Sherlock Holmes

About a hundred years ago Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote lots of exciting stories and novels.

Doyle was the inventor of Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective. Together with his friend

Dr Watson, Holmes lived in a flat at 221B Baker Street, London. Holmes was over six feet tall

and so thin that he looked taller than that. His hobbies were smoking a pipe, reading and playing

the violin, but his job was looking for criminals. When he tried to find one, he watched everything

and everyone very carefully. After some time he always found the criminal because Holmes was a

real mastermind.

In his most famous case, Holmes had to go to Dartmoor in the west of England. In 1742 a

terrible dog killed Sir Hugo Baskerville. After that the Baskervilles didn’t go to the moor

at night.

Hundreds of years later, after a black dog killed Sir Charles Baskerville, the people of Baskerville

called Sir Sherlock Holmes. He was very frightened there because a terrible dog howled

loudly every night. There were scary figures and noises all over the place, too. But after

some time Holmes found out that it wasn’t a dog that killed Sir Charles Baskerville but

a man whose name was Stapleton.

Characterisation of a picture

The advert targets young consumers. It is the male consumers who are mainly targeted. The design of the advert focuses on the sexiness of the product. Information (about the price e.g.) plays an inferior role. The attributes of the model in the center of the advert evoke associations of a racy, speedy, graceful vehicle (legs!). The woman's silky gloves suggest smoothness, comfort and luxury. The woman's body language evokes the illusion of an upmarked lifestyle: the consumer is supposed to buy a luxury lifestyle with this car. Every inch of the woman's attitude suggests: I'm special! (What is) The function of the puppy in the picture(?) is (-) it provides the car with characteristics which he likes: cuteness, softness, cuddliness, incense-all at the consumer's disposal. The advert suggests that nature can be ideally combined with technology. The position of the "mini" in the picture is an ironical allusion to the name of the product, it is also a cheeky appeal to people's unconscious sexual fantasies.
