20 points to whoever can answer these questions on Agatha Christies ABC Murders
Specific aspects of Poirot's personality qualify him as a "distinctive" individual. These characteristics may be what helps make him "a good detective." Chapter 1 carefully lays out Poirot's character traits. In a paragraph, discuss what you can deduce about Poirot from the following situations: He dyes his hair. He chooses an apartment (a flat) because of its symmetrical appearance. He speaks formal English and throws in French words. He eats at the Ritz. He knows exactly where to find the A.B.C. letter when he wants to show it to Hastings. He objects to Hastings' suggestion that Poirot uses his instincts to solve crimes. He calls Hastings his "mascot." (How would you feel if you were Hastings?)
