Which theme of sir arthur conan doyle’s "the adventure of the speckled band" is expressed in this excerpt from the story?

"were there gipsies in the plantation at the time? "

"yes, there are nearly always some there."

"ah, and what did you gather from this allusion to a band—a speckled band? "

"sometimes i have thought that it was merely the wild talk of delirium, sometimes that it may have referred to some band of people, perhaps to these very gipsies in the plantation. i do not know whether the spotted handkerchiefs which so many of them wear over their heads might have suggested the strange adjective which she used."

holmes shook his head like a man who is far from being satisfied.

a.

the importance of proof and logic

b.

the dangers of jumping to conclusions

c.

good versus evil

d.

england’s fascination with the east

because i have already answered your question several times, answering it again would be superfluous.

in the poem young by anne sexton and in the poem hanging fire by audre lorde, they both talk about being alone in their childhood. in young it talks about how she lived in a big house with 4 garages and how she layed in the grass at night. in hanging fire it talks about how she didnt like her body how she was scared she was going to die and her mom would be in the room with the door closed and she talks about how she had to learn to dance for the next party and how her room was too small. she also talks about (hanging fire) how she was alone and abanded and how people never toke her side and see how she truly feels about the world around her. in both poems they talk about when they were younger. both poems explain the side of a happy alone rich girls life in young and in hanging fire it talks about a girls who is poor and doesnt like her body..
