Industrial Revolution (word) Claudia Z., Lia G. and Marc M.
THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
The Industrial Revolution is a historical period of economic and social transformation, between 1760 and 1840, which unleashed unprecedented changes for societies around the world.
It was characterized by the use of new technologies applied to mass production. The first invention that allowed this new form of production was the steam engine, whose fuel was coal.
The beginning of the Industrial Revolution was in England since that country presented the economic, political, social and technological conditions necessary for this great change. By the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution was already part of the societies of Europe, the United States and Japan.
Characteristics:
Large-scale industrial production, especially of food
The dominance of the bourgeoisie over the economy and politics, replacing the absolute power of the nobility and giving rise to the social class of the proletariat.
The development of new industries such as textiles, iron and steel (metals) or mining.
The substitution of iron for steel, a harder and more resistant material.
The development of global trade (due to large production capacity and innovations in land and sea transport).
Stages:
The industrial Revolution It was divided into two stages: the first from 1750 to 1840, and the second from 1880 to 1914. All these changes brought with them consequences such as:
Demographic: The population moved from the countryside to the city and increased.
Economic: Capitalism developed and large companies appeared.
Social: The proletariat and the social question are born.
Environmental: The environment deteriorates and the exploitation of the land begins.
Changes in society:
Due to the industrial revolution, society was divided into two fundamental classes: the bourgeoisie or the middle-class: owner of the means of production (factories, machinery, land, etc) and the proletariat or working class: without properties and forced to work for the bourgeoisie.
The peasants ended up going to the cities to work in the factories and making cities grow rapidly.
The enormous development of the economy brought an increase in the wealth of the owners of the industries, and increased the poverty of the workers.
(This characteristic in the production model is still manifested in the current economy, as well as the degradation of resources due to the exploitation).
Mining: miners and wives:
In the Industrial Revolution, coal was essential for steam engines.
The living conditions of the miners were bad. They work long hours, the security conditions in the factories and mines were very bad and they didn’t have medical insurance.
The Industrial Revolution made women highly valued due to their skill in many tasks, especially in the textile sector. But this change didn’t help the lives of women. They increased their salaries and their recognition but working in those conditions made him damage his body quickly.
They become workers with the same hours as men, but receiving the minimum salary.
Like children, who work since they were young in factories.
Sherlock Holmes (word) Gemma F., Aïda L. and Idoia B.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are two fictional characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Holmes served as a detective for twenty-three years, of which he shared with Watson seventeen.

Was a famous detective, he never existed.
He lives in this house with his friend Dr.Watson.

He is not very orderly in his daily routine, he is very skilled at dressing up, smokes a pipe, plays the violin masterfully, is an expert beekeeper, an excellent boxer and has a great scientific knowledge, especially in chemistry.
He is a private fiction detective created in 1887 by the British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He stands out for his intelligence, his skilful use of observation and deductive reasoning to resolve difficult cases.He's an advisory detective, tall, thin, cold, ironic, ingenious, and restless.
(En un principio se iba a llamar Sherrinford).

Characters based on real people
The character's name was a tribute to one of Arthur's childhood idols, the physician and philosopher Oliver Wendell Holmes (he was born in 1809 and died in 1904). He is one of the most recognized American writers of the 19th century.
But the character and work methodology of the detective are inspired by another real person, Dr. Joseph Bell (born in 1847 and 1911) known for his capacity for observation.
COMPARISON WITH TV SERIES AND FILMS
Throughout the years, cinema and television have given us different, if not infinite, versions of the famous detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his charismatic and inseparable companion, Doctor Watson.
SERIES
The Sherlock Holmes series produced by Mark Gattis and Steven Moffat, which can now be seen by Netflix, presents a dynamic and refreshing image of the classic Sherlock, although unlike previous productions, it is set in 21st century London.
The Holmes of our time is a loner, a reader, a musician and a computer scientist willing to use new modern technologies such as GPS, locators, telephones, the Internet and everything that can be used today, although without neglecting the main feature of the original Holmes, the observation.
While the Holmes of the film has a hyperkinetic, fighter and eccentric look.
‘Elementary’ is a CBS series created by Robert Doherty in 2012 that features a contemporary Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) living in New York alongside a Watson played by Lucy Liu. Yes, the original part is that Watson is a woman. The series follows the typical self-conclusive (CSI) pattern of solving mysteries in each chapter.
FILMS
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' (Alfred L. Werker, 1939)
Its plot is partially based on the play Sherlock Holmes by William Gillette. The intention of the producer, Darryl F. Zanuck, was in this film to show the greatest virtues and characteristics of Holmes such as his fondness for the violin, his deductive reasoning or his addiction to morphine.
The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1959, Terrence Fisher)
Despite being a high-quality adaptation, it has many more freedoms and differences from the original story especially in the relationship between Mr. de Baskerville and Miss Stapleton.

