ReplyDeleteI’ll tell you about a romantic, fantastic, interesting, and horrific novel. It is out of this world. It’s called “New Moon” I’ve not finished reading yet, and I’m exactly on page 337. The author is an American woman, Stephanie Meyer, and she was known by her fantastic series of novels which is called Twilight. She was born in 1973, and she grew up in Arizona. She said that she was conservative about her believes and she didn’t drink alcohol or smoke, so in my opinion I think she is devout. She had never written even a short story before Twilight, but she changed her mind after the birth of her old son. After that, She has been become the famous author among young adult readers, and her fans have been become crazy about the characters of her novels. They dress up like them and buy their photos and the products which have their pictures, me too also, so I think she made a new brand! In addition, she had the bestselling book in 2008, 2009, and 2010 because of her series. This novel includes complicated aspects, events, and emotions. There are three classifies of characters in this novel: The first were humans, the others were vampires, and the last were werewolves. They lived in the same area which was Forks, and then they traveled to the other places. Also, there was a dispute between werewolves and vampires long time ago, but they made a solution that the vampire shouldn’t kill the humans, and if they do, the werewolves will attack them. One of the humans who was Bella felt in love with one of the vampires who was Edward, so that made a dangerous problem for her because the vampires were thirsted for her blood, so any time Edward’s family could kill her if they see or smell her blood. Then she decided to change her life to be a vampire, but that cause a big breaking in her heart because Edward didn’t want she to do that, so he left her alone. In fact, if any one of my classmate herd about the series, read the previous novel, or saw the first move of Stephanie’s series, I strongly recommend this novel to him/her for three reasons: loyalty, sacrifices, and the complicated situations that make me don’t want to stop at end of any line.
ReplyDeleteAll of we know that loyalty is the most important part in our characters, so I really follow the events in this novel because of many aspects of loyalty. For example, Edward’s brother was anxious to kill Bella when she tried to open her gift, but Edward protected her. That event forced Edward to leave the city with his family to protect Bella’s life even though he loved her too much. Then he said to Bella, “I’m not good enough for you. No more love!” And he told her that should promise him to protect her life and don’t do anything recklessness for him. I very sure that he give us a great example of loyalty.
The second reason why I recommend this novel is the wonderful sacrifices that Bella did. For example, Bella decided to change her fact to be a vampire to be with Edward all her life. In addition, when Edward left her, she isolated herself from the society and felt wistful. Then she was trying to do anything recklessness just to see Edward, for example, she rode a motorcycle recklessly because she could see Edward’s soul talked to her to stop doing these dangerous actions.
This novel really makes me don’t want to stop at end of any line because of the complicated situations. To clarify, Bella’s life was in danger, and another vampire whose name was Victoria was trying to kill her because Edward killed her boyfriend who had tried to kill Bella, but the werewolves was protecting her life. Furthermore, After Edward left her alone, she became close to Jacob who was a werewolf, and she felt in love with him. During this period of time, both of Edward and Jacob felt Jealous from each other.
Overall, if you want to know more about what will happen to Bella and her two lovers, or to realize how the loyalty and sacrifice affect our lives, I really recommend this novel for you.
Let us finish this novel. Who will finish it? And who will tell us about the end?
