This is a response to the link. If آپ disagree with this article, instead of leaving pointless hate-spam, which is just a waste of time, please explain why آپ don’t like it, یا any points I got wrong.

“The story is written compellingly enough that a wide body of readers is able to fit into the persona of Bella and love Edward.”
I hate to break it to you, but that isn’t a result of good writing. It’s quite the opposite, actually. Bella is a very one-dimensional character. She has no real hobbies, defining character traits, یا even any specific physical appearance, and because of the series being written in first person, it requires essentially no brainpower to imagine آپ are her. Simply put, she’s a Mary-Sue, and that’s a sign of bad writing.

“Edward himself is written as the most desirable guy on the face of the Earth. He has vampirically enhanced features that are model-perfect, even مزید so. It’s not just his handsome face that is described in worshipful detail, but the sound of his voice, the feel of his cold and marble-hard skin, and even the smell of his breath. Adding in the fact that he possesses super speed, super strength, immortality, and the ability to read the minds of almost everyone but Bella herself and he seems like a godly personification.”
How could I forget? Meyer reminds us almost every paragraph Edward is present. Yet again, a sign of bad writing.

He is a vampire, which means he constantly feels the desire to eat people, Bella in particular.
This is not a flaw until something bad comes of it. There is a rule in literature known as “show, don’t tell.” Now, Meyer has obviously never heard of this because we usually get either get “tell (x), دکھائیں nothing,” یا “tell (x), دکھائیں (y).” While Edward constantly says he’s dangerous, wants to eat Bella, and could kill her any second, he never acts on it. If he accidentally hurt her یا tried to drink her blood, I would count this as a flaw, however, he doesn’t. He always shows perfect self control.
I do not count (1) his thoughts at the beginning of Midnight Sun because that is, once again, telling, not showing, (2) him trying to drink Bella’s blood at the end of Twilight because he was trying to save her life and was able to stop very quickly, یا (3) the bruises he gave Bella during their honeymoon because he destroyed furniture instead of her, and bruises are not a serious/long-term injury.

“Bella, however, continues to pursue him and he changes his mind, deciding to indulge his obsessive inclinations سے طرف کی sneaking into her room at night to watch her sleep and covertly following her around, eventually seeking out a proper relationship.”
Unfortunately, the fact that Edward stalks Bella is somehow considered “romantic.” Words that come to my mind are “creepy,” “disgusting,” “sick,” “paedophilic” (he’s over 100 and she’s 17 = he’s a paedophile), etc. Take your pick.
This is an ENORMOUS flaw, and yet I feel I cannot count it. The مصنف does not consider this a flaw; therefore, it was not addressed as such. Characters need to work on their flaws throughout the book/series/movie/*insert form of storytelling here* in order for them to develop and grow. Edward doesn’t ever progress from this, as far as we know, and because this flaw doesn’t impede his character in any way (except for receiving a lot of hate from antis and members of Team Jacob), I will not count this as a flaw.

“What is attractive about Edward as a predatory vampire is, I believe, the dangerous power associated with the character and its potential to be used maliciously. There’s something enthralling about imagining myself in the position of Bella, infatuated with this dark, beautiful, and powerful man and knowing he could kill her should he lose willpower for just an instant.”
If Edward actually drank human blood I would accept this as a flaw, but since he has perfect control, this does not count.
Also, Bella is a masochist, and apparently آپ are too... I’m not entirely sure if that’s a good thing.

“Edward: And the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Bella: What a stupid lamb.
Edward: What a sick, masochistic lion!”

Now, آپ may have noticed my use of the word “masochistic” in the گزشتہ statement. It is a prime example of Stephenie Meyer’s poor writing skills under the category us antis like to call ‘Thesaurus Rape.’
Masochism
mas•och•ism [mássə kìzzəm]
noun
1. sexual pleasure through humiliation: sexual gratification achieved through humiliation and physical and verbal abuse
2. psychological disorder: the psychological disorder in which somebody needs to be emotionally یا physically abused in order to be sexually satisfied
3. تلاش for abusive sexual partners: the active seeking out of sexual partners who will dominate, humiliate, and physically and verbally abuse
4. enjoyment of hardship: the tendency to invite and enjoy misery of any kind, especially in order to be pitied سے طرف کی others یا admired for forbearance

If this word was used to describe Bella, I wouldn’t even notice, however, Edward uses the word “masochistic” to describe himself. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think this is the proper تفصیل of Edward, and Meyer needs to stop using big words that even she doesn’t understand.

