Twilight
by: Stephenie Meyer

I am re-reading Twilight because I am curious to figure out what is missing in the movie. I have now seen the movie 4 times and feel like it is missing a huge part of the book but I can't remember what it was that is missing. Right now I am only in the first chapter where Bella is just leaving her home in Arizona with her mom and her mom's boyfriend Phil. She describes how much she dislikes Forks, the town she is moving to, and how she is not to excited to be living with her father. She gets off her plane where she is not surprised that it is raining since she is in Washington state where is is cloudy and rainy most of the time. Bella and her dad Charlie have to drive an hour to get from the airport to their home in Forks. Charlie tells Bella about her homecoming present which is a car from one of his friends Billy Black. She has no memory of Billy or his son Jaboc. She is not thrilled of how Charlie explains the car but is glad that she does not have to buy a car with the little money she has. In the movie this is different, when Bella gets to her house she is surprised by a visit from Billy and his son Jacob who are coming to watch T.V. with Charlie and is completely excited about the car and remembers Billy and Jacob right away.
