What made Twilight good and what do you wish was different?
In my debate class we are debating Twilight because it is so world wide and people have so many views on it. I need different people's opinions so what do you think made Twilight good and what do you wish was different? Thanks!
(ex. It was good because of her writing but bad because of the fact that Bella couldn't do anything without Edward, I wish she was more independent.(

I wish that Jacob was older than bella in age years, it would have made him more of a realistic opponent for edward and made the story slightly more interesting
=D:
It was good because I got to laugh at fan girls but bad because Stephanie Meyer sucks

The plot is what makes Twilight good.
I just wish Kristen Stewart didn't have the part of Bella. She's so bad at acting.

I would say that Twilight is a good book book because of all the charecters sound so real when they're not mystical creatures and how it's like life. (The first few chapters anyway.)
I'd change how sometimes the things are so out of order and you can't even tell where/when you're at.

Twilight wasn't good. It gets very old very quickly. Harry Potter is the way to go. So much better. Twilight has repetitive words, but Harry Potter has really good vocabulary. Plus, Harry Potter has a much better plot. And there is romance, for all you debating about that. I could continue forever, but I think I'll end with Harry Potter's last book was a thousand times better then Twilight's. I've read the Twilight books 2 times and switched to HP. So much better. Thanks, I hope you switch too :) HARRY POTTER FOREVER! :D <3

It's Good, because i'm in it.
No seriously, the reason it's popular is because it's not a difficult book to understand. anyone can read it, and it holds no real deeper meaning. that's why many teenagers are attracted to it. also bells is a very two-dimensional character so readers find it easy to slip into her perspective and relate to her. more complicated characters are more difficult to relate to (this is why you hear a lot of girls saying "I'm exactly like bella from twilight!"). Twilight is a Trend. you aren't anyone if you haven't read it.
Now i will go back to impersonating a fictional character.

Its the plot that makes it good. The fantasies so many people have about being with such a beautiful creature like Edward. I LOVED the book. I thought it was very well detailed and fun to read. THe movie, however, was not as good as the book. The makeup ruined the movie for me. Very poorly done makeup and lots of good scenes left out from the book. I'm just starting to read New Moon and I love it already. After reading Twilight I want to know a Vampire. Its not like any other vampire movie or book. They are not vampires that kill every human they see and they don't burn when they go into the sun. Its a great book!

Do not, not, not, tell anyone it was good because of her writing. Her writing style is terrible, she's said so herself. It's good because it's a form of entertainment (for some, I thought it was fairly boring), it's bad because it's of little or no literary value.
As far as the morals in the book go, they're also pretty bad. Edward displays characteristics of a controlling/abusive boyfriend, Bella doesn't stand up for herself in any way, shape, or form (and completely changes who she is as soon as Edward is introduced), and the entire storyline is poor in its use of literary tools and often contradicts itself.
If that's not your opinion, don't debate it like that, since it'll come across that you don't know/don't believe in what you're talking about, but it's certainly something to consider. However you choose to debate it (you could, for instance, say that it's good that teenagers are reading at all), it is best, if applicable, to look within the book itself and find good quotes/etc that prove or back up your point.

What really would have made Twilight good would have been if Bella wasn't so desperate and she would have made Edward work a little harder. It would have made it a lot better.
Utterly Twilight ♥ HTH:
I wish that in the movie, Edward was less...i don't know...like stiff, I wish they made him happy...like in the books.
I also wish that Bella wasn't such a goodie.
-Like a wish she would hold grudges...like with Jacob (sorry Team Jacobers)
-She makes me feel like such a rebel, because i don't cook my dad dinner and do his washing too :P
I also wish that SM had, had a bit more experience writing before she wrote Twilight so that it may of been a bit better quality read...(not that she is a bad writer).
But overall I love the book, I don't think it has too many faults.
