a mysterious event or sequence of events by rational means which primarily present an enigmatic problem relating to a crime.

In detective stories, the requirement is not a detailed script that moves immediately, or an unsolved mystery. Intellectual interest. A mystery exists, a crime or event has taken place, and the detective's task is to unravel the mixture of threads that surround reality in order to unravel the mystery, giving an initial mystery, the creator encourages the reader to use their own deductive powers, logic and reason for realizing the true course of events and, therefore, the final decision, a precedent for being conducted by his own detective.

There are 3 main resources in detective literature:

• The crime or event which forms the mystery basis for the story. The crime is usually murder, probably due to the extreme emotions that murder causes amongst the general public, and the wealth of motives, opportunities and methods available to the author. 

• The detective. This character may be someone with acute perception, unlimited knowledge, undaunted perseverance, which enables him to expose the criminal and to reveal the method by which the crime was committed.

• A series of observations and events, trivial, commonplace and apparently unconnected. The significance or lack of significance of these is discovered by the detective, who links them all into a chain of clues to lead him to the criminal and the final solution.

The appeal of detective fiction lies primarily in the fact that it is, in fact, an intellectual challenge or admiration for the speed of the detective. The reason for the secrecy must be a crime, or at least an attempted crime. Whatever the problem, whether solved by testing, is discovered rather than guessed. Interest in detective storytelling depends on awakening the reader's curiosity. Every detail of the plot must support and reinforce the firm decision to find out the decision.

The first detective story was Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the

Rue Morgue” (1841). The genre soon expanded to novel length. Sherlock Holmes, the first fictional detective to become a household name, first appeared in Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet (1887). The 1930s was the golden age of the detective novel, exemplified by the books of Dashiell Hammett. The introduction of mass-produced paperback books in the late 1930s made detective stories readily accessible to a wide public, and well-known fictional detectives were created by G.K. Chesterton, Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Raymond Chandler, Mickey Spillane, and Georges Simenon. Among present-day mystery writers P.D. James and Dick Francis rank high.

In this second term of the first semester of high school in literature class we have focused on short stories, on the genre of detective fiction. The first story we read was "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", from Edgar Allan Poe.

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is very important for detective fiction since it’s the first detective story, it was written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1841, and that’s how he launched the new genre of detective fiction. The noun detective didn’t even exist at the time Poe wrote this story, it was only a relatively recent profession. Poe refers to it in one of his “tales of ratiocination”, a rational activity of a man who pays close attention to his surroundings and people inhabit them. Poe wrote it in a time when crime was at the forefront in people’s minds due to urban development. London recently established its first professional police force and American cities were beginning to to focus on scientific police work as newspapers reported murders and criminal trials. And it's about how a woman and her daughter were killed by an orangutan, I completely recommend it.

The second story we read was “Hunted Down”, from Charles Dickens

“Hunted Down” was written by Charles Dickens in 1859, Dickens was inspired by the Dr. William Palmer, by his killer psychology. Dr. Palmer was a respectable professional man and scientist who murdered his own family for the life-insurance money. In order to cover his Staffordshire racing debts, Palmer even began poisoning his associates of the turf. Palmer's demeanor throughout a trial fascinates Dickens, who notes the fact of the poisoner's "complete self-possession, of his constant coolness, of his profound composure, of his perfect equanimity." "Curiously, this is also a description which Dickens liked to give of himself”. And this story talks about the murder of Mr. Slinkton's niece that he himself killed to get his insurance. Great Tale.

The third and last story we read was "The 5 Orange Pips” from Arthur Conan Doyle.

“The 5 Orange Pips” was written by Arthur Conan Doyle and it was published in 1891 by the Strand Magazine, it provides further insight into the character of Sherlock Holmes. In all the previous cases the superiority of Holmes has been evident, but in this case, Holmes is shown not to be infallible, and to a certain degree fails in bringing the case to a conclusion. The story also shows for the first time that Holmes is not just cold and logical, but also from time to time, he also displays anger.  The pips were a symbolic death threat. In this story Holmes tries to find out who was sending the letter with the 5 orange pips inside to Openshaw's house, and who was behind the mysterious deaths of John, Elias and Joseph Openshaw. Very interesting story.

The detective fiction genre is highly popular and accommodates a wide range of readers, from school children to intellectuals. The clear beginning and the closure at the end, unlike most modern fiction, is part of its appeal. In these stories, order is restored by rooting out the cause of evil, unlike the ambiguities and complexities of real life. And most importantly, justice always prevails and the resounding moral of detective fiction is that crime never pays.
