I gave myself a night off last night and watched Twilight. I really didn’t hate it. Maybe it is my love of vampires but it was alright and the scenery was really spectacular. I had to read Twilight (the book) for my popular literature class and that was a really awful experience. The writing was so lifeless and repetitive and Bella was so incredibly desperate and clumsy. Edward had all the power and when they had to be separated for like 5mins her whole life fell apart and she didn’t know how she would survive. It was really pathetic stuff. What makes it worse is it has been praised by the conservatives in America as good for teenage girls to read because Bella and Edward don’t have sex. I am like seriously, would you really want your daughter to be so consumed by a man she loses any desires to have any goals of her own in life? I think I would rather she had sex. But in the movie all that stuff isn’t quite so obvious. It was perfectly fine meaningless activity, which I needed after a heavy week.
