Imagine a romantic setting on the beach, just a table set for two, a special someone has cooked you dinner to eat by candle light as the sunsets in the horizon just over the ocean and the sky turns that soft pink color as the sun disappears. After dinner, the two lovers embrace each other and the scene closes with a passionate kiss. This is one of the many various romantic pictures painted by Hollywood, romantic novels, and hopeless romantics that dare to dream up a flawless and perfectly executed gesture of love. One of the most recent romance stories to be made is Twilight, written by Stephenie Meyer, tells the story of a girl named Bella Swan attending high school in Forks, Washington and falls in deeply in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen. Their love is a dangerous love that puts Bella and Edward through many trials, but they endure them all. As the story progresses Bella becomes a vampire because she wants to spend eternity with Edwards and marries him. This beautiful and artistic love story sets up an ideal sense of love and how relationships should be for the people of the 21st century. However, this particular love story leaves out the natural flaws in people and the pitfalls of relationships in modern times.
The original introduction that I wrote used was one of my suggested intro lines that was marked as good and to use. Let me know what you guys think and I will make alterations to this intro if its not sappy enough yet. Hopefully it is clear and gets my point across.
I like this, and think you have plenty of sappy in there. Eclipse is playing at the Union on Wed., I think that the flaws of Bella and Edward are constantly brought out in the books because that is where all of the tension comes from. That love story is definitely not without flaws. I thought you might want to know that just in case you aren't a big fan of the series. ( Now the abs on Jacob are pretty flawless if you want to add that in there somewhere :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really strong introduction but I would elaborate on the Twilight thing a little bit more because it could be confusing for those who haven't read the book.
