In this extract, Doyle presets the hound as a heinous, horrific creature that haunts the moor.  The sight of the beast initiates a "yell of terror". The word "terror" suggests trepidation and panic. The word "yell" is often associated with fright and fear. This suggests this piercing sound is a cry for help and indicates that not even a professional of his calibre could withstand the formidable sight. The effect on the reader is the creation of a terrorizing image of the creature in the reader's mind. The author's intentions are to establish a sense of fear and suspense in the reader and to create a tense atmosphere. The author utilized the auditory imagery to enable the reader to visualize themselves in the characters' situation and to empathize with them. An alternative interpretation can be that Lestrade yells due to another death, which is quite common in this novel and fits into its context. It can also foreshadow future negative events.

The characters are introduced to the "enormous coal-black hound" as it sprung out at them. The word "enormous" suggests that the beast was abnormally huge which puts the characters in a dangerous situation. the colour black connotes death which indicates that the monster is capable of obliterating anything in sight. The use of 'coal' suggests that the beast is able and will leave a mark. The fact that Doyle utilizes these powerful adjectives to describe the hound suggests that the beast is aggressive, violent and dangerous. It also illustrates the fact that the hound is bloodthirsty and set out to kill. This creates a unsettling and tense atmosphere for the reader as they visualize the danger the characters are in. The hound is described to be "more savage, more appalling, more hellish" than anything human eyes have seen.]]> 2019-05-19 08:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/HOTBCHAP14/wish/361461887 https://padlet.com/sdonegan/HOTBCHAP14/wish/361461888 Doyle presents the hound as a terrifying and destructive creature.As the beast came upon them, Watson describes it as an "enormous coal- black hound".The word "enormous"means to be large.

In this extract, Doyle presents the hound as heinous and malicious.  When Watson sees the beast he admits that nobody could've thought of something "more savage, more appalling, more hellish" than the dreadful hound he had just encountered. The repeated use of the word "more" gives the reader a sense of panic and creates tension that is strengthened due to the use of powerful adjectives which imply that the hound can't compare to anything in this world.  Through the use of this device, Doyle intends to create a tense atmosphere by emphasizing the negative adjectives that evoke fear and also implying that the creature exceeds all of those descriptions. The reader is also able to visualize the beast through the use of visual imagery. Doyle's description of the "enormous-coal black hound"  connotes to the inevitable stain that coal leaves; therefore implying that the creature would leave a mark on the characters' lives.  The reader also associates the colour black with death and negativity making them question what the outcome of this sudden attack  will be, but also enabling them to foreshadow that something negative will happen. Because of the connotations the hound has with the colour black.]]> 2019-05-19 08:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/HOTBCHAP14/wish/361461900 elena_vanderwal https://padlet.com/sdonegan/HOTBCHAP14/wish/361462494 How does Doyle present the hound in the extract?

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle presents the hound as a demonic, infernal beast. The utilisation of "more savage, more appalling, more hellish" in the extract creates a tense and horrific atmosphere through the use of  negative adjectives which fabricate a sense of fear and desperation on the character. This makes the reader feel nervous and frightened for the character as they're in immanent danger. The word "hellish" is associated with hell and the devil which is also connotated with evil and darkness.]]> 2019-05-19 08:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/HOTBCHAP14/wish/361462494
