Breaking Dawn part 2 Trailer
The Breaking Dawn 2 trailer is some what of a teaser in my opinion. It shows Bella hunting but not in detail and also shows our favorite characters Jacob and Edward. Jacob tells Bella that he cant believe she is so much like her self after her transformation. I think that showing Jacob in the trailer leads us to believe his feeling are still there for Bella. The part with Edward is brief but depicts Bella and his passion still is intact. I believe the best part of the trailer is when Bella's red vampire eyes are shown. She looks very beautiful with red eyes. This trailer dose not give away much of the story line that is to come. It dose not represent and conflict or any thing that really grabs peoples attention. If i had never heard of Twilight and seen the Trailer i don't think i would even bother seeing the movie. This trailer may just be a taste of whats to come. I hope the next trailer offers us more. I think that this trailer is some what more geared towards the Twilight fans who have read the books and know what is going to happen. I kind of hope Breaking Dawn 2 dose not follow the book exactly and gives us some thing else. I am still excited about the movie but am waiting for the trailer that grabs me and brings back they passion for me.
My experience in Twilight Comp 2
When i Joined this class i did not know what to expect and did not give much thought to it. I was a closet Twilight fan convinced to join this class by a lady in the English department. My thoughts were only that it was going to be about Twilight and that's it. I feel that i have learned more about Vampires and Gothic literature then Twilight has offer. My only ideas of Vampires were the Cullens and Count Dracula. I have now learned about the Dynamics of the vampiric stories and characteristic of vampires. Learning these elements from many different stories has enlightened me to better understand story plots and characters. I find the ideology of vampires very interesting. I now see more depth in these stories then i could before. With learning all these elements it has allowed me to enjoy Gothic fiction like never before. I appreciate what i have learned and i feel it has expand my mind and vocabulary. I love to learn and I am so glad that my expectations for this class has been exceed beyond my imagination. I believe my writing has improved and also how i understand what i read but most of all my enjoyment for reading has been restored.
Twilight Suicide
For my blogs i try to research crazy stories surrounding around Twilight. This has to be the most outrageous article. Not in the since that suicide is a joke or the girls mental health but rather the author of the article. I want to state that due to the pure ridiculousness of this storey i don't believe it is true. This article is from Landoverbaptist.org "where the worthwhile come to worship and unsaved are not welcome". This is a extreme christian website. The story is of a teenage girl name Cindy May, told by pastor deacon Fred during church. The story goes that Cindy May skipped bible study and lied to her parents to go see Twilight with her friends. She arrived 15 minutes late and tip toed into the living room where her parents were. It says that "The Holy Ghost convicted her right there on the living room floor!" and she told her parents that she skipped Bible study to see Twilight. The father then grabbed Cindy May by the hair and threw her down to the basement where he proceeded to beat her with the bible. Pastor Deacon Fred describes it as "Mr. Reynolds spanked his ugly teenage daughter over her naked hind side with a King James Bible until she stopped crying, and the only words that came out of her lips before she lost consciousness were, 'I'm sorry, Daddy - I'm sorry I let you down. May Jesus forgive me.'" Wow keep in mind this was said during church. Cindy May was left in the basement for two hours to think about what she did, after two hours they found Cindy May had broke both her legs in a suicide attempt. This does not sound like the conventional suicide attempts i have heard of but oh well. The story goes on and Cindy May survives. Pastor Deacon Fred continues to describe Cindy May in such a way it hard to believe he is a man of god. "We all know that Cindy May is not one of the most attractive girls in this Church" this is a little raw. It only gets better listen to this, "Christian parents with unattractive teenage daughters should take heed that Twilight is a film that is driving ugly ducklings into fits of primal lust," he warned. "This movie preys on little unwanted girls, who can count the number of friends they have on one finger! WOW!!!! I cant believe any one would sit and lessen to him. ?Pastor Deacon Fred wraps it up with "Twilight suggests they should end their lives and become vampiresses to spend eternity with handsome vampire gentlemen who don't care how unsightly a young gal is to look upon!Twilight is hitting America's poor teenage Christian girls in their heart strings, promising them the gift of eternal life with no social concerns! It is a perversion of the story of Christ." I am not even going to bother to write a complete review over this article. I think any one with a moral conscious and basic common sense can come up with there own conclusion.

When Twilight has been taken to FAR!!!!
I have heard alot of Twilight hate. I myself have hated Twilight before i ever took the time to read or watch a movie then became a fan. Most of the hate for Twilight i see is unreasonable. Most people that make fun of it like i use to have never seen it or read the book. There is also alot of people that hate Twilight fans, I use to call them TWITARDS ha ha ha ha then i became one. I enjoy the books and the movies but i do not own any thing else besides the books and original movie. I am not a Twilight hoarder with my home covered from floor to celling with pictures of Edward or Jacob. I don't make fun of these people because its private and people don't have to see it and you can keep it your self. The problem I do have is with TWILIGHT TATTOOS!!!!!!! This is why people make fun of Twilight and its Fans. PLEASE STOP!!!!!! or maybe not because i find it to be very entertaining. The worst tattoos are the portraits of the characters. Portraits are the hardest tattoos to do and most of them turn out looking like the person has a touch of down syndrome. The Twilight portraits are by far some of the worst i have very laid my eyes on. Due to the high price of tattoo removal and great pain at tattoo is a life time commitment. Most of these tattoos are on older women. I don't understand. I think that Twilight has become some sort of drug for some people. like any other drug it allows people to change the way they feel and escape the pains of their own reality. We must get these people help. If they are willing to get tattoos i ask what well they do next?????????
The only part of Twilight i dont like
We are reading the book 2 Jacob from Breaking Dawn and I think Stephenie Meyer really dropped the ball. I have enjoyed reading and this is the first part of my experience i am not pleased with. I like the story being told form Jacobs point of view and its a nice choice. The problem i have is with how Meyer sets up the confrontation between sam in the Cullens. So Jacob hears Bella is back and sick so he proceeds to go to the Cullens and kill Edward because he believes she is sick from becoming her transformation to Vampire hood. He tells Sam and the rest of the pack but Sam tell's him no and sides with logic and the fact he believes the Cullens are not all that bad. Jacob goes and finds Bella pregnant and re frames from killing Edward and returns to the pack. The pack reads Jacobs mind and see's what he saw. This is when Sam decides to Attack the Cullens due to the Fact this creature inside Bella puts the people at risk. I like the idea of Sam and the rest of the pack he has fighting the Cullens for the pure fact of how glorious of a fight it would be but the setup is weak and lame. Sam tells Jacob not to attack and tries to use logic by telling Jacob we need facts Bella could really just be sick. Yet Sam wants to attack the Cullens with out any fact of what this creature is. There was no Truce broken. They have no clue what this baby is for all Sam knows it could be Jacobs ha ha ha not really but that would be a great twist. I think Meyer's tried to portray Sam as a composed intelligent leader that looks out for the best of his people and his pack. She makes it look like Sam weighs all the sides of a problem and decides on fact but in this situation he reacts like Jacob. She makes Jacob act on impulse but in this situation Jacob seems to act more like Sam is suppose to .
