Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn.
- Elizabeth Lawrence

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

from Lady Windermere’s Fan, a play by Oscar Wilde

Eoin Colfer is seriously awesome.
There’s a reason I call him my second favourite modern author. ♥

Anyways, I found this book on my bookshelf.
I bought it on sale from Black Bond Books about three years ago but never had time to read it. Now, I’m really glad I saved it till today.
There are SO MANY references to Heaven and Hell, and I am 100% sure that Colfer referenced both Milton’s Paradise Lost and Dante’s Inferno when he wrote it. I’m going to read the whole thing in order to help me study for English… IOCs… T_T  Even though Dante and Milton aren’t on the IOC, I think that making the analysis and comparisons will help me. (No, this isn’t just an excuse to read a delicious novel!)

I’m only around page 63, but I’m already loving this book.
But what did you expect, coming from the guy who created Artemis Fowl?

I’m going to use this excerpt to give some analysis on the concepts of Hell and Satan, as presented by Colfer, Dante, and Milton.
Wow. How lame am I? We already had our Hell essay this morning, and NOW I’m studying for it. -_-;; Oh well. Maybe I could use this for my next World Lit essay, though!

… no, wait, seriously. Could I? O_O

Excerpt: The Wish List, by Eoin Colfer
Published 2003, Hyperion Books

Chapter One: Double Act
a passage from page 15-16

…
They hurtled around a bend. Up ahead the tunnel split in two. That didn’t take a whole lot of figuring out. Up and down. Good and bad. Heaven and hell. Meg swallowed. This was it. Payback for all the cruelty she’d inflicted on the people of Newford.
The currents bore them along at a terrific speed. There was no friction. No winds whipping (1) at their clothes or ballooning their cheeks. Just an increasing heat blast from the lower branch of the tunnel. As they drew closer, Meg could make out cinder-blackened figures with pitchforks (2) dislodging stragglers clinging to the wall. Hurrying them along on their way to hell.
This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be happening to her. Fourteen-year-olds didn’t die; they went through a troublesome phase and grew out of it.
Meg could see details now. The red demon-eye glow (3) of the tunnel creatures. The silvery glint of their prongs. The job satisfaction in their grins.
Belch whined in dumb terror, pinwheeling his arms in the heavy air, as if that could save him. Meg steeled herself.
The gate to hell loomed before them. It seemed as large as the sun, and almost as hot. Meg balled her fists. She wasn’t going down easy.
Then her course changed. Just a nudge to starboard, but enough to steer her away from the lower passage. A relieved sigh exploded from her lungs. Purgatory (4), limbo (5), reincarnation — she didn’t care.  Anything was better than whatever waited at the end of the red tunnel.
The Belch-Raptor combo wasn’t so lucky. In a second the fiery current (6) had him and he was gone, spinning into the inferno (7).
Meg had no time to worry about the fate of her associate. Whatever power had been guiding her suddenly vanished, leaving her careering with the force of her own momentum. The tunnel wall reared before her. It looked soft. Soft and blue. Please let it be soft…
No such luck. Meg smashed into an unforgiving surface at an Earth speed of four hundred miles per hour (8). Not that speed makes any actual difference on the spiritual plane, where kinetics are out the window. That’s not to say that it didn’t hurt.

Chapter Two: Dead As Doornails
a passage from page 17-19

The Devil was not happy. (9)
“Two,” he said, drumming filed nails on the desktop. “I was expecting two today.”
Beelzebub (10) shuffled nervously. “There are two, Master, sort of. I have them … it … whatever … in pit nineteen (11).”
“Two humans!” hissed Satan, tiny lightning bolts sparking between his horns. “Not one youth and his dog! How did a dog get in here, anyway?” (12)
“They were … blended together. One heaven (13) of an accident,” stammered his aide-de-camp, consulting a clipboard. “The boy is a true disciple (13). Very impressive humancycle. Bullying, torturing animals, theft, murder. A rap sheet as long as your tail. And the dog, a real hound of Satan. Tetanus injectuion sales have risen by fifteen percent in the first quarter.”
The Lord of Darkness (14) was not impressed. “He’s a cretin.” (15)
“The dog?”
“No, you halfwit! The boy! Unimaginative, brutal.”
Beelzebub shrugged. “Evil is evil, Master.”
Satan wagged a fine-boned finger. “No, you see, that’s where you’re wrong. That’s why you’re a minion, and I am the undisputed Lord of the Underworld. You have no vision, Bub (16), no flair.” 
Beelzebub’s fangs quivered in his mouth. He hated being called Bub. There wasn’t another being in the universe who would dare to use that condescending abbreviation … well, perhaps just one — a certain saint named Peter.
“These impuse sinners have no staying power. Their life expectancy is too short for them to wreak any real havoc. (17) One major sin and they’re gone. No planning, you see. No thought of getting away with it.”
Beelzebub nooded dutifully, as though he didn’t get treated to this lecture at least a dozen times a millenium.
“But you give me one creative sinner and he’ll be spreading the gospel of misery (18) for decades before anyone catches him. If ever.”
“True, Master, very true.”
Satan’s eyes narrowed. “You wouldn’t be patronizing me, would you, Bub?”
“No,” croaked a very nervous senior demon. “Of course not, Master.”
“Glad to hear it. Because if I thought for one second that I didn’t have your undivided attention, I might move you from that apartment overlooking the Plain of Fire (19), and into the Dung Pit (20).”
Beelzebub flicked a forked tongue over suddenly dry lips. Dung was all very well at work, but you had to switch off sometime.
…

[and so the story continues.]

