TO THE NAKED EYE, IT MAY APPEAR

THAT: The Twilight saga is a story about love. And vampires.

And family. And abstinence. And racism. And the founding of
the Mormon faith. And orphans, in a really weird way.

BUT ACCORDING TO SOME EXPERTS WHO THOUGHT

REALLY HARD ABOUT THIS: Twilight is a story about all of
these things. And more things.

Congratulations

to Stephenie

Meyer,

of

theTwilight series novels and inspiration to many, for all of her

achievements. The latest, it seems, is the Childrens Choice
Book Award's Author of the Year prize - as well as Teen
Choice Book of the Year.
The contest, whose "winners were chosen in six
categories, broken down by agre groups--220,000 online
votes were cast by children around the country," resulted in
two wins for Meyer for the same work - Breaking Dawn.
Breaking Dawn, the fourth and (though some might
hope otherwise) final book in the Twilight series,

While love scenes in the book are of a sheltered

nature, the overall essence of them is still quite prevalent.
While some might argue that children who read these
scenes might not understand them, others might say they
are fully capable of understanding what married folks do on
their honeymoons.
Regardless, the presentation of the awards to Meyer

is very interesting. Whether or not children are fully capable
of understanding the romantic innuendos contained
in Breaking Dawn (not to mention the grueling agony suffered
by its protagonist through the eyes of her all but green-eyed
admirer and the ripping and shredding that occurs on
multiple occasions in multiple different scenarios), and
whether or not the award was decided by popular-type vote,

Edward and his family leave Forks because he

believes he is endangering Bella's life. Bella goes into
a depression until she develops a strong friendship
with Jacob Black, whom she discovers can shape-shift
into a wolf. Jacob and the other wolves in his tribe
must protect her from Victoria, a vampire seeking to
avenge the death of her mate James. Due to a
misunderstanding, Edward believes Bella is dead.
Edward decides to commit suicide in Volterra, Italy, but
is stopped by Bella, who is accompanied by Edward's
sister, Alice. They meet with the Volturi, a powerful
vampire coven, and are released only on the condition
that Bella be turned into a vampire in the near future.

Imprinting on someone is like...

Like when you see her...
Everything changes. All of a
sudden, its not gravity holding
you to the planet. It's her.

Victoria has created an army of

"newborn" vampires to battle the Cullen
family and murder Bella for revenge.
Meanwhile, Bella is compelled to choose
between her relationship with Edward
and her friendship with Jacob. Edward's
vampire family and Jacob's werewolf pack
join forces to successfully destroy Victoria
and her vampire army. In the end, Bella
chooses Edward's love over Jacob's
friendship and agrees to marry him.

Bella and Edward are married, but their honeymoon is cut

short when Bella discovers that she is pregnant. Her pregnancy
progresses rapidly, severely weakening her. She nearly dies
giving birth to her and Edward's half-vampire-half-human
daughter, Renesmee. Edward injects Bella with his venom to
save her life and turns her into a vampire. A vampire from
another coven sees Renesmee and mistakes her for an
"immortal child". She informs the Volturi, as the existence of
such beings violates vampire law. The Cullens gather vampire
witnesses who can verify that Renesmee is not an immortal
child. After an intense confrontation, the Cullens and their
witnesses convince the Volturi that the child poses no danger

Twilight Trivia

34. Writer

Stephanie Meyer said that, if she were 14, she would

prefer Team Jacob because that is more her style.

35.The films American premiere was on Nov. 16, 2009, which, in the lunar
cycle, is a new moon.
36.A vampires diet is revealed in the color of his eyes. The Cullens have topaz
eyes because they feast on animal blood. The Volituri have red eyes
because drink human blood. When the Cullens irises turn completely black,
it is an indicator of extreme hunger.
37.Only after months of speculation and rumors, director Chris Weitz and the
novels author, Stephanie Meyer, confirmed that Taylor Lautner would
return as Jacob Black. They had doubted that he could become fit in time.
But Lautner added almost 30 pounds of muscle. In addition to hiring a
personal trainer, he consumed 3,200 calories a day. Lautner said, I would
literally carry a Baggie of beef patties, raw almonds and sweet potatoes.
Its not like I was eating ice cream every two hours. It was difficult.
38.Each member of the Wolf Pack had to have papers proving his Native
American descent. Chaske Spencer is Lakota Sioux, Bronson Pelletier is
Cree-Metis, Alex Meraz is Purepecha (Tarasco), Kiowa Gordon is Hualapai,
and Tyson Houseman is Cree.
39.Bella and Edward were in a swimming pool in Vancouver with weights in
their pockets to film the scene when she jumps off a cliff into the ocean.
40.The Italian policemen seen pulling over Alices Porsche, when Bella hops
out to help Edward, are not actors; they are real policemen from Italy.

translation for what Jacob says to Bella when they almost kiss in the
kitchen.
42.Director Chris Weitz pulled off a trick when Edward gets out of a truck and
argues with Bella after her birthday party. Weitz put Edward next to the
camera on the right, but used his double, dressed like Edward, in the
10
drivers seat. When Edward gets out, it is the double; when the real Edward
steps in front of the camera, it appears he got there faster than humanly
possible.
43.Tippett Studio created CGI wolves for New Moon, but first visited a wolf
preserve and studied the animals for hours before starting work.
44.Actress Dakota Fanning accepted the small role of Jane, a guard for the
