How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Artemis Fowl did not like whalers. There were less objectionable ways to produce oil by-products. (6.1)
You know you're bad when a criminal thinks you're objectionable, but letting the ship's residue and wreckage sink into the water isn't exactly saving the planet, either.
Quote #5
"Fruit then. Or vegetables. Make sure they're washed. I don't want any of your chemical poisons in my blood." […]
"Don't worry, all our produce is grown naturally." (6.323-324)
This is almost a throwaway line in the book, but it brings up an interesting question. Does the Fowl estate have a produce garden on its premises? That's an odd thing to try to grown on marshy, medieval land.
Quote #6
"I return you to the earth," she whispered, worming her fist into the tiny space. "And claim the gift that is my right." (7.272)
"The gift that is my right" is a strange phrase. How can a gift be a right? And again, what happened to this being a gift of courtesy from the earth? Giving back an acorn you picked up off the ground doesn't seem like a thank-you.
