I am open minded. I’ll read a book with an open mind even though the only reason why it is so successful is because it has a revolutionary new concept of introducing vampires to the classic Romeo and Juliet. I’m not being sarcastic there. It is creative, I guess, to have vampires, I mean in a creepy weird sort of way if you like that…But still… I’ll get to more of that later, though. Let me now discuss the psychological reasoning behind my grudge against Twilight. I’m in my early twenties, and, you know, I’ve ready Harry Potter and enjoyed it. I mean, I’m not obsessed like so many, but, you know, I read them all and thought they were very clever and entertaining. But you know, coming into the world and what not, I realize that these books we turn to to find answers and wisdom and relation …well, they just can’t be fantasy. You know, and you can’t disagree when I say that basically, the climax of the fantasy, sci-fi whatever you call it book is good against evil–no matter if it’s demonstrated in that specific case by the dragon against the boy, the no-nosed wizard against the scar-face wizard…you get my drift. It’s just not enough for me. Do we daily face dragons? Well, no, that’s an obvious answer. Do we daily face evil? Hmm. No. These books are so one dimensional. Human emotion, at least from my perspective, is much more complicated than that. It’s not so simple. It’s not a matter of oh I’m good and you’re bad. There are so many situations that we go through everyday where there just isn’t one correct thing to do. I personally think our books should more reflect humans. There are only so many emotions these fantasy books can deal with because the main focus is the supernatural, the magical. And, as we, especially the people who aren’t playing make believe in preschool, grow up, we need to face reality…we need to realize that our lives won’t deal with that evil that is so obviously, well, evil…or the good that is so obviously good. We need to learn the

Pros: The cables work, ordered two.

Cons: None so far.

Ordered the cables based on price, but you might prefer something different for quality, do not get me wrong the quality of the cables are good, but if you are a cable buff you might prefer something else. Found a cheaper cable, but available was only one, and I wanted two of the same.

Colfer, E. (2001). Artemis Fowl. New York: Hyperion Paperbacks for Children.

Artemis Fowl is not only to tale of the ingenious and villainous Artemis Fowl, but also the Story of Captain Holly Short, the first female to protect the magical people by joining LEPrechaun force.

Artemis, whose mother is unwell since his father was lost in the Arctic, searches with his friend and protector, Butler, to restore the Fowl fortune. This leads Artemis into trouble with the magical world when he takes Holly hostage. From there Artemis must match wits with LEP’s best agents and one of the magical community’s sneakiest criminals.

The book allows students to question their own cultural norms, as humans are called Mud People and their (our) practices are called into question.

The story includes subtle environmental messages. It also blurs the lines between genres, as it includes both sci-fi and fantasy elements. But most of all, this is a fun series for the young action-adventure lover to become addicted to.

Plus, Artemis is a Mac user, the clever boy.

Activities to do with the book:

This is a book is a great adventure story to help to get students immersed in a story. It lends itself to role-play since students can have fun being a villainous and powerful child genius.

Since some complain that the Artemis Fowl books are hard to visualize, students could create their own illustrations to help with this or create their own adventures for some of the supporting characters.

Favorite Quotes:

“How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis’s own intelligence. He babboozles every test thrown at him. He has puzzled the greatest medical minds, and sent many of them gibbering to their own hospitals” (p. 1).

“The Mud People destroyed everything they came into contact with. Of course they didn’t live in the mud anymore. Not in this country, at least. Oh no. Big fancy dwellings with room for everything–rooms for sleep

I thought this book was a really terrific account of the lives of both the black maids and their white
employers in the precivil rights south. This story brings to life the attitudes of the times. The white women who employed the “help” were brought up to believe that black people were “different”, not really as feeling or human as their white counterparts. I enjoyed the story and plan to read more about this period in our country’s history.

Good product for the price. There’s a well placed handle for easy carrying and it’s not real heavy like many bagged models. The pedal for releasing the handle to angle is very easy to operate.

The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.
