Twilight
By: Dominique Handy

Twilight has become the number one young adult novel and now made its way to a major film hit, revealing a mortal and a vampire’s exquisite love.

The thing that makes Twilight so special is the non-stop increasing romance. The characters are unique in their own way. Edward is both mysterious and calm, while his soul mate Bella is determined and eager. The story takes place in a little town in Washington called Forks. Where Bella meets the beautiful Edward. Their relationship prospers into this bond that is so strong. Edward is constantly trying to ignore the fact that Bella doesn’t just have the sweetest personality, but the sweetest flesh he’s ever come across.

He fights with himself everyday giving up his desire to have something much more, the love of his life for the first time in 90 years. Bella struggles with the fact that she’s getting older while Edward will stay the same age forever. The question is, will Bella soon become one of Edwards kind. This film reveals a teenage girl adjusting to a new place and then wanting to adjust herself of being the girlfriend of a vampire who just can’t stay away from her. He shows he love and protection. He’s just afraid of one thing, Bella getting hurt and ending her life, which means starting the life of forever with him.

Stephenie Meyers was interviewed and explains every missing detail that is not completely understandable in her book. Twilight was brought to her attention through a dream. She hadn’t written anything in years, but twilight kept eating at her. So finally she sat down at the computer and put her brain to work.

The title was first called,” Forks”, but it didn’t give the story much attention. So it then turned into Twilight. Twilight became something more than just a written book, but something close to her. Bella and Edward became apart of her.

The film was indeed a major hit, but a lot of scenes were changed, but the most important thing is that the story was brought to life. Fans are hoping that,” New Moon”, will soon become a live film too, but what fans are even more excited about is for Stephenie Meyers fifth book. Praying that this breathtaking story continues in some shape or form.

This film caught everyone’s attention because of the romance and the supernatural involvement. A vampire falling in love with a human is something that doesn’t happen in everyday life. So people want to know what and how a love story like that could ever work or couldn’t. A lot of people were blown away by this beautiful story. It creates love, friendship, and forever.

Stephan Scoggins, a registered nurse, cared for his aunt after she returned home from cosmetic surgery. She died the next day.

Kanye West is a powerful rapper and his mom was very close to him and it just breaks my heart that she died like that. Looking at this photo just makes me wonder where do Kanye get all his courage and strenght from. He's still making hits and focusing on his dream.

Expectations for the high-end entertainment complex have been high since work began three years ago, but the downturn is putting more pressure on it to be a success.

The economy is really tuff nowa days and a place like Los Angeles, Californiais a hard and high place to live. The entertainment neverstops though. I personally think that LA was made for entertainment and celebrations. This picture stands out because how beautiful that panorama looks.

Crop failure and economic collapse have left the nation without food. Millions survive on nothing but wild fruit. 'Children are dying out in the bush,' one foreign doctor says.

Seeing this picture makes me so thankful for all the things I have now in my life. These people live off of fruit and insects, and are dropping dead each day. I consider myself very blessed tobe clothed and healthy today because i know it could be even worse than i thought.

John Austria of the Navy says goodbye to his 3-month-old daughter as he prepares to deploy with the Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron at Naval Station on Coronado, Calif.

I picked this picture because to me it's sad. I hate the thought of him having to leave his newborn baby to go fight and probably lose his life. This picture of this man and his child makes me really reognize how serious war is and also how unfair it is.

Lakers Kobe Bryant drives to the basket against Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers during the first quarter Tuesday in Indianapolis.
After a 17-0 run gives them a 15-point lead heading into the fourth, Lakers stop playing defense and watch as Troy Murphy tips in the winning basket as time expires. Kobe Bryant leads L.A. with 28 points.

I'm from California, Los Angeles and over there everyone is a big basketball fan. So i picked this picture specifically because it reminds me of how far Kobe has come since he's been a pro basketball player. He's been committed to his team for over 7 years now,and it amazes me how much he loves basketball and works as hard as he ever did before.Even if it isn't enough.

Caption Writing

Caption writing is a mini story. Something that gives out all the news in a short amount of sentences. Usually one or two. In caption writing it's important to include why the picture is important, who is in the picture, and what's going on in the picture. Even though caption writing isn't really short, every detail needs to be included.
