Student Question: What about this book amazed, interested, or stood out to you as you read? The only thing in the book that I found particularly intriguing was the fact that the supposed Protagonist that the book is named after, Artemis Fowl, is actually the Antagonist of the book and the real Protagonists is a fairy that he kidnapped and her commanding officer.
One thing that stood out to me in the book was how different the writing style was from chapter books I read previously. For one, the book is written in third person Omniscient rather third person Limited, and second, The author either doesn't have as much skill in writing as other authors I have read from, or he is foreign.

Student Question: How do you (I) compare to the main character of my book? I think that the main character (Artemis Fowl) have a lot of similarities and differences. One thing similar is that we are both males. Another thing similar is our ages, which are in close proximity of each other. The way our brains work is also similar because of their complexity in the way they function and connect unrelated ideas to absurdly complicated conclusions (I may think this because of my IQ placing in the 98 percentile). Another way we are similar is how we both would prefer to use death as a last resort when accomplishing our goals. Some differences include his lack of sympathy towards others outside his family, he lives in Europe, he is incredibly rich, and he has black hair.
Student Question: How accurate is this book to real life? A lot of this book is unrealistic. Some examples of this include fairies, leprechauns, living gnomes, goblins, dwarfs, trolls, sprites, etc. Even though this may be unrealistic, some of the book relates to real life, like gangs, billionaires, and families that have the sole purpose of serving rich families (The serving family is named "Butler" to make it even more obvious of their occupations).
Student Question: What events in this book reflect real-world events happening right now? In this book, the main characters usually blow up a famous landmark in the real world about every chapter. It is shown multiple times that most news channels attempt to explain how all of these events are due to terrorist attacks, which is a real-world threat today.