Footnotes.
Because yes, I’m going to add footnotes to my blog post.
Because yes, I’m just that nerdy. B]

If you’re an IB kid, reading the below is probably going to be a lot more useful than reading the excerpt above. The excerpt is only to help contextualize.
Actually, what am I saying?
This thing is so long that nobody’s going to bother to read this except myself, three years from now when it doesn’t even matter anymore. -_-;;

1) Inferno:
Think buffeting winds and cyclones. Canto 4. (I think? I don’t have the book with me, so these references are just based on memory. Sorry. T_T)
2) Tridents! You can tell that Colfer is choosing a Greek/Roman-mythology version of Hell, in which Hades/Pluto has a pitchfork or a trident as a sort of staff. Neither Inferno nor PL have this; their Satans are powerful without needing a way to direct their power.
3) Inferno and PL:
The dim light that you could just barely see by, but not bright enough to counter the darkness. A darkness without light. Canto 23/25 and Book I. (Okay, WHY do I know this off the top of my head?)
4) Purgatorio:
Not a book I’ve read, but the second part of the Divine Comedy. Do you even DOUBT that Colfer has read Dante?
5) Inferno:
Limbo, where the lukewarm or the people who weren’t-quite-good-enough go. Or in Colfer’s version, the place where people go when they’re not good enough for Heaven but not bad enough for Hell. Canto 3. (Why do I know this…?!)
6) PL:
Waves and currents and lakes of burning liquid fire. Colfer used the word “current” for a reason.
7) Inferno:
“Into the inferno”… Do I need to explain this? XD
What, no velocity? … sorry, I just had to throw a physics joke in there.

9) Irony! The Devil isn’t happy. That implies that sometimes he is happy… which is impossible. After all, he’s languishing in Hell! XD
10) PL:
Beelzebub enters the scene immediately after Satan does, just like in PL. And just like in PL, Beelzebub is the second character to speak, immediately in response to Satan. And we’ll find out later that Colfer assigns Beelzebub to be Satan’s second-in-command… just like in PL. Book I. Again, you cannot doubt that Colfer has studied Milton.
Also note that Colfer took this directly from PL, since technically Beelzebub is Satan. Milton took an artistic liberty in separating the two into distinct characters, and it is clear that Colfer adopted this interpretation.
11) Inferno:
Technically, there isn’t a “pit nineteen”. Dante’s Hell is in concentric circles that have eight major sections. And near the centre, yeah, there’s Malebolge, with its many pits for the really sinful people, but even then, there are only 10 pits. Tsk tsk. Colfer, I was really hoping for a joke of some sort. I thought you’d put Belch in Canto 23 with the thieves!
12) Follows with both Inferno and PL’s ideas that animals don’t go to an afterlife.
13) Allusion. Normally, people say, “one helluva ___” or “one hell of a ___” to swear/curse. Since Beelzebub is in Hell, though, he reverses that by cursing Heaven instead. I find that comedic. Same in his reference to tetanus shots — it sounds as though he’s talking about the stock market!
14) “Lord of Darkness,” another one of Satan’s many titles.
15) Hypocrite! Satan calls Belch a cretin… and Satan isn’t one?
16) Beelzebub –> “Bub”. You’ve got to give Colfer some credit for that one. “Bub” is such a frequently-used derogatory nickname, and Colfer managed to make Beelzebub into that. It’s perfect subtle comedy!
17) Contrasts both Inferno and PL:
Satan speaks as though he’s running a business, as though he’s talking about efficiencies. I suppose he is, but that amuses me. In the two classics, the sinners are trying to atone for their sins, but here, they’re trying to continue their havoc.
18) Irony/Allusion. A “gospel” is supposed to be “good news”. Satan here completely reverses that — apparently misery is good news now? XD
19) Inferno:
The Fiery Plains are where the homosexuals, usurers, and blasphemers run/sit/lie on the plains and have a rain of fire fall down upon them. I suppose an apartment there would be much preferred to a room in the dung pits. Canto 23-27… I probably know so specifically only because I did that essay today. Right? O_o;;
20) Inferno:
The Dung Pit is part of Malebolge, where the greedy sinners who displayed avarice crawled around naked in dung and had to eat it, too. T_T Ew.  As in, all their material possessions were worth nothing but dung. This is around Canto 27-ish… not sure.

And that concludes my 1737-word  blog post analysis on the setting of Hell and the character(s) of Satan as interpreted by Colfer, Dante, and Milton. T_T
I hope you enjoyed reading this… and didn’t die of boredom.
I actually kind of enjoyed writing this. Heh. Irony?

…Thinking bout
How im gonna do without
You around in my life and how am I

I think im gonna lose my mind…

It’s no use pretending that this isn’t a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I’m dismayed and deeply shaken by them.

Yes, the messages were obtained illegally. Yes, all of us say things in emails that would be excruciating if made public. Yes, some of the comments have been taken out of context. But there are some messages that require no spin to make them look bad. There appears to be evidence here of attempts to prevent scientific data from being released, and even to destroy material that was subject to a freedom of information request.
