Sherlock Holmes ........ About the ending of this story, I am not satisfied with some part of the story but mostly I satisfied. The case of this story is not finished and make me confused . I also do not know the ending of the relationship of Sherlock and the woman that help him to settled the case.
I satisfied when Lord Blackwood died. I confused when there was a bird perch on electric cable watching he  die. After he died, the bird flew away. Is that means the evil spirit is really exist?

SUGAR ISN'T EVERYTHING by Willo Davis Roberts

Eleven-year-old Amy has to learn how to maintain a carefully balanced diet and how to give herself insulin injections. The male nurse who teaches them is himself a diabetic as well as a competent, cheerful young man who takes the edge off the experience. He makes it clear to Amy and the others that the primary responsibility for their health maintenance routines lies with them personally.

After release from the hospital, Amy begins to deal with the social adjustments her disease demands. Her brother and parents are helpful, but uncertain about how much to change their own eating habits to accommodate her. Her younger sister finds the accommodations trying and unfair. Amy's friends also have learning to do.
It helps her that she knows a few other diabetic kids, including Coby, a boy who has struggled with his own resentment and the consequences of sloppy monitoring of his condition, but has learned how to control his diet for the sake of staying on the baseball team where he's a star player. Their friendship helps Amy transition into "normal" life hopefully.
Actually the main character is related on me when i come here. I like to eat very much when i come here . So i hope that i will not be like Amy .
