Just The Beginning . . .

It’s getting good!  In my current point in ‘Twilight’ Isabella Swann, also known as Bella has met eyes with this dreamy, boyish guy, Edward. She already likes the fact that he’s pale, even paler than herself. Already she shows plenty interest in him and his friends. He’s the only person so far that she actually wants to know about. All day on her first day of school, the other children couldn’t seem to stop staring at her, only a few were brave enough to approach her. She was the new kid and now she was the talk of the town. She not only wanted to get to know Edward because he was completely perfect looking, but also because he and his friends were excluded from everyone else; just as she was. They were newer to the school as well; except they’ve been there for 2 years. Edward was adopted by the Cullens who were a nice, young, and well known couple from Alaska. At first glance, Edward seemed to have been frustrated with something or somebody. Maybe he thought he knew Bella from the pass, or just maybe he was reading her mind. . . Well trying to. Better things seem to be coming from this book!

Reading for Plearsure

I, Jessica Destry will read a minimum of four books and make a conscientious effort to meet my individual goal  both inside and outside class. I plan to blog weekly about my experience of "reading for pleasure." The four books I plan to read are:
1. Twilight by Stephanie Meyers
2. Twilight Saga New Moon by Stephanie Meyers
3. Twilight Saga Eclipse by Stephanie Meyers
4.Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyers

Twilight

‘Twilight’ by Stephanie Meyers has already showed me that many books are way better than the movie. Not very far in the book honestly, but the story has already revealed more about the main character, Bella, than throughout the entire movie. I wasn’t really fond of the movie, but already I love the book and how each character is being presented. The protagonist, Bella, has just moved in with her father for the summer; her parents are separated. She’s not too happy about the move. She lived with her sometimes overbearing mother in the sunny and mostly warm weather in Phoenix, but now she was moving in with her dad who lived in Forks where it was rainy and miserable. Bella never fit in; even at home she felt out of place. She felt as if nobody understood her; they didn’t really know her like she knew herself. On the first page the narrator reveals that she will die in the arms of someone she loves; that caught my attention, very interesting. Her dad was the non-emotional type compared to her mother who was extremely emotional. Their emotional differences are most likely what caused them to go their separate ways.
