conflicts/problems

Well, there was a lot of conflict and problems in this story so I choose the one that was more important to the story, the one's that flows through the end. One of the major conflicts in this story is when Hamish Macbeth and Elspeth Grant break up and she goes out with another guy named Luke. They broke up because she didn’t have any feelings for him. It was only Hamish and Elspeth who were involved. Well, it did not get resolved because Elspeth stayed with Luke and Hamish stayed with a woman named Gloria Price. The second major conflict in the story is when Crystal shot Hamish Macbeth in the chest. Crystal shot Hamish Macbeth because she did not want him to figure out that she killed Shona Frasier and Mrs. Gillespie. The people who were involved in this conflict were Crystal and her husband and Hamish Macbeth. It was resolved because Hamish Macbeth was alive and survived and the police took Crystal and her husband to jail for the murder of Shona Frasier and Mrs. Gillespie. The third major conflict in the story is when Hamish Macbeth is trying to get back with Elspeth. The reason why this happened is because they both were really meant together but, they both realize that together they need someone else to understand each other and not just to be together and act different. Another reason is because during when they were talking, Luke was hearing and he felt sad and happy at the same time. The people who are involved in this scene is Hamish, Elspeth, and Luke. Well, it kind of got resolved. The results were that Luke and Elspeth are together and Hamish and Gloria are together. At the end, they all go to eat at a restaurant and represent each other and celebrate their love to each other. (311 words)



Dear Friend

Dear Hamish Macbeth,
Well, first I would like to say hi and here are few words I would like to tell you in this letter why I think you are the best Male crime investigator and an F.B.I. You are the best crime investigator and an F.B.I agent. You are a brave, courageous, and strong man. When I heard about that witch that beat you up and then later who did something wrong, I can't believe that witch thought it was right for her to shot you in your chest but thank god that you survived, twice. I was super shocked. I am glad that the witch went to jail with her husband. Hamish Macbeth, if you weren't there during that time, nobody couldn't investigate on this murder case. You were awesome there. When that witch lied all the times, you had that face like what you are thinking. I know sometimes you can feel depressed and sometimes you can feel happy but, you know you can accomplish everything. Sometimes you need to understand everything and you need to know and understand first. Well, you can achieve it. Don’t worry about any terrible things that happen around you, everything will be taking care of. There will not be anything stopping you okay. I know sometimes you can be a little annoying and sometimes you can be fun but, there is sometimes when Elspeth can be controlling you or something like that. Before I could end this letter I can just give you nice thoughts about you. Even though you can be the best one, just think about what I said and you could probably tell someone what I told you in this letter. Well, I got to go and I’ll see you later. Bye,
P.S remember this! Hope you accomplish your dreams!!!
Sincerely Your fan,
Cristina Perez

Death of a maid

Well what I remember throughout the whole story it was incredible. The title of the book is called Death of a maid. Hamish Macbeth is the main character of this story. He is a criminal investigator and an F.B.I Agent throughout this whole story. He has a cat named Sonsie. Well, this all crazy disaster had happen in a city called Lochdubh, Scotland. He got a case that a woman named Mrs. Gillespie had died and later, this other woman died named Shona Frasier. Hamish Macbeth wins Mrs. Gillespie’s services in a church raffle. He and his crew have to help and investigate .Mrs. Gillespie was a maid. Everyone who wanted to hired a maid didn't wanted to hired Mrs. Gillespie because they heard a lot of rumors about that she is most likely to look into people's stuff and be a little nosy. She has made a lot of damages into people's stuff than she clearly dusts. While all this disaster happens, he has other things to do. He is always thinking about his former girlfriend, Elspeth Grant. Elspeth is now back in the village for a holiday celebration with her new boyfriend, Luke, and Hamish is a little jealous when he sees them together. Every time Elspeth and her new boyfriend are together in a place, he remembers when he and Elspeth were right there and doing the same usual stuff. Day and days have passed by and he noticed that a television crew plans to do a documentary on Hamish. Well, right now, Hamish Macbeth must really worried a lot is that he needs to investigate this case before this killer on the loose goes on and kills more. Actually, Mrs. Gillespie has another job then being a maid and that is to be a blackmailer. Many people did not know about the idea of her being a blackmailer. The idea of becoming a blackmailer had led to her to a lot of trouble. When Mrs. Gillespie died, no one seemed to care and missed her so much, but Hamish is really focusing in the issue and also about his former girlfriend. Even when Mrs. Gillespie was alive, no one seems to talk to her and visit her every time. So far, Hamish and his crew found out that the victim was beaten to death with her pail that she is always carrying around to clean. As the investigator, Hamish Macbeth starts to get all the clues, he thinks deeply on his former girlfriend. Hamish Macbeth and his crew ask a lot of questions to the people that mostly know a lot about Mrs. Gillespie. Well, thank god that Hamish Macbeth help everyone from the blackmailer and the maid otherwise everyone probably everyone in the city can get killed. The results was that a lady named Crystal Barret Wilkinson is the responsible for the deaths of Mrs. Gillespie and Shona Frasier. She also shot Hamish Macbeth in the chest but, good luck that he had a bulletproof vest. Crystal kicked Hamish's body really hard with her food. Since she knew that Hamish was an F.B.I agent, she thought that he can call his crew and kill her or put her in jail. Mrs. Gillespie recognized Crystal from the television program and blackmailed Crystal. Crystal was acting dumb so no one knew about her blackmailing Mrs. Gillespie. Hamish thought Crystal tried to run her down, but that didn't work so Crystal followed Mrs. Gillespie to the Moy Hall to the clay pigeon nad then Crystal saw her and shoot her and killed her. Later on, you took her body and dump it somewhere where nobody visits a lot. When Hamish Macbeth was shot, Crystal was running far but, then Hamish chased her and knocked her out. He took of his bulletproof vest and was alive. Hamish Macbeth lives in in London. Hamish met a woman named Gloria Price. The started talking to each other and they went together to a restaurant and ate. Once they finished eating, they started to chat even more and Gloria noticed that Hamish did not had any wedding ring. He tells her that he only had girlfriends and every time it is break ups and break ups. Well, at the end he goes out with Gloria Price but, he doesn't know if he is going to marry her because he doesn't know if she is the right choice.
