Renesmee


Renesmee is the half-human, half-vampire daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan who are the main characters of the book series, Twilight Saga, written by Stephanie Meyer. Renesmee comes in the fourth and the final book, Breaking Dawn. What made me write a separate blog on Renesmee is her being such a different character for a baby, or maybe I am unable to give a right word for that. The name Renesmee has been chosen by Bella from Renee and Esme and her full name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen, Carlie being the combination of Charlie and Carlisle.   

 Renesmee has brown eyes which are said to be like her mother and beautiful and also her mother’s cheeks with a light pink touch in them and she has the complexion like Edward which obviously makes her very beautiful. Renesmee drinks blood from a cup from the start of her birth but she’s very patient with humans that mean she has not the uncontrollable factor for humans like the immortal kids and she also has the factor of fascinating anyone who sees her. 

Bella is not allowed to go near Renesmee for some days after her turning into a vampire because she is thought to lose control with Renesmee as she has blood in her veins. Renesmee grows really fast, faster than any human baby and in weeks she looks years old. She can speak from a very young age but she prefers talking to people by touching their cheeks and necks and showing them her thoughts. That was the part I liked when she has to show converse with everyone by touching their cheeks. It was a nice part when Bella finally comes near Renesmee and she asks Rosalie, who is holding her, by touching her cheek that is she the one, means her mother and then she wants to go to Bella urgently. 

Then there is the Jacob-imprinting-on-Renesmee part. It was a pretty good turn of the story, just when I was getting a little bored of the book, when Rosalie unconsciously holds her to her shoulder, Jake ready to kill her because he thinks it’s because of Renesmee that Bella has died and is in agony for losing her and the whole imprinting thing happens as soon as he sees that little face with those familiar brown eyes and how Edward is furious at that and later Bella also gets terribly angry but the whole thing is irrevocable and things somehow starts getting normal as Renesmee likes Jacob too and how Jake is all over protective of her and starts to get along with vampires because he has to. Well, it was weird how Jake got his imprinting too, when his first love Bella was now impossible while all along I had the notion that he and Leah would become a couple.  

And then there was a part that Volturi thinks that Renesmee is an immortale child and comes to destroy her and Bella prepares for Renesmee and Jacob to run away if things got out of control with the Volturi. Though I knew that won’t happen but that was emotional how Bella prepares sadly for Renesmee to flee forever if they lost and the farewell by Edward and Bella. Anyway, reading about Renesmee was the only good part in Breaking Dawn and I was really, really fascinated by her in a weird way I couldn’t understand myself!

Twilight

I had only heard that Twilight is a best selling book and is also a popular movie but looking at the cover, i didn't find anything that would catch my attention. But that was until my sister bought this book just because of it being a best seller, with no intention of reading it anytime soon. But it was me who picked up this book just to read the back cover and then i started flipping through the start to give it a try. As much as i have experience reading books, i have inferred that much that a book is always uninteresting till the first two or three pages and so was the case with this book too so i kept on reading and most certainly it caught me and i found that I'm liking reading it which turned into hard-to-leave-reading.
Edward Cullen, the perfect guy, fascination for every girl, and so was for me, though i wasn't a teenager when i read it :) I loved the place Forks and everything about Edward. The way he treated Bella, a true gentleman, that's the perfect word for him. Too bad guys are not into reading this book or they could gain some knowledge as to what is the way to treat girls :) The way the interaction of Edward and Bella Started and how it became closer and serious, was all too good. The Cullen family, Carlisle, Esme, Alice Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett and Edward, an unbelievably harmless vampire family, because of which they never really felt like real vampires. Their extraordinary beauty and they being immensely rich was another thing which was strange and new. But Bella was a character who was never happy and sometimes she was quite lame.
Like any other Twilight fan, i have my favorite dialogues: "and so the lion fell in love with the lamb"- Edward Cullen, "you are exactly my brand of heroine" -Edward Cullen and "take care of my heart, Ive left it with you" -Edward Cullen. None from Bella because smooth talking as never her thing.   
Till the end i was a new hardcore Twilight fan. I had no idea that this book has sequels so when the book ended 'just like that', without Bella turning into a vampire or any definite ending, it left me sour.
The movie was good too. Robert Pattinson seemed a perfect choice for the role of Edward Cullen. What more, i loved the song "eyes on fire" by Paramore, which was taken for the movie and it was played when Edward was looking at Bella from across the parking lot. I think it was a good choice, the lyrics suit. That mysterious kind of music all through the movie gave the real feel. Overall, the whole movie was excellent, no wonder it won so many awards. Well, to sum up, someone has rightly said, "Edward Cullen gave us unrealistic assumptions about boys" :)
