Twilight Book Report
Twilight is a series of four vampire-themed fantasy romance novels written by American author Stephenie Meyerv and the first novel is called Twilight with the same article as the series. It is about a love story of a girl and a vampire. Bella Swan moves to the cloudy town of Forks to live with her father, Charlie. For the first day of school, she finds herself on friendly terms with a few of the kids. She has lunch together with her new friends and meets Edward Cullen for the first time. She is transfixed by the beautiful Edward Cullen and gets to know more about him after she is saved with Edward’s supernatural speed and strength from an accident. They sonly fall in love with each other. With the protection of the Cullen family, she escapes from James, who tries to kill her. Unfortunately, she is seriously wounded, but Edward rescues her.
Twilight is an original story which interested me a lot because it tells about a love story between two ‘people’ from a human world and a vampire world whose relationship is a typical and special one. The story line goes in a clear way and it lures me a lot to know about how the next step goes to.
My favourite part of the book is the chapter ‘hide and seek’ which its article has already got my attention from my first sight. The chapter talks about how James tries to trick Bella to the dance studio that he has got her mother and attacks her. The description makes an atmosphere with suspense and mystery to excite readers and lead them to guess the plot.
I would like to meet Edward the most. As a vampire, I believe he has a tough life to live in a human’s world and follow others’ living habit. I am so impressed with the power and the special gifts he received that he can read others’ mind. I would like to ask him questions about vampire’s history and what kinds of innate technique do other vampires get cause I am very interested it them. Lastly, I would ask if he ever think that being a human is better than transforming into

    First let’s examine the character analysis of the books of Twilight relating to the postmodernist concept of “pastiche.” The characters Twilight author Stephenie Meyer created are a normal human girl that happens to fall in love with a vampire who thirsts for her blood and befriends another boy who will later transform into a werewolf. “Pastiche” is part of the complex concept of postmodernism. Jameson describes postmodernism as “specific reactions against…high modernism” and “the erosion of the older distinction between high culture and so-called mass or popular culture,” and specifies postmodernism’s use in “that newly emergent social order of late capitalism” (Jameson 1-3). The Twilight story does not exactly fit all aspects of this certain definition and usage of postmodernism, but it applies postmodernist consumer theories in a way. Using a “pastiche,” “the imitation of a peculiar or…

    Deemed the new modern day Romeo and Juliet, Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight reintroduces the idea of “forbidden love”. However, Meyer’s Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are not simply rewritten versions of Romeo and Juliet. Instead, when comparing these two stories together, the reader can recognize more than the “forbidden love” that occurs between two opposing sides in both books, but they can also use the comparison to understand each character as individuals more thoroughly.…

Following the death of his brother, which he blames on himself, he begins living very recklessly, attempting to entice anyone to end his life. A vampire named Lestat, looking for a slave, turns him into a vampire. From the beginning, Lestat ridicules Louis for his empathy towards humans. Louis begins to feel hatred towards Lestat and wants to leave him. In an effort to keep Louis, Lestat transforms a young girl, Claudia, into a vampire. Louis and Lestat treat her as their daughter. Lestat teaches her how to hunt, kill and live like a vampire, while Louis tries to educate her, so that she could embrace the beauty of the world. Claudia, unable to grow up, also develops hatred towards Lestat for creating her. Claudia plots to kill Lestat and threatens Louis not to interfere. Claudia’s attempt to kill Lestat fails, but as he attacks the two, Louis sets him on fire and knocks him out with a blow to the head.

    Novel writing requires imagination, creativity and talent. In fiction writing, there has to be consistency in the “character, description, experiences, background, behavior and actions of the character”, says Elizabeth Young, a London-based literary critic and author. Consistency, as defined by David Farkas in his study entitled The Concept of Consistency in Writing and Editing from the College of Engineering Scientific and Technical Communication Program, University of Washington, Seattle, is the “orderly treatment of a set of linked elements, and it is a necessary characteristic of polished, highly readable prose.” Young says either consistency or explanation is required for the time frame, scene and setting, motivations and all other aspects of who, what, when, where, how and why. It helps to imagine fictional scenes as theatrical stage set, where a stage setter or grip insures that each and every item is exactly where it should be from scene to scene.…
