In writing the paper, I would look for:

2.    What in particular has been changed?
3.    Do they portray Holmes as a flawless hero, or does he have vulnerabilities?
4.    What are his values? Does he seem to agree with the status quo, or is he rebellious?
5.    Is Watson portrayed as smart or a fool?
6.    How are the villains portrayed?
7.    Does it have anything that particularly jumps out at you as being different? Why?
8.    Overall, what does this tell you about how the time period it was created in views Holmes differently?