“Jacob and Quil are not creepy pedophiles, but rather boys who feel the kind of love of an older family member feels toward their young imprintees. They’re like the model babysitters and preschool teachers who seriously love their kids and want to see them happy, albeit with their love situated on specific people. When the kids age to the point that the average adult would find them attractive, it can be assumed that the shapeshifters will want to pursue a romantic relationship, but at that point the playing field is pretty much level and age is no longer an issue.”
This is called child grooming, and it’s a form of paedophilia.
I’d also like to point out here that Jacob would (most probably) begin having sex with Renesmee when she reaches the age of 7. Now, while آپ may argue that she looks 17, firstly, that’s a stupid argument because she’s still underage, and secondly, it’s not about how old آپ look, it’s about how many years have passed since your birth. It is still paedophilia!

“In response to the common complaint that Twilight is written poorly, I would have to say that the concept of good literature is highly subjective.”
You’re confusing “quality of writing” with “entertainment value.” Twilight is full of grammatical errors, misuse of words, dry dialogue, repetitive and long-winded descriptions, etc. This is poor writing. Now, آپ may still find entertainment in a piece which is written poorly, just as آپ can find a well written book to be completely boring; that’s how it works. Enjoying something does not mean it’s automatically good. For example, I’m addicted to the TV دکھائیں ‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager.’ It’s my guilty pleasure. However, as I watch, I recognise that some of the actors are substandard, the plot is full of clichés, there are many cheesy lines, and whoever is editing this together is absolutely shocking, but that doesn’t mean I can’t like it, I still find it entertaining.
There are some pieces of classic literature which bore me to tears too, because everyone enjoys different things, but the quality of the writing is not completely dependent on the enjoyment someone gets from reading it; it’s based on the technical aspects of the writing. Stephenie Meyer is not a good writer, that’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.

“Finally, I have read numerous blog مضامین criticizing مصنف Stephenie Meyer’s decision to incorporate religious themes and messages into the book series.”
I don’t have a problem with religious themes and messages in a book, but once male supremacy becomes one of those values promoted, I have to draw the line.

In conclusion, I find most of the hate against Twilight running rampant on the Internet to be overblown. Surely, Twilight is not the kind of epic, involved, and progressive story like Harry Potter یا Buffy the Vampire Slayer. However, for what it is, which is an intimate fantastical romance story that can be appreciated سے طرف کی a large quantity of people, it is of high enough quality to achieve high popularity. This should be respected even if the story doesn’t appeal to everyone.
If everyone knows Twilight is nowhere near the standard of Harry Potter, why does Breaking Dawn have “Move over Harry Potter” printed on the back? Twilight is what it is: a cheesy paranormal romance for teens. It’s not a saga, it’s not the best love story since Romeo and Juliet, it’s not well written. Now, آپ may see this “hate” as being overblown, but that’s what it looks like when lots of people all feel the same way about it, and I doubt it will stop until the Twilight fad dies down.

Bella's POV

I looked up from the سوفی, لٹانا where Edward held me and ran out of his arms.

"Alice!" I cried as I squeezed her small frame that would probably ed up giving me bruises. "Edward why didn't آپ say anything?"

"Sorry love, I was a little...preoccupied." Edward suddenly whispered in my ear. It was a reunion for Edward and Alice too. The two of them hugged each other gently because I was still sandwiched between them. Alice kissed my check gently.

"I saw آپ returning and making up! I told Esme and Carlisle and they're already packing.." She کہا with exuberance before Edward interrupted.

"Wait."...

Ring. Ring. Ring.

It's my phone ringing and I see the name Alice flashing on the screen. It's as if she read my mind.

"Alice, I need help," I said.

"Help?" she sounded startled.

"What do I do about Edward," I moaned into the phone.

"Oh, thank goodness I thought something happened that I missed. I do not know what to do about...

Chapter 11- Adventure

I woke up screaming in the middle of the night. Tom was quick to come and make sure I was all right. I assured him I was then stared at the ceiling. I really wasn’t all right. I don’t think it was possible for anyone in this situation to be anywhere near all right. I laid there the remainder of the night, jumping at the slightest noises out یا inside.

The اگلے morning Abigail walked in. “Tom is getting everything ready to get آپ safely transported to Lilly’s,” she told me sitting on the end of the bed. I nodded, looking out the window. “Is there anything I can...

