What is the plot, setting, and theme in the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer?

Question

I have to do a book report and i chose this book and im kinda stuck on these questions..thx so much

Answer 1

The plot starts out with Bella moving to Forks, Washington to live with her Dad (her parent's are divorced) She meets a guy named Edward. He saves her life by stopping a car that was sliding on the icy parking lot and would have smashed her. She starts to question what he really is. He rescues her again in Port Angeles, they have dinner, and she finds out that he is really a vampire (A "vegitarian" vampire. He and his family don't feed on humans, just animals.) A few weeks later, he takes her to "his" meadow, where their relationship progresses to boyfriend/girlfriend. But they are really more than that - their each other's soulmates (no, I'm not exagerating). Their relationship is really dangerous though, because Edward has to constantly fight the urge to suck her blood. While Edward and his family are playing baseball, a group of vampires (non-vegitarians), one of them, James, decides to hunt and kill Bella. He lures her to a ballet studio in her hometown of Pheonix. He bit her, but did not kill her because Jasper and Emmett (Edwar'd brothers) killed him first. Edward sucks the venom out of Bella's hand so she doesn't become a vampire.

The setting is Fork, Washington in 2005. The end of the book takes place in Pheonix, Arizona.

The theme is that true love can always find a way. (it's much like Pride and Prejudice and Romeo and Juliet) Even if one of you has to fight the urge to kill the other.

I hope that helps - please, do yourself a favor tho, and READ the book!! It's the best thing out there!!!

Review of Twilight

by Stephenie Meyer

Enter Forks, Washington through Twilight and explore the sweeping romance and deadly intensity of dating a vampire. Your life will never be the same.

Twilight is Stephenie Meyer's first novel. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English and currently lives in Phoenix Arizona with her family.

Synopsis of Twilight

Forks, Washington is one of the rainiest places in the United States, which is a problem for Bella. She's moving to Forks to spend more time with her father because her mother married a baseball player and decided to move to Florida. What Bella doesn't know is that Forks is hiding a secret and she was about to be let in on it.

That secret involves beautiful and mysterious Edward Cullen. He is devastatingly beautiful, equally mysterious, and is never interested in the girls at school. That is, until he sees Bella. It is the moment that they lock eyes with each other from across the cafeteria that they both realize something big is going to happen.

Edward and Bella are atypical star-crossed lovers. They aren't being kept apart by feuding families but by Edward's deadly nature. Bella is intrigued by Edward's mystery and Edward can't resist the smell of her blood. He's a vampire.

But, like all good love stories, Edward and Bella fall in love and face a number of challenging and romantic obstacles together, realizing that they're the atypical embodiment of Romeo and Juliet ... and that they can't live without each other.

Praise for Twilight

One of the greatest achievements of Twilight is that Stephenie Meyer creates a fantasy story with a completely realistic voice. Readers never once question the existence of vampires or that a vampire and a human can create a successful and romantic relationship together.

Meyer's other greatest achievement is writing a novel with such an imminent sense of danger. Danger can be sensed from the very first page and stays with readers until the book is finished. That kind of pace and excitement is hard for any author to accomplish, let alone a new author.

But despite the realism and the danger, Stephenie Meyer does bring a flaw to Twilight. Bella's identity is completely wrapped up in Edward. She lives because he lives. She'd rather die than live without him. While this fits with the Romeo and Juliet theme running through the book it doesn't necessarily fit in with today's society. Bella is the girl that every teenage girl aspires to be. But, it is Bella's lack of emotional strength that may send readers the message that it is ok to lose your identity in a relationship.

Despite the flaws, Twilight is a dangerous masterpiece, sending readers searching for the Edward Cullen in their own lives. It is utterly irresistible and impossible to put down. Readers who sink their teeth into Twilight will not be disappointed.

Hope this gives you enough to do a book report on = hope you at least have a copy to read some of the chapters.
