The Author

She wrote three another books in the Twilight story so this is the last book. Two of them have also been filmed and the third movie is coming to the theaters in approx half a year.

Summary of the Story
Bella gets pregnant and everyone thinks she’s going to die, the creature in her is half human half vampire. When she gives birth to the baby Edward need to transform her into a vampire, so she can survive. Bella have waited for that ever since she fell in love with Edward, so she’s very happy. The book’s about her life as a vampire and their baby Renesmee.

Content
The story takes place in the 20th century and the surrounding environment is the town Forks, the rainiest place in America. The surrounding is not described so well, I think it’s easier for me to imagine it because I know the environment from the movies. She’s more focused on describing feelings and persons. I think it’s also because she’s described the same environment 3 times before, so she maybe assumes that people know. I actually couldn’t find an example which is obvious for the environment.

The main characters are Bella and Edward. Bella is a human and Edward is a vampire. They’ve fall in love and are now getting married. Bella is a very kind person, who moved to forks to live with her dad. At her new school she meets Edward, who isn’t like the other boys, he’s pure perfection. His skin is pale white, and ice cold, he’s impossible fast and strong. After a while Bella discovers what he is, a vampire. Their love shouldn’t exist, it’s impossible, it’s against the nature. But somehow Bella and Edward were brought together. Edward was born 200 years ago, so there are major differences between them. Edward has learned every language,

    In the story, “The Painted Door,” Sinclair Ross creates a mood of bitter cold, extreme isolation and loneliness. For the environmental means, the story is set in winter and there is a large snowstorm coming. The isolation of the farmland is made abundantly clear when we learn the closest neighbouring farm is “five miles away.” The physical setting of the environment is important to a good story as it reflects the moods and emotions of the characters and it gives the reader a glimpse into how the characters are feeling. The environment of a story can also be used to bring out issues between the characters or as a technique for foreshadowing what is to come later in the story. The mental setting of Ann is that of the physical environment. She has turned cold and indifferent toward her husband John; her feelings are stormy because she longs for another man but struggles with the guilt of it all. Both of these physical and mental settings contribute to the climax and conclusion of the story. The repetition of Ann’s feelings of boredom, loneliness and indifference all contribute to the reader really understanding her emotional turmoil. Ross also uses the physical description of the storm to describe the feelings of Anne towards the two men. She is conflicted and is going back and forth between hot and cold for both John and Steven. This emotion is also made clear with the help of describing the fire in the stove going from hot to cold and back to hot again. Sinclair Ross does a great job at using the flames and heat of the fire to describe her unresolved feelings for not only her husband, but for Steven as well. A great deal of this story is spent describing Ann’s environment, both inside and outside of her home. The barrenness of the surroundings in which the characters live is probably the most vividly expressed theme of the entire story and gives clues to how it is possible for Anne to engage…

    Bite of Twilight

    The feminist idea was designed to define, establish, and defend equal political, economic, and social rights for women. In the articles Taking a Bite Out of Twilight, written by Carmen D. Siering an assistant professor of English and women’s studies at Bell State University, and Two Ways a Women Can Get Hurt, written by Jean Kilbourne who is an award winning author and educator, the idea of feminism in today’s media is questioned. Seiring writes about a popular book, titled Twilight, and how the main female character of the novel goes against the idea of feminism. Kilbourne, however, writes about how advertising in today’s society is portraying women in a distinctively non-feminist way. Both authors are trying to convey to their readers that women are still being subconsciously shown in a negative light.…

    The story’s setting takes place in a peaceful little town, on Pleasant Street where seemingly nice old lady Miss Adela Stangeworth lives and on Main Street which is literally the main street of the city where services such as the family owned grocery store, the soda shop and the post office are found. The time of year is summer and the weather seems to be very nice as written in the story, “Miss Strangeworth took deep breaths and thought that there was nothing in the world like a fragrant summer day” (Jackson, 249). The author makes the setting of the story…

    “The town itself is dreary; not much is there except the cotton mill”. This description reminded me of the time I used to live in Hanford, CA, which is located in the south central San Joaquin Valley. Just like the story, I also founded Hanford to be dreary because there wasn’t much to do, and the only “fun” place in town was the mall, which was spooky at times because my friends and I would be the only ones hanging out there. Although there wasn’t a cotton mill in Hanford, there were sure a lot of dairies so the air smelled like cow waste every single day. The weather also matches the story’s description: “the winters here are short and raw, the summers white with glare and fiery hot”. During summer, temperatures would rise up to 110 degrees,…

    Knock Me Up

    In the movie, Bella who is the main character, is shown with a big belly due to that she is pregnant. While giving birth, viewers get to actually see Bella’s naked belly and her screaming and crying. The baby comes out covered in blood. And at one point, the camera zooms out for the viewers to see the full body of Bella that is covered from the thighs and up, but her legs are laid out with blood between them. This helps to support the thesis because one of the key scenes was when the baby finally comes out and the husband, Edward, is carefully holding the baby while smiling happily at it. This gives the audience a reassuring thought that everything Bella went through was worth it. The audience is once reminded again of how cherishable it is for a new life to come into this…

    Superfluous Man

    • 5 Pages

    The first story of the novel is Bella’s story. Although Maxim Maximych is not the most descriptive narrator of the novel and despite the fact that he is quite naïve as to the true nature of Pechorin his narrative of Bella’s and Pechorin’s interactions are informative of his character. Pechorin’s dissatisfaction with life is what leads him in search for love. Although Bella is not his first encounter with romance it is the first Lermontov wishes to share. Bella’s story is important because we quickly learn that deep sincere love is not enough to bring meaning and satisfaction to Pechorin’s life. Bella loves Pechorin genuinely, but he is unable to reciprocate that love. Lermontov displays how Pechorin’s superfluous nature leaves him bored and dissatisfied with Bella’s tender and sincere love. He admits he is “still in love with her”, and that he “would give his life for her” but she bores him (35).…

    Jackson uses imagery typical of an idyllic American town to show readers depravity can embed itself into the most seemingly harmless places. In the story’s first paragraph, Jackson describes the “fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green” (1). This description gives readers a clear vision of the town’s physical beauty. She misleads readers to associate the story’s setting with its plot…

    All great authors purposely select specific elements to amplify the settings of their stories. Edith Warten and Langston Hughes respectfully use the stings of their stories to enhance the mood, “Early Autumn” and the novel Ethan Frome. In the short story Early Autumn, Langston Hughes uses the setting to amplify the mood by implementing the heavily populated city and the dusk like atmosphere. In the novel Ethan Frome, Edith Warten uses the harsh and dull winter setting to emphasize the bitterness of the mood.…
