Northanger Abbey Let Down

So i was under the impression that in our Twilight Comp 2 class that all the reading material would pertain to vampires but i was mistaken. I had the unfortunate opportunity to read Northanger Abbey which I feel was a waste of my life. The book just dragged along the entire time and i felt like i was waiting for some thing big and exciting to happen that never came. It was a real pain to read at first and continued but the mystery of why we had to read this book kept my hopes high for a good climax. The characters were not exciting at all, they just seemed very plain. The only character with any interesting qualities was Mr.Tinley. He was the villain of the book and at best was just a bad person who had not done anything really that bad out of the norm. I think maybe during the time this book was released it was exciting and interesting but living in 2012 it does nothing for me. From the love story to the lame problems it has no significant value and will soon be forgotten. There was no vampire but our teacher described General Tinley as having some of the same characteristics as our commonly found vampires. He sucked the life out of his wife with out a drop of blood but by not being a good husband. I would not recommend this become to any one under the age of 75.

Why do we blame twilight?

Twilight is a very popular book and movie but with such popularity comes hatred. I understand people have different taste in things but what i don't understand is the amount of energy some of these people who hate twilight put into bashing it. I am really taken back by some of the ludicrous assumption people make. I know for myself that if i dislike some thing I don't read the book or watch the movie, but some of these nay Sayer's seem to know more about the Twilight series then your typical team Edward love struck 14 year old girl. It seems like a lot of time and energy put in to some thing that makes you upset or is it possible that deep down inside they really do like Twilight. Some people treat Twilight like due to its popularity its a mandated reading material for any human breathing air but the truth is no one is shoving the book down your throat and if you hate it why not stop wasting your time with it. Then we come to the people that just like to bitch about any thing and there entire lives and social circles are based around hatred. These are the people who really hate themselves and cant find any enjoyment out of life so they do what they know best and spread there own pain. Some of the claims people make are insane. I am not one to tend to read negative article reviews about any thing let alone twilight but our teacher has assigned us to. First i believe they are a waste of my time because i don't like negativity and two they are full of drawling irrational conclusion from a fiction book. for example the claim that Twilight is is saying that abuse on women is OK. First I never picked that up when i read the book the first time maybe because i was not looking for some thing to hate. I see what she is trying to do and the fact is that this is a fiction book. The characters are not human they are animals and vampires with human qualities. She is trying to hold human society standards to a made up book not even about humans. I think its just a ploy for attention, she needed to make a outlandish assumption to get attention. If there is any negative message being sent out by the book i can tell you Stephanie Myers is not to blame. The parents that allow there 14 year old daughter is to blame. Then i think the whole literary industry is to blame for not having a age rating system for books. The fact is that this is a fiction book written about fiction characters and fiction situations. For any who is mentally sane and lives on planet earth can plainly see this.

Cougars take on Jacob or Edward

This weekend i went out with some friends to local dance club where I met some very attractive older women that i decided to talk to. Things went well and we ended up at Denny's afterwards. While waiting for our food and the fact that Denny's only had one person working and 80 customers we had plenty of time to talk. Some how the topic of Twilight was brought up by one of the women. I have heard the plenty of girls around my age debated over Jacob and Edward but i had never witness to grown women both having children discuss who is hotter. One women was in favor of Jacob and loved his body and thought he was dreaming. The other women said Jacob has a huge nose that only would look right on a pig. They both agreed that Edward looked like a poster child for feed the children. I got a good laugh out of this conversation and did not interfere for the fact i am a closeted Twilight fan. What i thought was most interesting was there take on Bella. They felt Bella was ugly, dorky, and in real life no man would ever fight over here. I enjoyed the conversation and really don't have a opinion on who is hotter for i was more interested in the blonde having the conversation but i believe both of them are handsome men. I do have to side with the women on the topic of Bella, she isn't much to desire i would rather fight for Rosalie or Alice or even Mrs. Cullen hahaha.
