Why the books got their titles and their covers: my opinion

ok so srry 4 taking forever to getting back 2 u guys but i have awesome topics 2 talk about
so here it is:

Twilight: (my hobby)
Title: Twilight is the end of 1 day and the start of a new. It is both to be happy and to be sad about. Bella is ending her old life and starting a new life with Edward. She is sad to be leaving her old life, but much much (infinite much's) more happier to be starting the new life with hers and (unfortunately) hers only, Edward. This relates to life b/c at first she despises her decision to start over in Forks, but just as life gets better every day for us, though we may not know it, life turns around for the better in hers as well....from twilight to dawn....the story brings us.
Cover: The cover was chosen b/c it represents "forbidden fruit"
(1) In the story of Adam and Eve they were not supposed to eat the apple b/c God told them not to. Just like how the apple was forbidden to them, Bella is forbidden to Edward b/c he can not drink her blood and he has to resist against her, which he is able to do in Twilight, but later in Breaking Dawn, by biting her and turning her into a vampire he in a way turns against his own
words just like Adam and Eve did.
(2) In Snow White, when she ate the apple that the witch gave her she became frozen in time, just like Edward is frozen in time.
(3) In Pirates of the Caribbean, Barbossa could never have the apple he was biting, since in truth he was really neither dead nor living, just like that Edward in a way is neither dead nor living and he can never really physically have Bella.
All 3 ideas put together:
The cover shows the hands (Edward) reaching for the apple: forbidden fruit (Bella), but he can never really have her . He is frozen in time, and him reaching his hands out for Bella foreshadows that she too will become frozen in time with Edward forever. Whether they will die or not is an ignored fact, more dominant is that what ever happens, they will be together forever where ever they are.

New moon: (My life)
title: The title represents a new phase in Bella's life. With Edward gone she tries to change to a different phase, a new one when Jacob comes into her life. she feels she is unable to change. however she unknowingly changes, as she begins to love Jacob in addition to loving Edward, unconditionally and irrevocably.
Cover: (1) The cover represents a beautiful and full flower dying. The stem is bending down to the earth and one petal falls. But something saves the entire flower from falling apart. Edward only takes one petal (1 petal) away from her and Jacob barely saves Bella (flower). Jacob's love is enough barely enough to keep her alive, but not enough to keep her happy. (2) This cover also represents Edward taking 1 petal away from the flower (Bella), but Jacob is able to keep the rest of the flower (Bella's heart) with him. But the flower dying foreshadows Bella leaving Jacob and joining Edward, but leaving the fruit inside her (Renesme) with Jacob forever. (fruits are made inside a flower and when the all the petals fall off the fruit comes out)

Eclipse: (My Life..............)
title: (1) Eclipse's are so powerful and strong- Edward is so powerful and strong and he is tearing Jacob away from Bella. Jacob is not strong enough to fight Edward, so in the end Bella + Edward = forever. (2) It also represents the eclipse (Jacob) trying to cover the son (Edward) from Bella, but only momentarily being able to do so since eclipse's don't last very long.

Cover: (1) The cover shows a ribbon tearing, with only a small portion on one side and the main portion on the other. This shows Bella ripping apart b/c she loves Jacob so much and yet she loves Edward so much (10000000 infinite zeros) more, to an extent at which there is no way to
live w/o him. Edward and Jacob are vampire and werewolf, naturally enemies, therefore it is impossible for Bella to have both at the same time, so she is unable to keep herself together. this causes her heart to rip into 2 pieces. it belongs to both, and since she can only have one it will never be fully complete. The cover also shows how much Bella wants to become a vampire and how much she doesn't. she thinks she is fully ready, but in reality she isn't. the small part of her that wants to stay with Jacob also wants to stay a human with him and the larger part of her wants to go with Edward, her true er lover.

Breaking Dawn: (My life.....................)
Title: This title relates to the book b/c it is the start of a new day ( a new life) because Bella is starting a new life by becoming a vampire and when, at that moment, at which she transforms her life starts with the dawn, but will never again reach twilight b/c she no longer sleeps and therefore her forever is just one day. this is why the novel starts at twilight and ends permanently at breaking dawn.
Cover: this cover shows a pawn turning into the highest chess piece, just like Bella is transformed from a weak human into a powerful vampire. this takes a long process and a lot of struggling, but in the end Bella makes it all the way to the end (her dream- Bella + Edward forever)

  1. I think that we both have about the same opinion of why it starts with Twilight and ends with Breaking Dawn. What is your favorite book of all three? My friend still hasn't finished Breaking Dawn and she started it when it came out and it's driving me crazy because she only has like 2 chapters to go and I had to read that book in three weeks and I did it! Blah!!! Anyways, yeah...

