THE MOVIE:

While I sit in a chair at my town’s closest theater with an unbelievably attractive man on my right and my best friend on my left I know that this is going to be a great opening night for New Moon and that I am going to enjoy it. I was anxious to see the movie that had captivated my own mind. Since it was opening night me and my friends had gathered together to attend the midnight showing.

New Moon that had come out on November 20, 2009 featured many new characters such as: Aro (Michael Sheen), Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower), Marcus (Christopher Heyerdhal), Alec (Cameron Bright), and Jane (Dakota Fanning). The most known of the actors mentioned is: Dakota Fanning. Fanning was in multiple famous movies like: War of the Worlds, I am Sam, and The Cat in the Hat. The fresh new faces added to the dramatic plot of the movie as the Volturi’s, a vampire clan that is the “closest thing to royalty” to the vampires have.

A character that was added to the phenomenon was Jacob Black. Jacob Black had been shown for a short time in the first movie. Bella and Jacob grow closer than best friends even though Bella would deny any account of flirtatious activities within each other.

Even though they are not officially dating they have their bumps in the road just as any couple would. Bella decides to do more daring activities due to the fact that she sees Edward every time during the activities. Edward tries to commit suicide while in Italy because he believes that Bella had died. When Bella hears that Edward is going to attempt to kill himself she heads to Italy to save him. The fact that she is leaving makes Jacob angry with her and says he won’t be there when she gets back. This isn’t the first time Jacob had left Bella when she needed him the most. Jacob had left Bella when he knew that he was her crutch to keep her up after Edward had moved away from their town of Forks, Washington.

THE BOOK:
There are four books in the saga written by the talented Stepehnie Meyer. The first book, Twilight, is about the main character, Bella Swan, who movies from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington. In the journey the first book takes Bella falls a quiet guy from her Biology Class. His name? Edward Cullen.

The second book, New Moon, continues where Twilight left off. Bella has to deal with the fact that Edward has left. As time passes slowly she finally begins to be around her friends, especially Jacob Black whom we briefly met in Twilight. Jacob uses all his might to flirt with Bella and to attempt to persuade her out of her love for Edward. But little does Bella know about Jacob’s occult lifestyle of being a werewolf, or mortal enemies to the vampires.

The third book, Eclipse, leads off from where we had left off at the end of New Moon. In the book Bella is torn between loving Jacob and Edward. The born-rivalry makes it impossible for them to be equality between loving Bella. But one tragedy will pull the two of the characters together to save the woman that they love.

The fourth book, Breaking Dawn, starts with Bella filling a car that she had received from Edward’s gas up. The story has various flash backs in the beginning to help under stand what will happen to them later in the story. The book shows both sides of views from Bella and Jacob but has a very satisfying ending.
