All In For Love: Exploring New Moon by Stephenie Meyer



(New Moon Summary)

 For my blog I chose to write about New Moon the second book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.I chose this topic because I enjoy all of Stephenie Meyer's books and I think that she has helped the genre of young adult fiction attract more readers. I think that it is interesting that she references classical literature and creates parallels between her stories and the works of other authors (for example in New Moon the story is similar to that of Romeo and Juliet and Eclipse is similar to Withering Heights) that I think inspire teenagers to read some of these classic works. I wanted to look deeper into the similarities between this story and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Also, I must admit that the stormy weather recently inspired me to read the series again—like it always does.