Jack the Ripper [word] - Laia Y. and Paula M.
1- Biography Jack the Ripper
Jack the ripper, more known as the best killer in history, his case nowadays is open. The dates when he was born and he died are unknown, the investigation still continues.
His history began when this character killed women and is unknown why. The investigators recreated scenes of the different cases to know how the women were killed.
2- Cases of murdered womens
Jack The Ripper, was the murderer of at least five women, all prostitutes, near the Whitechapel district of London’s East End. This happened between August and November of 1888. This case is one of the most unsolved mysteries of English crime.
The first one was Mary Nichols, her body was found at 3:40 am, on August 31st 1888. The location is in Buck’s Row, Whitechapel.
Charles Cross found the woman's body way to work. He found the body under a blanket, seeing a blanket from a distance but as he got closer he realized it was the silhouette of a woman stretched out and thought that she could be dead or drunk. He uncovered the blanket and with two men who also approached to see what was happening, they realized that the woman was almost dead.
The second victim is Annie Chapman whose body was found in 29 Hanbury Street, Spitalfields at 6 am, september 8th, 1888. She was 47 years old at the time of her death, and had been living at Crossingham's lodging house where she paid eight pence a night. She appears to have a cordial relationship with the other tenants. At some moment in the month before her death, (different persons, witnesses remembered different dates) there was a discussion between Annie and the lodger Eliza Cooper.
After Annie Chapman, Jack the Ripper killed Elizabeth Stride. It happened at 1 am, the same month as Annie, on the 30th. The location is in Dutfield’s Yard, Barner Street, Whitechapel. Before 6am John Davis, an elderly resident came downstairs, walked along the small corridor and opened the back door. The view that met his eyes sent emotional horror. A few moments later, two workmen walking followed him along the corridor and looking into the back, they saw the mutilated body of Annie Chapman. Her head was turned looking at the house and her clothes on the floor unloap to her waist, exploring her stockings.
The next one, unfortunately, was Catherine Eddowes, which was found at 1:45 am, September 30th at the same year as the others. This happened in Mitre Square, City of London. When the police found his body in his own room, they saw everything tidy, the murderer was very merciful.
Aside these victims, there are more: Annie Millwood, Ada Wilson, Emma Smith, Marth Tabram, Whithall Mystery, Annie Farmer, Rose Mylett, Elizabeth Jackson, Alice Mackenzie, Pinchin st.Murder, Frances Coles, Carrie Brown.
3- Investigate and possible authors.
After that, we have a really big list of people who are possible authors of being Jack the Ripper, all of them are men. As you can see, it’s a really big list and we still don't know which one of them is the author of those murders that we saw before.
Whose names are: Prince Albert Victor, Joseph Barnett, Alfred Napier Blanchard, W.H. Bury, Levis Carroll, David Cohen, Dr. T. Neill Cream, Frederick Deeming, Montague John Druitt, Carl Feigenbaum, Fogelma, George Hutchinson,Hyam Hyams, Jill the ripper, ...
4- Films
· Jack The Ripper: The London Slasher (2016).
· The Lodger (2009).
· Jack's Back (1988).
· From Hell (2001).
· The Lodger: A Story Of The London Fog (1927).
· Jack The Ripper (1988).
· Whitechapel (2009 - 2013).
· Ripper Street (2012 - 2016).
5- Conclusion.
Jack the ripper, supposedly, committed suicide just after Mary Jane Kelly’s death.
However, if we take Mary Jane Kelly’s death on 9th November 1888 as the last Ripper murder, then the first and most obvious suspect is a 31-year-old. His body was found floating in the River Thames on 30th December 1888 following reports of him being missing for over a month. Anyway, it’s said that he committed suicide.
By a strange coincidence, the Ripper always attacks at the start and at the end of the month.
Mary Kelly was murdered on 9th November, and if we follow that pattern it should have been another murder around the 29th or 30th of November.
Most likely is that Druitt killed himself around this period.
Maybe The Ripper was committed to an asylum because it’s said that police caught him because the family noticed that he was crazy and quickly had him locked away from the people.
