Twilight , yes im reading it again . if you have any suggestions for good books, i would love that :)

Assignment # 1
1. Who is the author? How many books has he or she written? Is there any other biographical information you could give about him or her that is important?
2. What is your book about? Describe the basic plot of the book in 100 - 150 words. This should be your own description, though, and not come from the back of the book or from an online source!
3. What is the setting of the book? Remember to explain in detail all three elements of the setting: time, place & atmosphere.
4. Pick a main character -preferably the protagonist - from the novel. Describe that character by choosing two personality traits that the character exhibits. Each trait you chose should be fully supported with examples and explanations to prove how that character demonstrates these traits.
5. Give a basic review of how much you are enjoying the book so far. Is it enjoyable? Is it any good? What do you like/dislike about it?



1. Stephenie Meyer wrote twilight along with the other 3 books of the saga. she has written 7 books in total. Stephenie is 35 and now has her own day in Forks, Washington which is September 13 because that's is the character, Bella's, birthday.
2. Twilight is about a teenage girl, Bella Swan. she has recently moved to Forks, Washinton from Arizona. she is living with her father, Charlie, who is the town chief policeman. She gets involved with a boy from school who he and his family doesn't really talk to anyone else. Reason ? They're vampires. Edward (the vampire) and Bella quickly fall in love. this is a big problem for Edward and his family but he cannot help it.
3.The setting of twilight is in Forks, Washington. the book is set around fall of 2005 and ends about a year later. The atmosphere changes from miserable, since Bella doesn't like the constant rainy weather or the change to new school, to an 'animated' feeling. i say animated because she is so in love with Edward, it seems unrealistic (to me at least).
4. I think Bella Swan is plain and mildly apathetic. I think she is plain because not only does the book describe her looks as plain but we see how she thinks ; and it's also plain. Her ideas aren't very 'out of the box' she may not think like an average preppy teenager, but she doesn't have any extraordinary thoughts on life. To me , Bella Swan is apathetic because she doesn't seem to talk very much to her friends, or try to be included. She doesn't seem to care about what they have to say and i think she should be a little more grateful of them.
5. I love
the whole Twilght saga. Yes, i am enjoying the book although I am reading it for the second time. It's not that I dislike the book, but i tend to read it before bed because i don't really have anything else to do and it gives me very weird dreams. i can't give you an example, but just odd atmospheres to the dream and i wake up very warm (i don't like to be warm when i sleep , I'd prefer cold).
