Balloons

     Balloons are an intresting topic, they sometimes just go and float away from your grasp. Sometimes when you most need them for a birthday party, a reception, or a get well soon present, they just go and pop because they don't feel needed. Love your balloons. Balloons are just like your love for books, it sometimes just goes and floats away because you don't nurture it, feed it, and give it what it deserves. I have suffered from this syndrome, I call it the B.A.C.O.N. syndrome. Books Always Cater Over Noise. What this means is, you can always read a book if its noisy, rainy, or quiet. I have recently recovered and read 14 books in the past two weeks, thats one a day. I forgot how much fun it was to go and read books instead of just laying on the couch, or watching movies. Help others recover from this syndrome, give them book suggestions, tell them about the series you are reading, or threaten to spoil the ending of the movie they are watching. Help people recover from B.A.C.O.N. syndrome.

The House of Hades

   

 The House of Hades is a book that recently came out in the Heros of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. Something has come up where Annabeth and percy are stuck in tarturus, and the only way out is to close the Doors of death and escape through them. I predict that something is going to happen to them because they just had two miraceles in a row. They were saved by the Fire water, which is burning liquid that they had to ingest to heal them selves, "It tastes spicy". They are now stuck aginst an amry of dead again monsters, they have to sneak past them and then make the treacherous journey to the Doors of death. I think that one of them is goin to be injured, not enough to kill them but to make the journey even harder.

Atlantis Complex

     In the Artemis Fowl series, The Atlantic Complex, Artemis is faced with a challenge. His own mind. As he begins to show his friends from the people, ( What the fairies, elves, and dwarves call themself ), a new way to save planet earth from global warming, they begin to notice that he is acting strange, "Artemis Fowl muttering? And no mention of her new hairstyle -- usually Artemis picks up on physical changes right away." This is a quote on where one of his friends, Holly, has begun to notice something is wrong with him.

     Holly soon thinks she knows what is going on, and Foaly, another one who came to the meeting, has come to the same conclusion. Atlantis Complex.

     "Atlantis Complex (at-lan-tis kom-pleks) is a psychosis common among guilt riddden criminals, first diagnosedd by Dr. E. Dypess of the Atlantis Brainology Clinic. Other symptoms include obsessive behavior, paranioa, delusions, and in extreme cases mulitple personality disorder"

     Artemis is showing multiple of these syndromes at this time. He is a criminal, may or may not be guilt ridden. He is showing obsessive behavior in the number five. He does everything in 5, five steps, talking in sentences that are divisible by five, only wanting 5 people in a room. He also has paranoia, he sent his best friend away because he didnt think that he could trust him. And shortly after they make this conclusion, he develops another personality, a quite funny one in my opinion, he becomes a romantic romeo from the 1800's (funny enough).

Artemis's condition doesn't get any better, and neither does the worlds. A mastermind criminal escapes prision, and Artemis is the only one who can stop him. And he has to do so, while his condition only worsens.

Romeo and Juliet

     Romeo and Juliet is a play I have been looking forward to for a little while now. I recently watched a movie called Warm Bodies which is a spin off of Zombies and Romeo and Juliet.I know they are nothing alike but gave me and my dad a laugh. I can't wait to read the play. The first act has been kind of cool if you picture it in your head. It does take a little bit of time though to decifer the elizibethan language.

     I have been looking forward to Romeo and Juliet because my parents said that they liked it when they read it and everyone always talks about it, even though they have never read it. I always thought that shakespeare was a cool guy. He did do excellent things, such as make all those play.

                                  How Warm Bodies is a spin-off of Romeo and Juliet
                This is a little article by a movie reviewer who thought the samne that I did

      Gnomeo and Juliet is another kids spin-off of Romeo and juliet, or rather a modern day version. Watching that with my cousins was funny, even if it is a kids movie.There were things that you could relate to in the first scene of Romeo and Juliet because at the beginning of the movie it a few people in a neutrsal zone that start to fight, until higher powers come in to keep the fighting goin. Until the owner of the land, In this casae was the people who own the backyard, come outside to break up the fight.

Characters

     Artemis Fowl in the book Opal Deception begins as he once was in the very beginning of the series. He reverted to his naturak wasy after the mind wipe in the previous book. What the mind wipe did was go through all his memoreis and delete everything involving the people. Artemis was smart though, you can regain all of you memories by something trigering a relapse. Artemis outsmarted them yet agin. He left something for him to find and he did and got his memories back. That is what happened over the entire course of the book.

     In the novel, Artemis started again as a criminal mastermind. He changes over the text because of how his memories return. His memories return him to the kind person he was before the mind wipe. Artemis remembers all of his friends and the way things should be.

     Artemis interacts with other characters in a variety of ways. Before regaining his memories he treated everyone like dirt except for Butler, his bodyguard, and good friend. After his mind accepted the memories, he treated everyone with a newfound respect.

     Artemis advances the plot by think of plans and ideas that can help save the people once again, without him, there would be no more people, or anyone of that group.

Youth Group

Recently I have been going to an youth group held once a week on thursdays. It has been really cool and neat to me. Its around 9-10 people that go every wee and I have become one of them. They were great. They took me in when I had nothing in common with them. Erevryone arrives, we have snacks, and then we do the lesson. Last week it was about looking past someones apperance. They do really cool ways to show this. They showed a video of an old man dancing around a room and talking about their old stories. I have begun to love going there. It has become apart of my schedule. i am thankful for them. They brought more joy in my life.

WARNING:::///SPOILERS\\\:::WARNING

The current book I just finished, Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident really left some questions for me. Such as what is he going to do now that both of his parents are back? Is he going to attend his school now? How are his parents going to react when they figure out what he's been doing for the past two years?

I found those answers in the next book, the name escapes me.

Artemis Fowl contiues on his schemes except in a more secretive fashion. He doesnt lay out everything in his room as he did before. He hides it. He doesnt let his parents see it. Even though all of the trouble he could get in. he countinues on scheming. Going bigger and bigger every time.

He does attend school in some fashion, at least thats where his parents think he is meanwhile hes taking ~air quote~ School Trips ~air quote~ to Paris and Austrailia pulling off big heists. stealing famous paintings, and other things that he thinks might be leading him towards something more important that I will not tell you.

His parents havent yet figured out that he has been pulling off all of these little schemes. He is very good at covering his tracks. He does not want to think of it when it does happen.
