After your literature circle has met face to face. Please summarize your discussion breifly concentrating on the discussion your group had. Also, please post one question you have or statement, that is resounding with you since you began reading this book.  For example, if I were reading The Hunger Games, as question I may have at the middle of the book is why does Katniss feel she has to defy the capitol and "show them?"

Lastly, please post in response to what one other person posted, specifically responding either to their discussion or their "resounding question/statement."

  2. I think this book is very boring, it is getting a little better but i still dont like it. Also, we did discuss how Artemis and Butler captured Holly Short. Why do you think Artemis is keeping Captain Holly Short in a very bright lightened room?

    1. I think that HOlly is being held captive for her gold that the agency has but i dont know for sure.

    2. I think they are putting her in a bright room so she loses her magic quicker.

  3. I have always wondered where butler gets his weapons, do either of you know? I also think this book was boring. I think the book is getting better and less boring.

  4. The other day in class we discussed symbols in your novel, please tell about what symbols you saw present in your novel, then discuss what they symbolize. You may want to do some online research about universal symbols that occur in many novels if you think you have a universal symbol (some examples are: gold, animals, and colors such as red).

    After you have discussed the symbols, search the internet for symbolism in your book and see how it compares to what your group came up with. You may want to add what you found in your discussion.

    Lastly, please comment on at least one other person's post.

    Your post needs to be at least 5-7 sentences.

  5. One of the symbols I found was magic. It is magic because magic in Artemis Fowl is like something you need the more you have the better off you are. Artemis doesnt have any magic but he is stealing it from Holly Short. Artemis and Butler captured Holly Short,who is a fairy,one day.

  6. The symbol I chose was Gold. Gold is the symbol I think
    is because that is what Artemis is trying to get. By capturing a fariy and asking gold in return for the officer.And he trys to steal her magic

  9. I also think magic is the symbol because what Artemis wants is too steal the fairy and to steal her magic. Magic plays an important role because the fairies that try to find Holly use magic to find her. Foaly uses magic to make different things for LEP officers. Which shows how magic is a very big deal in the book Artemis Fowl.
