Assignment 2 - 1 Twilight Saga

The Twilight Saga
            Ah, the wonderful books made into movies about a love story with this one girl, who seems to be an outcast, and a vampire who is like no other.  Bella, the outcast, can’t handle life with her mother when she gets remarried so Bella is shipped off to live with her dad thousands of miles away in a dreary little town in Washington State.  Wouldn’t you know it; she meets this guy who seems to be a little mysterious.  Edward, this mysterious guy who of course is a vampire, and his family are the non-drinking blood type of vampires.  He has the bad boy image with all the right things to say and of course the great looks.  It was like love at first site between the two and the romance began and turned into a series of four movies.  And we all know how this is going to end up, or do we?  Just when you think everything is going to work, a new group of vampires comes to town that will drink blood and tries to get in the way of the love of Bella and Edward.
            With the second installment, New Moon, Bella still finds herself caught up in danger while trying to get what she always wanted.  That is the love that her and Edward share.  However, it is so difficult to get there seeing that he is a vampire and she is human and her longtime friend, Jacob, also has an agenda and a secret himself.  So many dangers lurk around her and she realizes why Edward and his family left town to begin with.  She still yearns for his love and is willing to do whatever it takes.
            This brings us to the third installment called Eclipse.   Now caught in a love triangle with Edward and Jacob, Bella still finds herself in a dilemma having to choose between the two that could start a fight amongst Edward the vampire and Jacob the werewolf.  With graduation coming soon, she has a very important decision to make and if you haven’t watched the movies or read the books yet, I cannot leak anymore information out.  Sorry.
            I think all of this could have been put into one movie like all the other movies with this same theme.  However, why would anyone want to do that when they can draw it out and make a crazed phenomenon about it?  The teenage girls are going crazy over this Twilight Saga and I do not understand why.  I mean it is good but why is it so different than any other great love story?
