New Moon, by Stephanie Meyer deals with an intense love story about a vampire and a human who both go to school in Forks. This is the sequel to Twilight, which is one of the most popular books read today. In New moon, Edward leaves Bella causing her to mentally struggle through life. The book descriptively shows her change in behavior by being numb and expressionless to the outside world which worries both of her friends and her family. It is like she's in a coma without Edward. Then, she wakes up and starts to move past her hard painful depression state and she replaces it with being a reckless teenager. She starts to break the rules by riding motorcycles, jumping of cliffs, and taking more risks, in order to feel closer to Edward. She does stupid things because she hears him say thing s in her mind. It is a sick game, but she somehow feels comfort in her hallucinations. Along the way of her rebellion, she also forms a relationship with Jacob, who starts to realize his ancestry by becoming a werewolf. The problem is, Jacob, and the werewolves and Edward and the vampires do not get along. This creates tension for Bella since; she wants to be with both in the end. And in the end, Edward wins her heart once again.


At first I did not like this book until later on. I felt a connection with Bella in Twilight because she and I both went to Seattle Washington and survived a car accident. I began to appreciate New Moon when I thought of it through a theatrical lens. I believe this book dealt with a lot of intense emotions teenagers go through. This book spoke to me when Edward and Bella were reunited after being away for so long. I felt a connection to knowing what it is like to have such a strong relationship with someone and then having to let it go. I felt New Moon could be written into a drama and so I started one. I hope that someday it would be made into a play, for it would be a vampire spectacular with fog and towers and pitch forks and so forth. Well the show must go on.
