Twilight is a great book for people that’s really into romance, vampires and fantasies. I chose to read Twilight because at the time I never heard or saw anything like this before. Vampires falling in love and people turning into wolfs was something to watch and read. I enjoyed reading this book because the story line is pretty epic. It all starts off with Isabella, better known as Bella Swan. A 17-year-old shy girl, highly intelligent and observant. Bella has a kind and awkward personality that is more mature than most girls her age. She never made any real friends that understood her. So to start off fresh, Bella moves to the small and rainy town of Forks, Washington, to live with her father, Charlie Swan, after her mother remarries a minor …show more content…

Bella isn’t into prom or dresses. Bella decides to head to a bookstore and meet up with the girls later at an Italian restaurant for dinner. It's getting dark as Bella goes in search of the bookstore. She gets a bit nervous when she bumps into some sketchy guys, but continues on her way. Soon, she realizes that she's lost, and the creepy men have cornered her. Driving a silver Volvo, Edward pulls up and saves Bella once again from danger. Edward insists on getting Bella some food and driving her home himself. Over dinner, Bella presses Edward to tell her how he saved her. How did he know where she was and how did he know she was in danger? Edward admitted that he was following her. Now Edward wants to know Bella's latest theories on what he is. A bit hesitantly, Bella starts to tell Edward about Jacob and how he's one of the Quileute, and about the vampire story he told her. And then about her internet research. Bella gets Edward to confirm that he's a vampire, although he doesn't say the word. She asks him about his diet, and he tells her about hunting animals. Edward again tries the convince Bella that he's dangerous, that she should stay away from him. Especially because he is drawn by her scent that is too desirable and may not be able to resist her. But she's stubborn and doesn’t find Edward to be scary. She cannot stay away, though, because she has fallen in love with him. Likewise, he is too much in love to push her away, even for her own good. So basically they fall in love with each other and Edward wants to take it to the next

Eliezer or “Elie” Wisel was a Romanian-born American Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor. Elie was also the narrator in the novel Night.