  2. i think all the book are great, but each 1 gets better and better
    twilight is really good b/c thats where everything starts and the one where edward and bella fall in love
    new moon is awesome b/c it shows how bella and edward love each other so much and cant live w/o each other. and it introduces jacob and then bella and jacob fall in love. AND then eclipse is good b/c it has the most action and is the most interesting b/c bella has 2 choose edward or jacob and lastly, Breaking dawn is great b/c it shows the happily ever after even tho it is boring at times i luv it... Bella + Edward = forever

    ReplyDelete
  3. Nice ideas :) Do you think maybe the ribbon is Bella not being able to break away from her life as a human properly? And do you think the Eclipse is the moon (Jacob) covering the sun (Bella or Edward)?

  4. ok..... ur ideas r awesome i have 2 add them

    ReplyDelete
  5. And the breaking dawn cover is Bella. She used to be the weakest player on the chessboard, the pawn, then she went on to become the strongest of them all, the Queen. And have you noticed Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Braking Dawn all have something to do with the time and different periods of a day/Bella's life? Twilight is a time in the day, the Moon comes out at night, an Eclipse happens in a short amount of time, and dawn in the morning. Thanks for visiting the site!

  6. yeah i mentioned those things already. but thanx anywayz

    ReplyDelete
  7. i think that too! is the new moon movie still coming out November 20th?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Who do you think is cuter? Rob vs. Taylor & Edward vs. Jacob. I think that Taylor wins, And Edward wins! That may sound weird, but that's just me!

    ReplyDelete
  9. i think edward and rob are cuter both ways. but Robert only looks hotter in twilight and taylor always looks hot

    ReplyDelete
  10. I totally agree with the second sentence! Did you see the New Moon trailer yet? I saw it on MTV and OMG! it is AWESOME! When Jacob turns into a wolf, all I have to say is OMG so hot! But Edward leaves Bella and that is SO not cool! lol

    ReplyDelete
  11. yeah the trialer was AWESOME!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. i know! like the Twilight trailer was just like ...uh looks ok... but the new moon trailer is like ...OMG i want to see the movie sooooooooooo bad!!!... ya know!???

    ReplyDelete
  13. Idk if I already posted another comment, so ya. Who's team r u on? Team Edward or Jacob? Personally I like Jacob better, but I don't know if I would say that I am on his team, ya know?!

    ReplyDelete
  14. i luv both of them edward and jacob, but if i had to pick i'd pick EDward cuz he does not care how bella is happy (w/ him or jacob? he just wants her happy either way. Jacob only wants her to be happy with him
    tho both of them are THE BEST!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. ya very true! They def are the BEST! haha, hey have you ever thought of putting a playlist of the twilight soundtrack songs on your blog? cuz if you go to playlist.com u can make a free one and post it to your blog! i did that on mine and it roxs!

    ReplyDelete
  16. okay i love twilight!!!
    but im not a huge fan of the songs
    btw wats ur blog url?

    ReplyDelete
  17. ya true about the songs... i only like a few of them but ya! Um my blog url is:

    www.gottalovefun.blogspot.com

    but mine isn't all about Twilight like yours... although i still luv this blog and Twilight! haha

    ReplyDelete
  18. you should check it out, i just put up a twilight poll.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I just got a Twilight shirt! I have been wanting one for like ever and ya. Do you have one? ( Or 2 or 3 or 4...)

    ReplyDelete
  20. yeah i have 1
    and i really want more...
    but my parents are gonna kill me if they find out im buying more cuz they think im 'wasting my money' like that.
    and im just like 'ya rite, that is the farthest thing ever from wasting money'
    lol

    ReplyDelete
  21. haha ya seriously Twilight shirts are so worth spending money for! my friend has one that she made herself and it says golden eyes baseball team and my other friend has one that says i love boys who sparkle! haha they are so cool!

