Holly has a transmitter that Artemis takes from her.
Artemis asks Butler to stop by a harbor and create a distraction. When Butler is fighting with a bunch of sailors Artemis put the locator on a whaler boat. After a few hours have gone by Root is worried that something bad has happened to Holly, and goes to Foaly, a centaur that can help Root find Holly. Foaly thinks that Holly is on the whaler boat and tells that to Root. Root goes to the boat and finds no Holly, but only finds the transmitter, and a microphone hidden in the pipes of the boat this is where Root has figured out the name of her captor. Root has gotten everything on Artemis and Fowl Manor. Artemis has put Holly in a prison cell. Root requests to stop time. Root sends in a retrieval squad, but this fails. After this fails Root wants to bomb Fowl Manor with a
Bio-Bomb. Meanwhile Holly is smashing her cot because she discovered that she has an acorn in her boot. Artemis invites Root to discuss the ransom. Root agrees but Foaly want to put a contact lens camera on Root. Root goes in Fowl Manor, and discusses the ransom. Artemis mentions that he could avoid the time stop. Root reviews the tapes because he wants to know how Artemis knows so much on the fairy kind. Root sends in a kleptomaniac gnome named Mulch to figure out why Artemis knows so much. Root wants Mulch to tunnel underneath Fowl Manor. Artemis is looking at the cameras when he sees that Foaly has hacked into the camera system a created a loop, so Mulch could get into the manor safely. Finally after smashing and smashing Holly’s cot she has found some soil underneath that cement floor, and returns the acorn to the Earth. Holly regains her magic, and mesmerizes Butler’s sister Juliet. Holly escapes from her cell. Mulch tunneled though the 1st floor of the 3rd story manor. Mulch goes into the manor. Mulch finds a safe with a copy of the book. Mulch tells Root. When Mulch is almost done with his mission he forgot to release all his gas before he went inside the manor. Then Butler came in, and scared the gas right out of him. Mulch got out of the manor safely. When he was tunneling he thought he’s done with the mission he’s just going to thrown in jail, so he faked his death. Root sends in the ransom. Then one of the lieutenants of the retrieval squad says he was ordered from the high council that he is the acting commander of the case. The acting commander requests to send in a troll to get Holly out. When they send in the troll Juliet, Butler, and Holly are nearly eaten by the troll. Then Butler put in all his strength and knocks the troll unconscious. Then Artemis gives Holly half of the ransom. Butler, Juliet, and Artemis celebrate with champagne. What they don’t know is that the Bio-Bomb is coming, and that Artemis put sleeping drugs in the champagne. They survive after the bomb has hit.
The first bird omen, appearing before the assembly of suitors and Telemachos in The Odyssey li. 146-154 (pg. 43), portrays the impending struggle between Odysseus and the suitors as a fight between two eagles. The description of the battle, through phrases including “wing and wing” and “tore each other by neck and cheek with their talons,” characterizes the fight as violent, yet evenly matched. Halitherses’s subsequent interpretation classifies this fight as a “warning to the suitors” of the nearing return of Odysseus to Ithaka and their inevitable conflict with him (Od. li. 162, pg. 43). While Halitherses’s interpretation of the fight as foreshadowing is accurate, two of the next three bird omens reveal that the bird omens throughout The Odyssey

Throughout history, the story of womankind has evolved from struggles to achievements, while some aspects of the lives of women have never changed. Poet Dorianne Laux writes about the female condition, and women’s desire to be married and to have a home and children. She also seems to identify through her poetry with the idea that women tend to idealize the concept of marriage and settling down and she uses her poetry to reach out to the reader who may have similar idyllic views of marriage or the married lifestyle. Though Dorianne Laux’s poem “Bird” reads very simply, it is actually a metaphor for an aspect of this female condition.
The image of seductresses is a recurring motif in The Odyssey. These women are a temptation to Odysseus. They attempt to keep Odysseus from accomplishing his goal: his homecoming. Circe is a bewitching goddess. She entices Odysseus’ crew into her palace with her enchanting voice. However, after she feeds them, she promptly turns them into pigs. Circe also succeeds in enticing Odysseus; he stays with her one year as her lover. It is so long that his crew declares that it is “madness” (326). They say that it is “high time” that Odysseus thinks of his homeland (326). Later on, Odysseus and his crew encounter the sirens. Knowing the danger they pose, Odysseus has all his men’s ears stopped up with wax. However, Odysseus wishes to hear their song; so he asks his crew to tie him to the mast. The song of the sirens is so sweet and enticing. Their “ravishing voices” almost make Odysseus forget his desire to return home (349). His heart “throbbed” to listen longer; he signals for his men to let him go free. The grea...
Homer’s The Odyssey chronicles Odysseus’s return home from the Trojan War to reunite with his wife, kingdom, and son. However, Odysseus has been encountering serious difficulties that have prevented him from reaching home for nearly twenty years. These difficulties include various different types of monsters, each of which seems to embody undesirable traits such as laziness or savagery. The Greeks portray creatures with these traits as monsters as an example of the Greeks’ “better” traits and subsequent superiority. Each species of monster within The Odyssey represents one or more qualities that the Greeks have demonized in comparison to themselves.
