Book Reflection:Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony

Just a note:This isn't really required hw but after reading Artemis Fowl and the eternity code, i got hooked on the series and brought practically every series of it.So here's another book reflection for those who ran out of stuff to read and give them a preview of what they can expect in this amazing book.

Artemis Fowl was a child genius and criminal but lately, he has became obsessed with fairies and trying to exploit them.But now,he is no longer the only mud person(fairy slang for 'human')to know of this race.A young french girl,Minerva,has found out about these fairies,and to make it worse,she hopes to capture a demon,the most human-hating of all fairies.An ancient time spell keeps the demons from humans,but unfortunately,the demon warlocks who casted the spell were long dead.Or are they?The first fairy caught by minerva turned out to be an odd-one-out among the others as he wasn't bloodthirsty like other demons.Soon,the demon warlock,N01,was plunged into adventures with Artemis and his fairy ally,Holly.Together,they must stop Minerva from revealing the demon to the masses and to stop Leon Abbot,a crazed demon intent on controlling his race and killing all humans.Artemis had finally found his match,but this time,his match might prove too much for him. 

P.s.This time I made sure to keep the word limit under 200,so if you count it,there should only be 150 words exactly

Book Reflection:Artemis Fowl and The Eternity Code

The story's plot was rather simple. A criminal mastermind, Artemis, creates a super computer,namely the c-box. It was extremely advanced technology and thus, when Artemis meets Chicago businessman Jon Spiro to show him the c-cube, Jon attempts to steal it. Artemis bodyguard, Butler, was killed by one of Spiro's Staff. However, he was revived by fairy magics from Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon squad. Unfortunately, the healing causes him to overage and leaves him unable to do his duties. However, his sister, Juliet, agrees to help recover the stolen computer. With the aid of the LEPrecon team and the dwarf, Mulch Diggums, they broke into Spiro's company and rescued Artemis. Even though Spiro had advanced security devices and the vault containing the c-cube was nearly unbreakable, the fairies technology was better, and they managed to get the cube. Artemis lets Foaly, the centuar who was the technical specialist of the LEP, take the c-cube and tricks Spiro into going to a rival company to sabotage their projects and gets him arrested by the Chicago police.I would seriously recommend this book to fantasy-lovers as it is very interesting and covers the many adventures that Artemis goes through. A good read!

Mercurial Tom








Brotherly Rivalry
Today's the day!
On a mission!
Mixed emotions ran through him.
He finally knew how to get promoted to chief.
Remove all obstacles.
Even his brother.
Opened the door.
Bang!Silence.
The body fell to the ground.
Smiling,his brother put alway his gun.
He always knew someone would want to usurp his position.

Micro-Fiction

55 word essay?
That's all you have to do for micro-fiction!
Seems too easy!
No problem!
Could be completed in 15 minutes!
Seems so simple!
Until I tried it.
It was hard work fitting everything to 55 words.
But guess what?
I did it!
I wrote about micro-fiction in micro-fiction format!

My First Micro-Fiction

My first M.F...
Here goes nothing!!!

His stupidity was seen in his results.
He failed.
He looked at the top student.
A smug look on his face.
In jealousy,he charged at the top student.
No response.
A punch,a kick and he fell.
The victor looked at him and sighed,"both dumb and weak."

My blogging experience

I don't have much to say about my blogging experience.Though other people's opinions may differ,I feel that blogging is a great way to do our work,after all,many teenagers tend to like to use computers and incorporating schoolwork into something we all enjoy does make schoolwork more fun.Also,blogging is a great way to express our own views and opinions to the entire world without being scared of what other people think of us.It is a haven for us to pour our hearts out.However, one flaw that i feel about blogging is the RBP.I,of course, understand the importance of it as rules are meant to restrict us and prevent us from breaking the rules.However,I feel that it is limiting what we can do.With all due respect,I can't help but feel that it might be more effective to write a diary.Also, the very thought that if you type one swear word in anger,someone could use it as evidence against you,and this could be traced back to the school.So,I suggest us using this blog only as a school blog and any other seperate blogs we might have must not be linked to any of our blogs.

Confessions of a game addict

     I was hooked the moment I started the game.I was a game addict and warcraft was always my favourite.I could play on hours at an end.Of course,my mother never turned a blind eye to this.On the contrary, she often nagged at me, telling me not to get addicted.And of course,like all game addicts,I simply said,"I'm not addicted."
     I never paid much attention to my mother's incessant nagging at me to stop playing.Until that day i was called into the office of my teacher.In my assignment,I had put the name "Zeus,God of Thunder" and the whole paper was a mess of doodlings of warcraft heroes.It was then that I was convinced that i was seriously addicted.I then created my quiting plan.
    I got my mother to put a password on the computer so i could not use it without her knowing.Still,i could not forget the game.It was the nicotine in a cigarrette and i was drawn to it like a siren song.It took alot of straining to make sure that i did not play.To distract me from playing,I also got out for movies or to exercise with my friends.I even went to malaysia with my friends for a three day mass eat-out.We turned the entire city upside down and no restaurant or hawker could escape me.When I went back,I no longer have the urge to play anymore.Instead, i got hooked on eating.
     But at least it's not a unhealthy habit.Now my mission's accomplished,french fries anyone?