    ReplyDelete
  22. yeah i should make twilight shirts myself 2

    ReplyDelete
  23. haha ya i should too that would be so fun to do with friends or by yourself! which book do u think will turn out to be the best movie? Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn. What one would be the worst? (If there is a worst haha)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh I forgot to tell you, I got a New Moon background on my blog it is so cool!

    ReplyDelete
  25. ok so i think Breaking dawn is gonna b AWESOME but still out of the 4 i will probably rate it the least b/c its gonna b hard doing all the special effects for her becoming a vampire and her as a vampire so it might not seem that real. And the figh w/ the volturi mite not seem that real either. and im prob gonna rate twilight 3rd b/c i dont think they created the perfect couple like they did in the book and thats cuz there isn't enuf time to show the bond between the 2 in the movie. and then eclipse cuz i just think new moon is gonna b better. And i think new moon is gonna b better cuz jacob comes in and he is a wolf and i love the shirtless him transforming into a wolf and all, and the director is putting direct quotes into it so i feel it's really gonna b like the book.

    ReplyDelete
  26. p.s. i am now following your blog...

    ReplyDelete
  27. i think that the movies will be 1: New Moon, cuz it looks like it will follow the book like you said and it just looks awesome! 2: Breaking Dawn AND Twilight, becuz Breaking Dawn will be hard to create all of the effects of her having the baby and stuff, and Twilight becuz it was the first of the movies so they didn't really have any thing to base off of unlike New Moon where they know more of what to do. (If that makes any since at all... lol) And 3: Eclipse because I can't really remember what happens in the book. To me right now it basically just links together New Moon and Breaking Dawn... help?

    ReplyDelete
  28. in eclipse bella makes it clear that she's choosing edward over jacob, and wants to become a vampire and stay with jacob forever. but ur kinda rite they didnt really need eclipse in the series but w/e the more the better:)

    ReplyDelete
  29. ya definatley the more the better! i hope that stephanie meyer chooses to publish Midnight Sun sometime becuz i'd like to see Edwards point of view of things in Twilight! (I am rereading the Twilight saga again cuz i just finished Harry Potter series for the second time!!!) Haha i read like almost 100 pages of Twilight just today! lol

    ReplyDelete
  30. yeah i hope she publishes midnight sun 2, but while ur waiting ucould read the incompletee version on her site. yeah im a harry potter fan 2, but my 'devotion' for it is nothing compared to Twilight. but currently im reading the harry potter series for the 3rd time in 4 years and then im gonna read the twilgiht saga for the 5th time in 1year!
    pretty exciting life...

    ReplyDelete
  31. wow i can tell that you like twilight way better than harry potter! yea i have already read the 1st chapter of midnight sun somewhere but ya thanks i will go to her site... this is only my second time reading the twilight saga... i read them last year for the 1st time.

    ReplyDelete
  32. yeah i think midnight sun is a lot better then twilight. and my sister just gave me this awesome idea: read eclipse then flashback into twilight and new moon and then breaking dawn like they do in some movies. so im gonna try that. Anywayz, just wondering, wat grade r u in?

    ReplyDelete
  33. 8th. you? ya that's a cool idea!

    ReplyDelete
  34. urgh why can't the new moon movie come out sooner! it's driving me crazy! i wanna see it so bad!

    ReplyDelete
  35. yeah im going 2 10th
    omg skool's almost here :(
    but on the bright side that means the release of new moon is getting closer, even thou it is still soooo far away...

    ReplyDelete
  36. ya i know! i've already started school, but i wish that new moon would just premeire sooner! i mean why show the trailer like 3 months before the movie actually comes out? tho i'm glad it did cuz ya it was awesome!!! lol

    ReplyDelete
  37. i know rite i loved the trailer, but it just makes the fans more anxious for the movie and i just can't wait now

    ReplyDelete
  38. i know!!!! it's like torture to have to wait this long! but ya me and my friend r gonna go to the premeire of new moon together so it's gonna be fun cuz me and her both LOVE twilight! (AND new moon is our fave book out of all 4) urggh i feel like i can't wait =)

    ReplyDelete
  39. ahhhh! my parents are not gonna let me go c the midnight show cuz its a school night, so im gonna have 2 go on Friday! and im going w/ all my friends. im so excited!!! (though none are even close to as obcessed as me)

