Stephenie Meyer

based upon the trilogy (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay) by Suzanne Collins earned a rating of 14 + age group. The literary version relating the journey of Katniss Everdeen attempting to free Panem from a dictator is deemed suitable for a younger audience. The use of poetic license by visual media to increase the viewer appeal may contribute to the variance in age appropriateness. The Twilight series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) by Stephenie Meyer is a good example of a series where the movies and books match up, but the entire series altogether does not match up. The first three books and movies (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse) were put in the 13+ age groups. Breaking Dawn and its movie counterparts (Breaking Dawn Part 1 and Breaking Dawn Part 2) were put in the 14+ age groups. Passage of time and maturity is a reasonable explanation for the level of change in the classification of these works. Ten years after the first Twilight book was published, Stephenie Meyer released another version of Twilight titled, Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined. That story earned the rating 13+ age group. The descriptive nature of this literature, both in detail and content could be contributing factors in their rating category. To further illustrate the use of providing guidance in suitable reading material we have the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. These books follow the different quests that Percy Jackson, son of…

romantically inclined; he dedicates his life in protecting Bella from various harm, whether it be from other vampires, or even humans. In fact, Meyer makes it hard to call Edward a villain or monster because he’s constantly doing good. Backstein mentions the scene in Twilight where the “humans are the men who try to rape Bella one evening in town” (215) and Edward saves Bella after reading their violent thoughts. We are supposed to be afraid of vampires…

either talking about it or reading it. It was everywhere from the internet t being on plenty of t-shirts. It was even made into a hashtag for example #TeamEdward or #TeamJacob. One of the reasons this novel was a best seller was because it was referred by everyone who read. The book is good and so appealing that people will tell their friends about it. The word of mouth method has not only people aware of the book but at the same time makes them pick up a novel and read it. I am getting…

work together and at most will work in a small group for a short time therefore it is illogical for every American vampire to band together for an extended period of time. The topic of vampire feeding also raises other issues. Vampires have extraordinary stamina and strength compared to human. Additionally, vampires have animal like senses of both sight and smell thus all these factors together making hunting trivial for them. With this established it can be concluded that vampires have no need…

Some people see Bella as this young adult who’s insecure and weak-minded for marrying a guy fresh out of high school but she is much more than that. Edward helps her become this strong and more goal-driven character who proves over and over again that she is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the ones she loves. I was a sophomore in high school when I was first introduced to the novels by Stephenie Meyer, the films had not been released yet. A friend saw me reading a Fear Street book by…

Alice comes to visit Bella and her visions show Edward exposing himself, so Alice and Bella follow him to Volterra and stop him. I would give this book a B+, because I like fantasy side of it, the tension and the romance. I am giving this book a B+ because I like the fiction of vampires and werewolves. They are…

The eldest brother Damon Salvatore is very reckless , selfish, realistic, and humorist. Damon is a reckless vampire and he leaves a mess when he is feeding and doesn't have…

“Vampires and Vixens” written by Alison Happel and Jennifer Esposito is an article written to educate and advise readers of present feministic and post-feministic controversy veiled in today’s media, specifically in the movie ‘Twilight’ directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The two authors express their concerns about the film by addressing the film itself, the teachings of popular culture, post-feminism, and sexualized violence. Even though the article “Vampires and Vixens” did contradict itself…
