TWILIGHT BY STEPHENIE MEYER: LITERATURE ANALYSIS / SYNOPSIS
QUOTES - IMPORTANT QUOTATIONS AND ANALYSIS
15.) Bella and Edward finally begin their romance, and are allowed
to question one another. When Edward asks Bella questions about her life,
we come to this poetic passage about life in Phoenix:
I tried to describe impossible things like the scent of creosote - bitter,
slightly resinous, but still pleasant - the high, keening sound of the
cicadas in July, the feathery barrenness of the trees, the very size of
the sky, extending white-blue from horizon to horizon, barely interrupted
by the low mountains covered with purple volcanic rock. The hardest thing
to explain was why it was so beautiful to me - to justify a beauty that
didn't depend on the sparse, spiny vegetation that often looked half dead,
a beauty that had more to do with the exposed shape of the land, with
the shallow bowls of valleys between the craggy hills, and the way they
held on to the sun. I found myself using my hands as I tried to describe
it to him. (232)
The closing sentence shows how involved Bella becomes when describing these things, and thus how important it is to her. The sacrifice she makes for the sake of her mother by moving to Forks is thus made apparent. The language of this passage is unusual in its run-on sentences and unusually heavy descriptions. Bella tries to explain how it is a unique kind of beauty that had to do with exposed land, the play of shadow and light - very much in keeping with the notion of twilight that follows soon after...........
