Twilight-Mania Roddreka Rogers NainikaSehgal
A Little Background… • Love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob • Edward and Jacob don’t exactly get along • Bella likes both of them
A Little about Stephenie… • Born in Hartford, Connecticut • Attended Brigham Young University • Married young and is a mother of three • Loved reading and always wanted to share her ideas
It all started with a dream… • Meyer dreamt about her future novel • She began writing in earnest afterward • After months of editing, “Twilight” was published and became an immediate success • On October 5th, 2005, “Twilight” was released
Kudos to Stephenie… • 49th in Time’s List of Influential People • 5th in Forbe’s Top Earning Women • Earned over 100 million dollars in revenue • “Twilight” as 25th in Publishers Weekly • Better than “Harry Potter?”
Offspring of “Twilight” • Various adaptations of the novel • The movie earned 7 million dollars from midnight showings alone • Fan Fiction • Creation of “vampire-love” themed books and TV shows • Best known parody: “Vampires Suck”
Why “goo-goo” over Twilight • Not that enthralling of plot • Cliché and predicable • Conclusion: every teenage girl’s dream • Formation of teams
“Twilight” Merchandise • Shirts • Underwear • Jackets • Pins • Hats • Backpacks • Etc…
