Based on the movie Sherlock Holmes, I satisfied with the ending of the movie. The case was fully investigated. The devil of the story lastly was died. I like the way they solved the problem by doing many experiments. I think the ending of the story should more dramatic for example Irene Adler had to be free from the contract of the criminal then she can marry with Sherlock Holmes to manage Holmes daily life well-organised.

Three Sisters Of Sz by Tan Kok Seng
This story is about a family live in Penang that have three daughters. The eldest and the youngest are Western-educated while the middle is Chinese-educated. The theme of this novel is the conflict between these two different kinds of education and when there is little or no parental control and love. Mrs Sz is an inverterate gambler. She has no interest in her home, her daughters are left to grow up on their own.
This main character is related to me when the parents are not interupt in my own decision which is in education. They always agree and accept any of my decision. But at least my parents care about my sisters and I.
