Title: The Great Twilight Discussion
Rating: K
Length: One-shot
Summary: I talk about Twilight.
Hello all and welcome to my random rambling. Today I'm going to talk to you about Twilight.
Twilight has been around since 2005, and sold over 100 million copies as of March 2010. It's been translated into over 38 different languages and enjoyed by people all over the world. The main characters are Isabella "Bella" Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black. According to the author (Stephenie Meyer), it's about "love, not lust" and "life, not death".
This is something I quoted from Wikipedia: Meyer says that the books are centered around Bella's choice to choose her life on her own, and the Cullens' choices to abstain from killing rather than follow their temptations: "I really think that's the underlying metaphor of my vampires. It doesn't matter where you're stuck in life or what you think you have to do; you can always choose something else. There's always a different path."
Twilight all began in June 2003, from a dream that Meyer had. If you read chapter 13, then you'll get the rough idea of what Meyer thought (IE, a girl in love with a vampire that thirsted for her blood). Not only has the series been a huge phenomenon since, there has also been a HUGE influx of tourism to the small Olympic town of Forks, Washington.
I'm a huge Twihard myself, so anyone that dislikes Twilight (including my two BFFLs), should get a foot put up their butt. I love the cannon couples! So, that's it. Thanks so much for reading my little talk about the Twilight Saga. :)
