Artemis Fowl Book Report
ARTEMIS’ POINT OF VIEW

Info: 12 year old child prodigy, aces every test thrown at him, puzzles the greatest medical minds and sends them gibbering to their own hospitals. His father has disappeared in Russia (most likely dead or captured by the Russian mafiya) and his mom was bedridden with nervous tension over the loss of her husband. He also had a bodyguard whose name is Butler. He was as big and as strong as a mammoth. They were paired together at Artemis’ birth. His main problem is his own intelligence and his dedication to a life of crime. He had devised a plan that would restore his family’s fortune, a plan that could topple civilizations and plunge the planet into a cross species war.

I was at Ho Chi Minh City waiting for our contact Xuan Nguyen accompanied by Butler. As we waited Xuan walked up to us dressed as a waiter. Obvious. Handmade loafers, a silk shirt, three gold signet rings. Pathetic really. Only to check for weapons. Who does he think I am? I told him that I was unarmed but for fun I told him about Butler. How he had tons of weapons and how he could kill him even without them. It was hilarious. He looked as if he were going to cry. Finally he told us to look at a picture he had. It was a wrinkly green hand. Xuan then told us that she is a healer that works in exchange for rice wine. She was always drunk.

He led us to a fire escape in Tu Do Street. I asked Butler for the night vision goggles. Inside I saw the green old hag. She asked for wine. Butler gave her the Irish whiskey. It was the same wrinkly green hand. I told Butler to give Xuan the money. Finally things were going according to plan. She asked me if I had anything that needed healing. I told her I only wanted her book. She threatened to kill me. I told her that I would save her if she gave me the book. She gave me a questioning look. Perhaps the affects of the holy water hadn’t started yet. I told her about it and she said I

    Imagine a world in which our brains were not needed, books were forbidden, and in which passion was dismissed as odd. If it was real, you would probably run as far away as you could from that world, as portrayed in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I know I would. But what if I told you that our world is not so different from that world? I believe that Fahrenheit 451 tells us that our present world is well on the road of becoming like the dystopian world of the book because of similarities in both worlds, such as advancing technology, media, and changes in human interaction.…

    I can’t say I’m astonished by the State Board of Education’s decision to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird”. After all, what can you expect from such short-minded people? Such people that regrettably are put in the position to judge what books are moral and fit to be read by young adults. Is it the book’s display of what really happens in the world, or the book’s lessons of protecting innocence and standing up for what you see as right, that makes this book so disgraceful, that we must shelter young minds from?…

    Wang Lung has several good harvests and saves enough food and money to overcome the hard times and get his family through the years to come. One day, Wang Lung decides that O-lan is not suitable to be the wife of an opulent land owner such as himself. He comments on how ugly her unbound feet are, and O-lan was extremely hurt by that. “…and he saw for the first time that she was a woman whom no man could call other than she was, a dull and common creature…” (Buck 179). Later on, he does regret saying what he said to her because he feels guilty, but Chinese men do not show their emotions. It would have been unlike a traditional Chinese man to feel any sort of repentance towards his wife after insulting her. Not only does Wang Lung belittle O-lan, but he also ends up having a mistress. He starts attending the ostentatious tea house because he felt as if he were too good to go to the old tea house. At the new tea house, he got to choose one of the beautiful and alluring women on the paintings that were hanging on the walls. He picks out a woman named Lotus. As Cuckoo took Wang Lung upstairs, she said, “And Lotus may have this fellow – he smells of the fields and garlic!” (192). Wang Lung was highly embarrassed because he cares too much of what society thinks. “This Wang Lung heard, although he disdained to…
