Why Twilight?


There are a lot of people who have a strong view on Twilight, whether it be an opposing view or positive view. Everyone seems to ask, “Why Twilight?”. Before I can talk about why others seem to love or hate Twilight, I have to say way Twilight works for me.  
Besides the typical teenage romance that most teenagers fall for, I saw Twilight for more than just that. You have Bella, her parents are divorced and she has to move to a new state and school. So, there are two things that catch my attention and make her similar to me. My parents are divorced and I, like many others have had to pick up and move to a new state, new school, and meet completely new people.  This is really tough on a teenage girl, which I guess is why I like Bella. 
After saying that, of course I am in love with the romance drama in Twilight. It makes the idea of dating exciting, although my boyfriends have never been a vampire or sparkly. Twilight leaves a lot to the imagination and makes it seem real.
Meyer leaves you with the question of what is going to happen next? For me, this is why I can’t seem to put the books down. Every time I go to reread them, I find myself sinking right back into the story.

  1. I think a lot of girls can relate to Bella in at least one way or another.. she plays such a boring character but that's somewhat the beauty of it.

  2. I was interested in Twilight as well because of how easy it was to relate to Bella. Her family life and group of friends despite them being vampires can be very realistic.
