Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
The detective [blank_start]fiction[blank_end] was born in the mid 19th century. In the 1920s, the detective story became very [blank_start]popular[blank_end]. It followed very definite rules: - The scene was set in a [blank_start]closed[blank_end] space (a train, a [blank_start]manor[blank_end], etc...) - There was a [blank_start]murder[blank_end], a restricted number of [blank_start]suspects[blank_end], a detective leading the [blank_start]investigation[blank_end], the final unveiling of the [blank_start]enigma[blank_end]. In the US, the "Hard-boiled" fiction appeared in the mid 20s. [blank_start]Thrillers[blank_end] depicted the reality of American city life (crime, violence, [blank_start]corruption[blank_end], and vice). A new type of detective was born: the private [blank_start]eye[blank_end], or private detective, who is tough, [blank_start]unscrupulous[blank_end], and sometimes violent.
