I’m evaluating the Twilight series in both movie form and book form. This series has been a popular set of novels among teens in the past few years and it has branched into a set of movies also. Because of the start of this series as a popular book, it grabbed the attention of teen girls mostly, and then when the movie came out, even more girls joined in. We’ve seen a duel between Twilight fans and Harry Potter fans in both the movie setting and in products and clothing. The Twilight series fits into many different categories, starting with books, and then continuing to movies, and now Halloween costumes and wardrobe. It can be compared, as said earlier, to the Harry Potter series considering both series’ have had the same sort of run. They both started as books, and then came more books, and once the books were over movies of the books came out. The aspect of magic and the supernatural could also play a part in why these two series are often compared to each other. There are a lot of stories that end up this way, Harry Potter is just a familiar one most people know of.
The first criteria that will be used to evaluate the Twilight series will be the presence of the supernatural. This will consist of the vampires, werewolves, and humans in one setting. The way they interact, and the connections they have is crucial to the plot and storyline, so these characters and supernatural forces play a large role in the story. Also, because of conflict between the different groups in the story, their interactions are very important. The second criteria that will be used to evaluate the Twilight series will be how these three aspects are appealing to the reader. Some readers think this idea is silly, while others are intrigued by it. Some of the differences that the three groups have cause conflict that is appealing to some readers more than others. The third criteria will be the characteristics of vampires. This will explain what it that makes a vampire a vampire is and what makes a vampire different than a human. This will also be where it is explained if there are characteristics of a vampire that can be noticed physically. The fourth criteria will be the characteristics of a werewolf, how they function, and what makes them different from humans. Also, this will be where the difference between werewolves and vampires is explained, as well as the background information to the conflict between the two groups. The fifth criteria that will be used to evaluate the Twilight series is changes made between the books and the movies. There may be some different aspects of the movies that aren’t in the books, and vice versa. Also, the descriptions given in the book give the reader a different picture than what is shown in the movie, and just that part alone made me change my opinion about the story when watching the movie.
