When I think of detectives in literature, two
names come to mind. Nancy Drew and the
Hardy Boys. Not simply a “current”
example of detectives, both have been around for decades due their popularity,
which stems from the fun, innocent stories of teenagers solving crimes. Generations of children have enjoyed these
series and their adventures. What child
doesn’t imagine himself/herself heroically solving a suspenseful mystery? Now we have computer games and video games of
these great stories for our generation to actually become the detective.
Another example of detectives is Michael Weston from Burn
Notice. My brother watches this show
religiously because of the interaction between the cast and the suspense of
figuring out the storyline. He enjoys it
because he feels like he, as the viewer, gets to solve the mystery as he
watches.
