My Opinion On Blogging

When we first learned that we would be blogging for class, I thought it was going to be a very fun, easy, quick way to receive points. It was simple to choose my topic (Twilight) because I can ramble on and on about it. It is my favorite book series and one of my favorite movies. I started off being able to think of good ideas for blogs, but I soon realized that it was harder than I thought to keep talking about Twilight even though it is one of my passions. So, it became more tough for me to be able to sit down and blog three posts of 250 or more words per week. I soon began to lose most of my interest for blogging, which is pretty sad, because I'm sure it has reflected in my grade. I wish that I could just blog about anything I want for every single post, even if each time it is about something different. I think that next term when we resume our blogging, I am going to change my topic to something that I know for sure will not be hard for me to write about for a long period of time. So, all in all, I do enjoy blogging, but not when I can't find anything to say about my initial topic. I will be ready next term!

HOT, HOT, HOT!

Top Ten Things About Bella Swan:

1. She is very sarcastic.
2. She has a mind of her own and doesn't feel the need to conform to others' ideas.
3. She is very smart.
4. She seems to attract people very quickly.
5. She is a danger magnet.
6. She doesn't like to talk about her feelings with her dad.
7. She has an unreadable mind.
8. She falls in love with the most gorgeous boy on earth.
9. She wants to become a vampire.
10. She is best friends with a werewolf.

Every little quality about both Edward and Bella is intriguing and fascinating. I never get bored with reading about the two of them. They are such opposites that they are bound to attract. In the first book, Twilight, you get to experience their love taking off in full bloom as they get to know each other and begin to spend time with each other. At the end of Twilight the two of them know that they are in love. During the second book, New Moon, other plans take place. Edward thinks that he is being selfish by staying with Bella because he feels as though he is risking her life. He decides to leave and pretend like he had never been a part of her life. Both Bella and Edward went through a phase of depression after Edward decided to leave, and pretty soon Edward couldn't handle it anymore so he had to come back and check on Bella. When he came back, what he saw scared him. Bella was doing all kinds of reckless things with her new best friend Jacob Black, the werewolf. Vampires and werewolves have had a strong hatred for each other since before anyone can remember. Anyways, Edward contemplated the situation and decided that he would once again rejoin Bella. At first, Bella thought that Edward was a hallucination because she hadn't seen him in such a long time, and it was completely improbable that he would come back. But, after time, she realized that what was happening was real, and she was ecstatic. Bella and Edward started off their relationship again, although this time around Charlie wasn't very keen about Edward anymore. He didn't trust him, and he didn't want to see Bella suffer like that ever again. As time went on, Bella and Edward fell even deeper in love, if that was possible. They were very fond of each other, and could not ever imagine being separated again. In the final book of the series, Breaking Dawn, Bella is transformed into a vampire after giving birth to her and Edward's child, Reneesme. After the transformation is complete and Bella gains full vampire abilities, the Cullen clan is surprised to see that she is a natural. Bella is graceful and swift, and she doesn't seem to crave blood like most newborns do. They think this is because of how much time Bella spent with them when she was a human. Through their married life Bella and Edward stay just as in love as they were when they first laid eyes on each other, and this would never change. Not in a million years.

Cast of Twilight the Movie

For the movie Twilight, it took a long time to figure out who would play each role. It was hard to find people to portray vampires because they are described as the most beautiful people in the world. But, in the end everything worked out wonderfully!

Cast:
Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan
Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen
Billy Burke as Charlie Swan
Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen
Nikki Reed as Rosalie Hale
Jackson Rathbone as Jasper Hale
Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen
Peter Facinelli as Dr. Carlisle Cullen
Cam Gigandet as James
Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black
Anna Kendrick as Jessica Stanley
Michael Welch as Mike Newton
Christian Serratos as Angela Weber
Gil Birmingham as Billy Black
Elizabeth Reaser as Esme Cullen
Edi Gathegi as Laurent
Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria
Sarah Clarke as Renee Dwyer
Ned Bellamy as Waylon Forge
Gregory Tyree Boyce as Tyler Crowley
Justin Chon as Eric Yorkie
Matt Bushell as Phil Dwyer
Jose Zuniga as Mr. Molina
Solomon Trimble as Sam Uley

Those are the main characters, and all of them are credited in the movie. These actors and actresses worked their butts off to make one of the best movies in the world! Twilight the book series can never be portrayed exactly the same in a movie, but in my opinion, this group of people made it somewhat possible. They did better than I had expected they would do, and it was a nice surprise.

For the next movie, New Moon, the producers are keeping all of the same main characters that were in Twilight. I know there was some discussion about replacing Taylor Lautner because of how young he looks, but that is all cleared up now. He will indeed be back in New Moon.
