Twilight #6

When I was finished with the first book I decided to move on to the second book in the series called New Moon. While I was reading this book, I found out that Jacob Black was a werewolf. After finding this out, I think that these books are very unrealistic, and I don’t really like how many mystical characters there are. It is too much of a mix of Harry Potter and a normal book. Once I finish this book in the series, I do not think I am going to keep on reading the books because they are so unrealistic and there is always a new thing that goes wrong. After reading just one and a half of the books in the four book series, I think the other books would get really repetitive. Also Bella is even more of a whiner in this book than she was in the first one. She also takes a lot of unnecessary risks just to hear Edwards voice, which I think is stupid and I wonder why Stephenie Meyer even puts this in the book because it is so stupid.

Twilight #5

The movie, Twilight, and the book are very different in my opinion because they tweeked alot of the plot for the movie by adding and leaving out some of the plot from the book. For instance, in the book Bella seemed to have a very good relationship with Charlie and made him dinner all the time. In the movie however they didn’t really talk and they always went out for dinner. Although the movie and book had a lot of differences, there was one scene that seemed to be a very good representation of the book. This was when they played baseball in the field. I thought this a good representation because it seemed just how I had pictured it while I was reading the book. If I had to choose between the book and the movie to say which one I liked better I would say it was the book because it went into more details. Also, the acting in the movie was terrible in my opinion.

Twilight #4

After reading Twilight, a scene that continues to stick out to me is the battle scene with the other vampire, James. I liked this part because it was a very intense battle and it made me want to keep reading. This battle was a lot like some battle scenes you see in movies or TV shows, a battle versus good and evil. A TV show that I watch everyday after school which always has one of these intense battles is NCIS because they always have to put a bad guy facing punishment behind bars. Or sometimes, the bad guy gets killed by the good guys for not cooperating, like not putting his gun down or something. Getting killed by the good guys is just like what happened to James when he gets killed by the Cullens for trying to kill Bella.

Twilight #3

Twilight, the book that I am reading, in my opinion can relate to a lot of movies and books because it is a typical love story. It reminds me of the movie the Titanic. I think this because Rose and Jack come from two different worlds, which is just like Edward and Bella. In the book however it isn’t money that is separating them, it is that Edward isn’t human. Also just like Titanic when Jack and Rose were willing to do anything for each other, and Jack died so that Rose could live. That is like Edward and Bella because they are willing to do anything for one another. Bella is willing to give up her normal life so that she can be with Edward forever. Twilight can also very easily relate to Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet because there love is also forbidden.
