In at least three paragraphs, explain how Doyle's personal life impacted his creation and writing of Sherlock Holmes. The more details you include, the higher your grade will be.
You may only use the notes you took yesterday for reference. 

The Hound of the Baskervilles is written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a Catholic, in the year of 1902. Doyle has written many mystery books and stories; his favorite writer was  an American Poet named Edgar Allen Poe. When Doyle was just a boy, his father was an artist and designer. Arthur grew to be an adult at the sight of his father becoming a violent alcoholic. Having dyslexia, Doyle's father was a great artist but was forced into an asylum by his son and Brian Charles Wallop. 

Around the time that Arthur Conan Doyle got out of school, he found a wife and was looking for a doctor's office to buy out. Doyle had no luck with this so he decided to start up his own practice. The practice did not start off on the right foot considering the fact that he enjoyed the thought of spiritualism, which is a belief that one can communicate with the dead. Doyle grew up a Catholic but got interested in spiritualism and it changed his way of life. After Doyle's first marriage did not work out, he found another lady and decided to marry her, only to know that she is his sister. There were many questions to whether or not Arthur Conan Doyle did this out of love or guilt. The good thing was that he was a kind-hearted, loyal man that stuck to his word. 

The 1890's was a big decade for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle because these were the first years of "Sherlock Holmes" in mystery stories. France had the top crime catcher weapon early on because of the use of finger prints. After the story The Strand, Doyle ended Sherlock Holmes' life. A year after The Hound of the Baskervilles was published, Doyle brought the Sherlock Holmes stories back. 

Arthur Conan Doyle also wrote The Adventure of the Empty House; and met Jean Lecky afterwards. He soon fell in love with her. Doyle picked up a hobby of designing uniforms for battles. In the year 1916, he publicly announced spiritualism. A few years later, Doyle's son died of influenza, which was a popular disease during his life.
