New Moon

This week I started on the second book for the Twilight Saga. I serioualy LOVE this series because although the writer isn't brilliant and mind-boggling like those of the 18th century, her writing is easy to read for a teenager. It flows well and the thing is that you can't stop reading the book! I also know a few other people reading the same series, and they really enjoy it too.
So, in this book, a huge twist comes (if you don't like spoilers don't read :P). What happens is that the whole Cullen family leaves! Thus, Bella Swan is devasted and tries her best to act normal, but it doesn't quite work. She doesn't feel anything and goes through her day as if it was a ritual. She doesn't snap out of this for months and it's killing her father to see her like this.
Through this time that Bella is having, I think it shows how much her father cares about her. Before this book the author didn't mentiona whole lot of the thoughts of Charlier (the dad). However, now he is becoming a real main chracter and big part of Bella's life. Evernthough until now he was depicted as a bad father who always watched tv and didn't express his feelings much, now the reader knows another side of him. Charlie is actually a caring father who watches his daughter all the time, but at the same time trusts her enough to make the right decision. Sometimes he knows she needs help and will give her that help. Characterization does come in handy, huh?

Twilight

I've finished Twilight, now one of my favorite books from the 21st century :) The ending is a happy ending, but it doesn't wrap up the whole story quite yet. This series has four books in it, and soon I'm gona be reading the second book, New Moon.

Twilight is a clash between monster and human. However, the these of this is that both ends can live in harmony and love. I think the author is telling her readers that love is so strong that it doesn't matter what you are to love. It also shows how love is so strong that it gives courage to the person who has it, and nothing can out wit love. This book reminds me of another fantasy/magical book of the 21st century, Harry Potter.

Why these two books tie in together is that both of their themes are about the power of love and how it's the strongest thing on earth. Also, it shows bravery and difficult quests throughou the book. They're both also set in modern day time with teenagers as main characters. They're also both one of the thickest books I've ever seen/read! I don't have a preference between the two because they're both awesomeeeee books :)

Twilight

I am halfway through Twilight and it's suchhhhh a good book :)! I literally couldn't stop reading...man I sound like a nerd now. I'm also excited for the movie that's coming out really soon. I want to compare the book to the movie, and I'm pretty sure the book will be better since that's what usually happens. But we'll see...
The protagonist in this book, Isabelle (people call her Bella), is someone very mature and intelligent for her age, but also very clumsy. She is independent and brave, but also quite quiet self-conscious. Overall she would be a wangdda, but because she's the new-girl in a town so small, she gets noticed by many people.
I think in some parts of the story she reminds me of myself, or I can connect to her. For example, I can be self-conscious sometimes, but I know it's a bad habit I have. Also, Bella cooks for her dad and sometimes I cook and take care of my house when my mom isn't home. Another trait is that like Bella, sometimes I think TOO much, and it's not always good or bad. Lastly, I'm also quite clumsy. I trip, stumble, and I'm not always cautious. I can relate to how Bella feels!

Twilight

Finally I have started a new book, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's a bit easier book than Pride and Prejudice, and I think I will enjoy reading it. Also, it's coming out as a movie soon so after I read the book I'd like to go see the movie and compare the two.
This book is about a new girl in town(quite a small town) who never fits into anywhere, falls in love with a vampire. It sounds like "traditional vampire story," but its setting makes it different. It's about teenagers my age and the setting is the 21st century. I think this shows a lot of how setting affects a story. Setting can make a story seem old or new. What I mean is that the setting can change the story so that the readers also change. Twilight, though the idea is old-fashioned, the setting is very modern so teenagers will read it. However, if the setting was the 50's or 60's in a haunted mansion with a vampire in a black and red tux and the woman in a long, slender dress, that would definitely NOT attract teenagers.
I hope to read more of this book and finish it quick!