“Alice I’m fine. کلیم down please. Your scaring Neisse. I sorry I must of gone into Deep thought. I’ve been doing that lately. A little too much. I’m really sorry Honey.”I کہا while trying to کلیم both of them down and holding my daughter in my lap in the car,

I walked up to my room with Katie behind me. Why is this happening? Why does she have to be here? I led her into my room. I shut the door slowly after she walked in.

She walked around my room and looked at everything. Then she sat down on my bad and looked up at me. She looked... sad? Like she was going to cry. I wasn't expecting this. Not in a million years would I expect that.

"Bella, I'm sorry. I shouldn't of done that. But آپ probably know how it feels to be in love with someone when they don't like آپ that way. یا at least that is probably what آپ thought was going on. I'm the reason...

“My eyes…”

My chocolate colored eyes were gone and I knew they would not come back, EVER. I got afraid if Edward didn’t like me the way he did before.

“Of course I do!”

Edward کہا with a smile on his face. What?! He could read my mind now?

“I can’t believe it! What?! It’s so unfair! I want my silenced-mind back!”

I tapped my legs...

-You won Edward.

Edward stood up and came to my side. He had his eyes closed and he was fragile.

-I can’t understand Jasper’s thoughts. It’s like; he empties his mind every ten minutes. Why am I a nonsense creature these days?!

I hugged him and got his hand in mine. I could see that they were all sad and they couldn’t concentrate on anything. When Carlisle showed up, everyone was in the living room. And I could understand that this time, my existence there, was no good! So, I made an excuse and Edward took me ہوم without any other word. Edward wasn’t in a good mood so I didn’t ask...

I woke up very tired. I turned my phone on and realized that I has missed seven of Alice's calls. I felt bad, but I couldn't call her now, I had to get ready for school. Charlie was already gone, luckily. Once I was ready for school, I didn't feel like sitting around and waiting to leave, so I just left a few منٹ early.

When I got there I realized that the parking lot was practically empty. But, Alice and the Cullens were all already there.

"Alice!" I yelled even though I knew she heard me pull up. She walked over to me, smiling.

"It's okay, آپ don't have to apologize to me," Alice said...

Ring. Ring. Ring.

The sound of my phone woke me up. It was Alice.

"Alice what do آپ want?" I کہا into the phone.

"That's a nice way to greet your friend, isn't it? Well I don't want anything from you. I have information on Jacob for you."

"Really? How? Tell me!"

"Well it's kind of a lot and I feel that I should tell آپ in person. Not over the phone. Can I come over now?" Alice asked.

"Sure," normally I wouldn't let Alice over at this hour, but I wanted to know...

"Alice, I'm so sorry that I just ran out like that," I کہا when I realized that it was her.

"Well I did go home, after آپ left. But I saw آپ in a vision and from what I saw, it did not go very well. Do آپ want to talk about it?" Alice said.

"I didn't even talk to him! I only saw Billy and he کہا that Jacob was out with some friends. Which I doubt. Did آپ happen to see where he was?" I asked hopefully.

"Well ,for some reason I couldn't see anything at the Blacks house. It was like I was blind. Normally I can see anything when I am looking for it. But I just couldn't," Alice said, obviously...

Catching Up:

I woke up suddenly, but refreshed. I yawned and made my way to the cupboard. I opened it and grabbed the first outfit I could find. I walked to the bathroom and got changed in there. I washed my face and brushed my hair before going downstairs.
“Good morning” I said, before sitting down at the table.
“Morning Bells” Mum کہا and passed me a plate of سٹرابیری, اسٹرابیری toast.

When I opened my eyes, Edward was staring straight into my eyes. I placed my head on his hand and tried to sleep before I had to get up and get ready.

-Bella,love. آپ seem really tired. Are آپ sure آپ wanna go to school today?

I turned my head and stared into his golden eyes. He kissed my forehead and started playing with my hair.

-I should go. We have biology test! It's important.

He chuckled and said:
-Ok,Ok! I know that you're a total geek!

I punched him on his shoulder where his skin was Ice cold as always. The clouds were covering the sky so after 2 days that Edward couldn't come to school, He finally could and that made me happy for almost a minute.

-Can آپ wear your blue T-shirt Today? The one that I bought you?!

I nodded with my head and got the t-shirt Edward had bought me the other week. I wore it while Edward was holding me in his arms.

-Ah, your strong!

I giggled and got myself out of his arms.
