Edward Cullen In 'Twilight' By Stephenie Meyers
In proportion to a prominent declaration that is referenced by Stephenie Meyers from the novel Twilight, happens to entitle an astonishing significance to the novel itself. In addition, the statement on page 84, from Meyers in Twilight (said by Edward Cullen), states as follows, “I said it would be better if we weren’t friends, not that I didn’t want to be…It would be more prudent for you not to be my friend. It would be your choice, if our friendship continues. But I’m tired of trying to stay away from you, Bella.” In other words, this statement would be an great example of the true meaning of protection and caring for. Protection that is, is being able to provide safety for yourself, as in most cases, providing safety towards others. Nonetheless, …show more content…
In which, the statement comes to be, (on page 84), stated by Edward in Twilight, “I said it would be better if we weren’t friends, not that I didn’t want to be…It would be more prudent for you not to be my friend. It would be your choice, if our friendship continues. But I’m tired of trying to stay away from you, Bella.” Nevertheless, further towards the novel helps to illustrate the highest potential amount of compassion, caring, and protection Edward delivers to Bella. In reference to the novel named, Twilight on page 56, Bella thoughts states, “Then his hands moved so fast they blurred. One was suddenly gripping under the body of the van, and something was dragging me, swinging my legs around like a rag doll’s, till they hit the tire of the tan car. A groaning metallic thud hurt my ears, and the van settled, glass popping, onto the asphalt---exactly where, a second ago, my legs had been. How did he get here so fast?” While Edward on page 57, mentions, “Bella? Are you all right? Be careful. I think you hit your head pretty hard. Don’t move.” In other words, this establishes how Edward had risk exposing himself of being a vampire, just to save Bella from getting severely hit by the van. This demonstrates how Edward didn’t think of himself, the only thought on his mind was Bella’s safety, thus providing her protection. Within this act of heroic action, had held an extreme compassionate side on Edward’s part towards Bella. As you can perceive, from the statement from page 84, mention by Edward in the novel Twilight, that states, “I said it would be better if we weren’t friends, not that I didn’t want to be…It would be more prudent for you not to be my friend.

    The story of Edward Scissorhands was intended to be much more than your average meaningless film. It is a story that intends to display the problems of today’s society from an outsider’s point of view. Furthermore, the film portrays how society judges others based on appearance and puts the reality second. Tim Burton, the director of the film, develops upon this point, as it is a crucial theme in the film, and exposes the viewer to the true consequences of the bias judgment that occurs in our society. Edward Scissorhands also presents the conformity and social normality that society has been adopted.…

    I don’t know what you understand about Twilight - the film – but here’s what I got out of the film. The guy goes, ‘Hey, I’m a blood thirsty vampire who can suck the life out of people…oh… and I might kill you if we start dating’. Then she goes, ‘OK’. If someone says that to me, I would sprint a mile… even though he can run about a 1000 times faster than me. Well… I would still try. No one in their right mind would want to stay there and not run away… maybe he hypnotised her already with his extraordinarily clichéd good-looks and a body that shines miraculously in the sun.…

    If Twilight is a vampire story with the sex removed, it is also a vampire story with the violence removed. Though violence does occur, in the books it is told at a remove: Bella is always being told about what happened, not actually seeing it and experiencing it for herself, because, of course, girls are far too delicate for anything bloody and dangerous and painful. This is particularly noticeable in the books, because the two movies so far have done the best they could at showing the violence which is only alluded to in the books. Of course, this is made possible because the movies aren’t so tightly focused on Bella’s point of view and can show us things she…
