Cat Everyone keeps asking me questions and this is the most poular one...

Who knows what the book covers represent? if you don't here's a guide

(Printed in the exact words of Stephanie Meyer)

Twilight (Twilight, #1) by Stephenie Meyer ... The apple on the cover of [Book: Twilight] repesents the knowledge of good and evil. Eve ate his forbidden fruit in Genesis, and [Book: Twilight] has an epigraph from this book of the Holy Bible... "But the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in that day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surley die." The question inherent in the apple is "Do you want to know?" It asks if you are going to bite in and discover the frightening possibilities around you or refuse and stay safe in the comfortable world you know.

New Moon (Twilight, #2) by Stephenie Meyer ... Unlike the other covers, Stephanie meyer was not involved in the choosing for the cover of [Book: New Moon]. The author origanilly proposed a clock image, as time is such a key theme in the book. But ultimatley the team chose the tulip focused on the theme of loss. The image of the flower losing it's petal was chosen to reflect that loss of Edward to Bella. They felt the fallen petal could also be interpruted to represent the drop of blood from Bella's paper cut in the first chapter.


Eclipse (Twilight, #3) by Stephenie Meyer ... The not-quite-broken ribbon on the cover of [Book: Eclipse] is a metaphor for Bella tying to leave he human lifebehind her, but being unable to make a clean break. There are some threads she is unable to cut --- she can't completley divorce herself from her past.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (Twilight, #3.5) by Stephenie Meyer ... The hourglass on the cover of [Book: The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella] symbolizes the theme of time and represents the fact that time is running out for Bree and her fellow newborns.


Breaking Dawn (Twilight, #4) by Stephenie Meyer ... The two chess peices on the cover of [Book: Breaking Dawn] both represent Bella. They show her moving from the least significant player, the pawn, to the most important, the Queen, at the end of the series. The chessboard also hints at [Book: Breaking Dawn]'s resolution, where the battle with the Volturi is one of wits and stragety, not physical strenth and violence.



((Have any more questions, just comment!))

Cat feel free to ask............


Haidi Very interesting and informative, thanks! Do you have any ideas or thoughts about the next movie?


message 5: by Cat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cat I think the should have put more detail and put the scene where Jacob Black and Rosalie Hale Cullen had the fight in the living room...
(Its not exactly the same as the book, but this is from memory)

I heard the sickening sound of scraping metal coming from the kitchen.
"You'd tell me if she poisoned it right?" I asked Edward.
He just nodded, his eyes locked on Bella.
She came out holding what seemed to have been an old mixing bowl, shaped into a dog food-like bowl with fido scratched into the side, beautiful handwriting.
And the food, no less, Steak and a Baked Potato, with the works.
"Thanks Blondie." I said, digging in.
"Eat up dog." Blondie said.
I was then so mad I flung it at her head.
She had a stunned look on her face.
"You. Got. Food. In. My. Hair!" She said.


I believe that scene should have been in the movie.

For the second movie, we can only hope it will be better.

i agree with you they should of put that scene in the movie


Haidi Yes! I've been telling everyone that that scene should have been in the movie and a bit more of the ongoing banter of hate between Rosalie and Jacob. It was funny in the book.

Yeh, I hope they put a few more of the little things into the next one.

Haidi Do you enjoy the soundtracks/music from the movies? I have them all and love them to death!! I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to use some of the tracks from BD at her wedding next year!
