For my virtual school class Free Choice Blog Assessment 3.07 I decided to read Twilight by Stephen Meyer.I read the first chapter of this book and it was extremely fun and made me really enjoy it. This book got so famous they created four books and movies.It was a windy day "November 20,2008" I remembered staying up till midnight at the movie theatres waiting for the movie to start.The movie was originally scheduled to be released on December 12 2008, but Harry Potter in the release of the Half Blood Prince was delayed, Twilight moved up and took their release date.
As I read chapter one i soon started noticing big vocabulary words like omnipresent and claustrophobia.I believe the authors intent of writing this book was to simply entertain a reader. To be honest this book is actually really interesting to read. Once I started reading I didn't want to stop.
It all begins with Bella the main character moving to Forks, Washington which is the rainiest place in the U.S. Bella moved from Phoenix and she really wanted to stay with her mom but she lied about it and acted like she was okay with it. Bella's dad picked her up from the airport once she arrived to Forks. Her fathers name is Charlie.He bought Bella a "COOL" vintage truck so she won't feel too stranded living in small-town Forks.The next day the first day of school for her was considered to be awful.She was pretty much the new girl and everybody gave her weird looks and didn't look so welcomed.She saw the Cullen family during lunch and then she had to sit next to Edward.In the end of chapter one she runs again toward Edward by the schools office while he was trying to change his schedule so he wouldn't have classes with Bella.While reading this book it made me feel like if I was reading something from Jane Austen because of how she writes romantic fiction.You can tell from chapter one that something is going to happen between Edward and Bella.
This books organizational pattern is in chronological order from the beginning to the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Fiction and romance novels with some action.It will sure keep you entertained.... :)
Oh my God! You are soo right, this book is amazing! Did you love Edward as much as I do? The whole book is so interesting and I was really able to tell the tension between Bella and Edward in the first chapter. There is one thing I did not like though and I would love to know your opinion on this... team Jacob or team Edward?
ReplyDeleteYes I know! This book was amazing. Edward was precisely one of my favorite characters too. The love story and the drama it’s great. Bella and Edward were like a couple made in heaven. They had lots of conflicts but in the end were still strong. To be honest, I can’t choose a team. I prefer Bella with Edward but, I love Jacob! What is your favorite?
DeleteMy favorite is definitely Jacob. I feel that the way the author portrays him may not be exactly like he has any chance with Bella and that sort of looses the whole excitement of figuring out who will Bella end up with. As I'm sure you've noticed with the rest of the books, the contrast with Jacob and Edward are immense having no similarities at all. I feel like Jacob can be so much more in this fantasy novel and the author Stephanie Meyer did not quite take enough time to show all his true self.
DeleteI believe that Stephen Meyer did a good job in giving traits to each character. Imagine if Edward and Jacob had lots in common, it would be harder for Bella to decide her destiny. Edward, in my opinion, is the best partner for Bella. He is loving and protective towards her. He wants what is best for her while I see Jacob as a friend type. I did not like the fact that Jacob asked Bella chose who she wanted to be with when he knew that she was in love with Edward. So personally, Edward for me has the right characteristics to be with Bella.
