6. Setting
One of the settings is Isle Esme, where Bella and Edward had
their honeymoon.
The other setting is where most of the story takes place, the
Cullen residence.
7. Wedding
Bella Swan and Edward Cullen get married, with both sides of the family
and their friends in attendance to celebrate the special event. The Swan
family of course not knowing about the Cullen’s being a clan of vampires.
Having an unexpected guest, Jacob Black, who is in love with Bella attends
their wedding secretly. Jacob reminds Bella how much he still loves her and
says that no matter what, he will always be there for her.
8. Isle Esme
After the wedding, Edward takes Bella to an island that belongs to
Edward’s mother, Isle Esme, where they have their honeymoon. With
Edward being a vampire and Bella still being human, they couldn’t have the
usual honeymoon. But that didn’t stop them. They spend a couple days on
the island, but end up going home earlier than planned because of some
unexpected news.
9. Pregnancy
Ending their honeymoon early, Edward and Bella head back to Forks,
Washington to the Cullen residence. Bella realizes she is pregnant, not
knowing it was ever possible to have a baby with a vampire. Edward’s
father, Carlisle, being a doctor helps Bella through the struggle of carrying a
half vampire half human baby.
10. Giving birth
Bella’s human body was too weak to carry a half vampire baby; so the longer the
baby was in her, the faster it was breaking Bella’s bones and eventually would kill
her. It was finally about time to get the baby out because it was killing Bella faster
than they thought. Carlisle and Edward are in the process of taking the baby out
of Bella’s stomach, but Bella was losing too much blood, that Edward had no other
choice but to inject venom into Bella’s heart, transforming her into a vampire. The
baby is finally out of Bella’s body and names the baby girl Renesmee.
11. motherhood
Bella survives giving birth to her baby, but is now just like the Cullens. Jacob
finding out the baby is out of Bella, Jacob tries to kill the baby, but instead he
"imprints"—an involuntary response in which a shape-shifter finds his soul mate
— on Renesmee. Jacob had fallen in love with Renesmee and has no choice but to
help save her from the wolf pack, who tries to kill her due to the change of Bella
from human to vampire. Edward’s entire family helps Bella through the
transformation of becoming a vampire. They teach her how to hunt and how to
control herself around humans. Edward and Bella live in a cottage home with
their baby just near the Cullen’s house. She eventually gets use to how her body
has changed. Edward and Bella live happily ever after, along with Renesmee and
Jacob.
12. Love
In Breaking Dawn, true love overcomes all obstacles. True love leaves the
characters no choice but to give theirs lives to save the people they love. Bella is
willing to sacrifice her life, for the love of her daughter, Renesmee. Jacob stands
against his own werewolf pack to protect Bella and the Cullens. When Jacob
imprints on Renesmee, he dedicates his life to her. After Bella transforms into a
newborn vampire, her love for Edward remains stronger than her thirst for blood.
13. The wedding
Personally, my favorite part of the book was the wedding. It was just so romantic
and heart felt. The way Stephenie, the author, describes the look of the wedding
was stunning. The venue, decorations, and preparations of the wedding made it
seem so real and easy to visualize. The way she describes Bella’s current feeling as
she walks down the aisle just looking for Edwards eyes.
“I was distracted by the profusion of white blossoms that hung in garlands from
everything in the room, dripping with long lines of white gossamer ribbons. I tore
my eyes from the canopy and searched across the rows of satin-draped chairs--
blushing more deeply as I took in the crowd of faces all focused on me--until I
found him at last, standing before an arch overflowing with more flowers, more
gossamer.” (Meyer 48)
14. Meet Stephenie Meyer
Stephenie Meyer was born in Hartford, Connecticut. She attended Brigham Young
University in Provo, Utah. She didn’t write any other stories before writing Twilight,
she thought she would never be an author. Before becoming the successful author that
she is now, the only professional work she had was being a receptionist in a property
company. The idea for Twilight came to her in a dream. A dream about a human girl
and a vampire who was in love with her but thirsted for her blood. Meyer finished
writing Twilight, she published it, and it became a hit in teens. Following the success
of her first book, she made a sequence that follows Twilight. The second installment is
called New Moon, following that is, Eclipse. And the fourth installment in the sequence
is Breaking Dawn.
15. The end
I enjoy reading books that are filled with romance. And this book was all about the
romantic feeling between Edward and Bella. Plus, their relationship was not like
any others, which made the book even more interesting for me to read. This book
will never get old to me. I very much recommend reading this book. The book
went from romance to suspense to action and back to romance. It was a pleasure
reading about Edward and Bella’s life together.
