IRJE # 8 Twilight

I have been reading the book, Twilight written by Stephine Myer and I have really been enjoying it, considering I have watched all five movies numerous times. Twilight is a novel that blends romance fantasy and suspense. It focuses on the story of Bella Swan, teenager who moves from Arizona to the small town of forks to live with her father, Charlie. Her life takes a big turn when she meets Edward Cullen, mysterious and attractive young man who later reveals to her that he is a vampire. As Bella becomes more interested in Edward, she discovers the scary truth about him and his family, leading to tension and supernatural elements. The book explores themes of love sacrifice and mystical creatures, while making an interesting world make leaves the reader never want to stop reading. Even though some parts of the characters and plot may feel a little dramatic and cringy the emotional depth of the story keeps me wanting to read.

“Can I ask just one more?” I pleaded as Edward accelerated too quickly down the street. He didn’t seem to be paying any attention to the road.

He sighed.

“One,” he agreed his lips pressed together into a conscious line.

“Well…. you said you knew I hadn’t gone to the bookstore and that I had gone south, I was wondering how you knew that.”

He looked away, deliberating.

“I thought we were past all the evasiveness,” I grumbled.

He almost smiled.

“Fine then, I followed your sent.” (p.146)

This quotation is representing the conflict between Bella and Edward. Bella and her friends decided to go dress shopping for the prom that was soon to come, and Bella proceeded to go to a bookstore, by herself later to be followed by a whole bunch of strange men, somehow Edward found her, picked her up, and took her to dinner. What this quotation is said they’re in Edwards car driving home as Bella is questioning Edward on how he knew where she was when she was, to Edward later admitting how he knew, her “sent”.
