Arthur Conan Doyle

The most extensive assignment this year was writing a research paper on Arthur Conan Doyle. I wrote about his life from his childhood years to his writing career with the central focus of my paper being about how Doyle developed a more Spiritualistic view on life while aging. One realization that struck me during this writing process was that very few people research the authors they read about; therefore, many people overlook the vital relationships between authors and their stories. Author's portray their opinions on life, but these thoughts can be lost if the author's background and purpose for writing are not known. With this thought in mind, I can connect more to the English novels I read.
