Everyone at E.I.S. is Reading Twilight

student at Escuela Internacional Sampedrana is reading the Stephanie Meyer’s best seller, Twilight. This is the first book of the collection. The sequels are New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Twilight is about a vampire name Edward Cullen that falls in love with a normal game named Bella. Most of the girls have fallen in love with Edward Cullen. They say that he is the perfect man for any girl. The most famous quote mentioned when talking about Twilight is “Only a vampire can love you forever.” Most girls feel related to Bella. Their hearts get broken in some love scenes since it is very intense. Many girls even cry when reading Twilight. Since it is a love story, mostly girls are the readers. However, the boys at school have also felt intrigued in reading it. They have loved it too!
Most students use DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read) to read the story. Some have even gotten in trouble for reading out of subject book s during class time. It is like if they get obsessed with the book. You can also see many students during recess and lunch at the caseta or at the library reading Twilight. Some students read the books, which are like 500 pages long, in only one day! They can’t resist stopping to read. Most people can’t just read the first book; they’ve also read the other three.
Currently the Twilight movie is being shown in theaters in The United States and in other countries. Many students were awaiting the movie to be shown here in Honduras in November, the same time it was released in The United States but supposedly it will be shown in theaters until January or February. However, the movie has already been sold in the streets, but those are pirate movies. Also the movie was uploaded online, but since it was also piracy, it was removed quickly from the web. Many stores have also made money selling many Twilight stuff such as t-shirts, key chains, chocolates, pencils, sweaters and many more things.
Twilight has been a huge boom. The author Stephanie Meyer never expected it to be a huge success. Hopefully the next books will also be shown in theaters. Although many reviews say that people were kind of disappointed of the movie because it was nothing compared to the book. At the end of this year hopefully New Moon will be shown in theaters. Many people all around the world are waiting anxiously for the movie to be released and expect it to be as good as the book was.