    Btw, how long do u think the movie is?
    i think it shud b atleast 3, and the filmmakers shudnt worry about making less money if its long and ppl get bored, b/c its all about the real fans and the real fans wud watch it evn if it were 5 hrs long. but it'll prob b like around 2 hours like twilight

    ReplyDelete
  40. ya i'm going to the friday showing also (school). I know it's so stupid how filmmakers always just cut out a bunch of stuff to make the movie shorter. I'm thinking maybe 2 - 2 1/2 hrs. But I mean look at the harry potter movies, their like always at least 3hrs, usually like 4, so why can't they do the same thing with twilight??

    ReplyDelete
  41. no the harry potter movies are like 2 1/2-3 hrs, but still they are longer than twilight so they shud make new moon longer, but why make ur expectations 2 high cuz i doubt they will.

    ReplyDelete
  42. ya seriously, look at Titanic. It was like 4 hours or something like that and it turned out to be one of the best movies. Idk why they think that if the movie is too long that ppl won't sit through it. Even if New Moon was as long as Titanic i would still watch it.

    ReplyDelete
  43. have you seen the extended trailer of New Moon released last Sunday on MTV??? It was AWESOME!

    ReplyDelete
  44. yes! WOW!!!
    it was the best and it made me even more impatient for new moon.
    i cant wait!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I know! It looks 10 times better than Twilight! and Twilight was amazing! They should just release it earlier cuz it's making everybody crazy! But still, less than 2 months away! Yes!

    ReplyDelete
  46. i know rite!
    im so excited!!!
    but atleast they arent gonna wait an entire year 2 release the next movie
    cuz for new moon they r releasing it a year after twilight, but eclipse is only 7 months after!!! so we wont have to wait as long for eclipse!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. sweet! i didn't know that! so it's like only half a year instead. that's awesome! haha i'm reading eclipse right now. i'm like on chapter 11 or 12 i think. =)

    ReplyDelete
  48. really thats so cool...im reading eclipse too and im on chapter 24

    ReplyDelete
  49. haha i finished eclipse today... read like half the book to finish it! couldn't stop reading so i was like reading from 10am to 6pm lol! on to breaking dawn

    ReplyDelete
  50. i hardly have any time 2 read anymore :(
    the twilight series must miss me (their biggest fan- 1 of them)

    ReplyDelete
  51. sad! idk what i am going to read after breaking dawn cuz i already just barely read Harry Potter again. Might start Uglies series.... anyways i was looking at a movie theater website with by brother and i saw that u can already get new moon tixs! i am so excited.

    ReplyDelete
  52. omg that is so weird...i love the twilight seires, harry potter, and the uglies series too! and yeah i know that they are selling new moon tickets cuz i subscribe to twilighters.org and im pretty much 1 of the first 2 find out about a lot of twilight things but they are only selling midnite tickets at my theater and im prob gonna go after skool...so i'll have to wait 2 buy the tickets :(

    ReplyDelete
  53. sad! ya i have to go after school too cuz i'm going with my friend and i also can't miss school! can't wait for November 20th!!! but ya those are my three fave book series... :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  56. what do you think will be the best part of the new moon movie? idk myself haha... the ending looks really good though, ya know with the Vouturri and everything :P

    ReplyDelete
  57. yeah that parts seems cool, but i think when bella starts hanging out with jacob and when bella reunites w/ edward r gonna b the best parts cuz im more into romance/drama then action (i still love harry potter, but that is y i luv twilight more)

    and jacob shirtless...lol

    ReplyDelete
  58. oh ya those parts sound like they're gonna be really good too! i can't believe that the movie is only 1 month away!!!!! 11.20.09 =)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  61. yeah
    btw new moon is officially 130 min long.
    yay...10 more minutes than twilight!
    that mite make the differnece or it may not...but twilight cudv'e been better if the runtime was longer, so we'll c if 10 min does make the difference

    ReplyDelete
  62. haha 10 minutes! i hope it makes a difference cuz ya... but still by the trailers it looks better than twilight already! :) I saw the snene already where Bella slaps Paul and then he turns into a werewolf and then Jacob comes and saves the day haha. it was Awesome!!!! u should look it up on youtube if you haven't seen it yet. or it might be in your video bar but idk.
