Final Paper

I choose to write my final paper on the Twilight series. This series has been split up into five movies. Currently only four movies have been released to theaters, but the fifth movie will be released in November 2012. The Twilight series has had my attention since the books came out. When the movies started to come out I couldn’t wait to see them. Here is a summary of all the movies.

Twilight is the first movies of the series; Bella is a teenage girl that moves from living with her mother in Arizona to live with her father in Forks, Washington. Bella falls in love with Edward. She learns he is a vampire but she doesn't care. Edward lives with his so called adopted family, that are other vampires. These vampires do not feed off humans they feed off animals. Another vampire tries to eat Bella but Edward and his vampire family known as the Cullen clan save her and kill the vampire James. James runs with two other vampires in his group by the name of Victoria and Laurent. After James dies Victoria and Laurent run off so that they don’t parish also.

The second movie of the series is New Moon and begins on Bella’s 18th birthday; she wakes up from a dream in which she sees herself as an old woman. She expresses her distaste with growing older than her boyfriend Edward Cullen, a vampire who stopped aging physically at 17. Despite her lack of enthusiasm, Edward's adoptive family throws Bella a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, Bella gets a paper cut, causing Edward's brother, Jasper, to become overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill her. Realizing the danger that he and his family pose to Bella, Edward ends their relationship, and the Cullens leave Forks, Washington. Edward's departure leaves Bella heartbroken and depressed for months; however, when her father, Charlie, finally decides to send her to live with her mother in Florida, Bella refuses and agrees to spend more time...
