Dreams

             Nevermore, written by Kelly Creagh is one of those books that just has you wanting to read more and more. I just started this book on Monday and I'm already done with it. Nevermore is about a cheerleader, Isobel Lanley, and the school's weirdo, Varen Nethers. They cross each others path when they are partnered for an English project. At first they are disgusted to work with each other. But then they end up falling in love. The thing is that Isobel doesn't know about Varen's secret dreams. His dream world that he has created through the pages of his notebook, a world where the stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. That's when she does literally anything to save his life. 
                
            This book has a lot of scenes that make me wonder what the author was trying to make the reader think and feel in this moment. In the book, Varen has this whole fantasy world where Edgar Allan Poe is his best friend and they write deep, dark poems. One really creepy part of his dream world is this demon that follows him everywhere and tells him what to do. When Isobel finds out about the demon she tries to help but ends up messing everything up. In this part I could really feel the author trying to make us think and feel what lead him to this point in life. Is he an only child? Were his parents ignorant to the fact that he was their son throughout his childhood? Those questions were racing through my mind when I read that part. Also, I felt sympathy for him. Something must have really gone wrong for him to have ended up like that.      

            Some people think that dreams are visions of the future or messages. Some people think that dreams are just dreams and they don't mean anything. I'm one of those people that believe dreams are just dreams and nothing more. This has made me question what I believe about dreams. This book shows how dreams can actually change a person for worse or for the better. Especially with scenes so vividly detailed it's hard to not see it as a movie.  

Breaking Dawn: Wedding Scene

          In the book, Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer I'm up to the part where Edward and Bella are about to get married. In detail, Stephenie Meyer says that Bella is "...beautiful and never looked better..." according to Edward, on the day of the wedding. And to Bella, Edward looked, "...handsome..." and "...I couldn't believe he is about to be legally mine.." Bella is wearing a white, elegant dress with a train. It's nothing too fancy because Bella is the type of character that doesn't like to attract to much attention. Edward was wearing the normal monkey suit, which apparently made him look like the sexiest man on the planet.
          This scene in the book is like any other fairytale wedding. The difference is that it is a little toned down because of Bella's issue with attention. But it has the white christmas lights that are hung all over the place and the fancy white flowers, the seat coverings, and it's all happening in Edward's humongous backyard. I loved the way Stephenie Meyer described the wedding, "...the profusion of white blossoms that hung in garlands from everything in the room that wasn't alive, dripping with long lines of white gossamer ribbons...the bowery canopy... rows of satined-draped chairs..." (pg. 48) The detail and the elaboration and the language just gives the place a magical feeling, other than the fact that she's marrying a vampire.
          All in all, Stephenie Meyer could have just written that the setting was beautiful. Instead she elaborated and used language that made it seem like the wedding that she probably dreamed of having or had. This is another reason why I love Stephenie Meyer.                            

Breaking Dawn Movie and Book

            Breaking Dawn is the last book to Stephenie Meyers amazing and addicting Twilight Saga. I have seen all the movies and have read all the books and have fell in love with each one. I have already read this book, in 6th grade. But I am rereading it to refresh my memory on the book. Also I'm pretty sure that you are wide aware that Breaking Dawn is coming out in movie theaters in a few weeks. I as a huge fan am super excited.
            Anyways, when I go see the movie I want to be thinking of the book and comparing what the scenes looked like in my head and what the film directors interpretation of the scenes. Additionally, I like to anticipate what is going to happen next. Along with that, in Breaking Dawn Stephenie Meyers makes Bella, Edward, and Jacob all narrate the story unlike the other three books where Bella does all of the narrating. I wonder since the movie is splitting the book up into two parts, will there be two narrators or maybe squish in three or will there only be one?
            What me and many other Twilight fans love about these books is that it has this plot which a lot of girls fantasize about. For example, I would love to have a sexy werewolf and an incredibly attractive vampire who would do anything for me, to be fighting over my love. Another thing about these books is that it has these moments where you find yourself expressing what you feel out loud. I know that when I was reading the book there were moments where my jaw dropped and I was saying, "Oh my gosh!"
             All in all, I can't wait until the movie comes out and I really hope that somewhere Stephenie Meyer is creating another jaw dropping series somewhere.
