Independent Reading: Twilight

Reading Skills

Predictions- I predict that something is going to threaten Bella and Edward's relationship because right now it is in a very peaceful and perfect state.

Questions (For Stephanie Meyer)-

1. What made you decide on the names for the characters? Do they mean or symbolize something?

2. Was making Carlisle a doctor a use of irony or simply a characterization of his kindness?

3. Did you have any alternative climaxes for Twilight besides James tricking Bella into her death?


Connections:

Text to World- Stephanie Meyer plays with the myths and legends of vampires such as coffins, garlic, mirrors, and melting in the light.

Text to Text- Meyers references Romeo and Juliet in the novel with Bella and Edward's undying love and how they couldn't live without each other.

Text to Self- I am reading Romeo and Juliet right now so I know what they are referencing and what is going on.
