Twilight History

Twilight began with a dream. Now I know that might sound a bit cheesy, but I find it very cool and interesting. I mean, what if everyone in the world had such a dream like Stephenie Meyer’s, and we all decided to make books out of it? Not that we’d have places to put all of these books, nor the time to read them all. So one night, Steph, as her friends called her, got up and sat down at her desk and began writing. She started from the core of it all, the scene in the meadow. She worked to create the characters, found the names to fit them, and let them take her on an amazing adventure.
When Stephenie finished writing her very first novel, many things happened in between, but she finally found a publisher that wanted to publish her book: Little, Brown. This romantic fantasy was released in 2006, and it instantly became a hit. Though there were thousands of readers and fans of this book, it wasn’t as nearly as popular as it became when the movie version came out in theatres on November 21, 2008. Earlier that year, the final book in the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn, was released. Even more became fans, and its popularity grew. Twilight (the movie)’s box office worldwide engrossed over $380,000,000!!!
Little by little, tweens, teens, and adults became interested in the story, and the books started selling even more. I mean, I had read all of the books in exactly 14 days, and it had been before I had seen the movie, though after it had come out in theatres. I quickly spread the news of what was going on with the Twilight craziness, and soon enough, 15 of my 26 classmates became Twilighters. We were all anxious to watch the movie on DVD now, and we were sure that it’d be great. On the very same day Twilight came out on DVD, March 21, 2009, it sold over 3 million copies!!!
The Twilight fans all over the world craved to find out what would happen. The solution: read the books! I had many of my family members as well join this group, and soon enough, here we are! I know we all can’t wait for New Moon to make its debut on whatever day it is, depending on where we are in the world. But I am sure, thanks to the cast, the crew, and their dedication, the movie will be a sure hit!
