It seemed interesting to me and this project was the perfect chance for me to read it. It is about a young criminal mastermind, which makes for an intriguing story from start to finish.]]> 2021-12-21 22:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1959551509 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1961413724 ^{" How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis's own intelligence. He bamboozled every test thrown at him. He has puzzled even the greatest medical minds and sent many of them gibbering to hospitals.
 There is no doubt that Artemis is a child prodigy. But why does someone of such brilliance dedicate himself to criminal activities? This is a question that can be answered by one and only person. And he delights in not talking."}

I find this a very intriguing way to start the book because it introduces the reader to Artemis as a brilliant child that went down a dark path. It would excite someone into wanting to find out his story as a criminal.]]> 2021-12-23 02:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1961413724 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1963140344 "The mopeds parted like fish in a giant shoal."
This figurative language is a simile that means the mopeds drove off quickly.]]> 2021-12-24 15:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1963140344 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1963282516  _{" Fingers shaking from exhaustion and excitement, Artemis clicked print. A single page scrolled from the LaserWriter. It was in English now...    ...Fully aware that he was probably the first human in several thousand years to decode the magical words, Artemis switched on his desk light and began to read."}

Artemis was finally able to decode the fairy language, which means he can get some info that could bring back his family fortune.]]> 2021-12-24 23:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1963282516 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1963878301 "Technically she was an elf, fairy being a general term. She was a leprechaun too, but that was just a job. Perhaps a description would be more helpful than a lecture on fairy genealogy."

I think genealogy might be a study of similar features in a species because there is the suffix -logy in the word like geology or biology.]]> 2021-12-25 22:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1963878301 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1964485062 "Sometimes she wished (Molly) that her ancestors had stayed to fight it out with the Mud People. But there were too many of them. Unlike fairies who could produce only a single child every twenty years, Mud People bred like rodents."

According to fairies, mud people refer to humans living on the surface. They call humans mud people because our ancestors used to live in the mud and dirt when the fairies used to live on the surface.]]> 2021-12-26 17:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1964485062 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1964522960 This dialogue is important because Holly was able to defeat the troll without major problems, and her commander wasn't very angry at her. This also leads her to have to go and do her ritual again to get her powers. It ends up going wrong and Holly is captured by Artemis Fowl.]]> 2021-12-26 18:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1964522960 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1967061785 ^{"Captain Kelp was the first casualty, a titanium-tipped dart puncturing the neck of his suit. He went down sluggishly, as though the air had turned to water. Two more of the squad were dropped before they had any idea what was going on.
       It must be quite traumatic, thought Butler dispassionately, to lose an advantage that you've had for centuries."}

This was a vital point because it shows Artemis was smart enough to outwit the LEP retrieval and overall worried them.  After more struggle with stopping Artemis and trying to retrieve Holly, Commander Root wants to stop Artemis without following the rules of the fairies.]]> 2021-12-28 23:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1967061785 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970402042 Holly gains her powers back and escapes to find Mulch in the Fowl manor as well. They learn about Artemis' copy of the book and how he knew so much about the fairies. When Mulch is leaving, he decides to fake his death and escape the whole situation.]]> 2022-01-02 01:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970402042 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970404305 Lieutenant Cudgeon decides that using the troll Holly caught would be able to stop the situation. It ends horribly as Butler almost dies trying to stop it and protect Juliet(his sister). He gets healed by Holly's powers and was surprisingly able to defeat the troll in the end.]]> 2022-01-02 01:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970404305 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970412597 _{"Foaly returned to his console. A red light began pulsing gently. "Wait, motion sensor. We've got activity by the main entrance." Root crossed to the screens. "Can you enhance it?"
"No problem." Foaly punched in the coordinates, blowing it up four hundred percent. Root sat down on the nearest chair. "Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?"
"You sure are." Foaly chuckled. "This is even better than the suit of armor." Holly was coming out. With gold."}

Artemis traded for the ransom gold in exchange for Holly. Artemis decides to give back gold to make a wish that turns his mother back to normal. The fairies expected him to die from the bio-bomb, but Artemis managed to escape it and the time-field by forcing himself, Butler, and Juliet to sleep.]]> 2022-01-02 02:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970412597 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970419078 The theme of Artemis Fowl would be greed. Greed for something can lead to someone to do outrageous actions and take terrible risks. The whole reason for his fights with the fairies and the LEP is him wanting their gold for his family fortune. ]]> 2022-01-02 02:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970419078 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970421873 "But the most ostentatious was saved for the last pair."

I think this might mean something amazing, or very special. This is because this word is used when someone is beating someone up and his moves were perfect.]]> 2022-01-02 02:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1970421873 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1971232495 Artemis fowl is very similar to Harry Potter because they both revolve around a secret magical world most people don't know about. They discover secrets about these places and their people, but Artemis is more of the villain while Harry is the protagonist.]]> 2022-01-02 22:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1971232495 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1971280562 "He was white as a vampire and almost as testy in the light of day."

A shark that's spotted a bare behind."

This is a metaphor that compares butler finding the LEP retrieval and beating them up to a shark finding its prey.]]> 2022-01-03 00:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1971289719 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1971295939 "Wart-face didn't look so good. Smoke was leaking from every orifice in his head. Flameproof goblins may be, but the errant fireballs had given his tubes a good scouring. He swayed like a strand of seaweed, then collapsed facedown on the concrete floor."

This is a simile that compares falling down slowly like a strand of seaweed swaying in the air.]]> 2022-01-03 00:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1971295939 taremanda https://padlet.com/taremanda/zhufes6yo4gh49q3/wish/1971296370 "'Laugh this off,' she said and butted the troll with the only weapon available to her. Her helmeted head.

Valiant undoubtedly, but about as effective as trying to cut down a tree with feathers."
