Even though my last response was on this same book (A New Dawn), every chapter is written by a different author, which makes each chapter interesting and unique in their own way. The chapter I just finished is by K.A Nuzum. Nuzum does a great job by capturing the readers attention and making them want more. More similes that are compared to real life things, more mystery, more wondering, more Twilight. Nuzum provides the reader, or in this case myself, with information making you want to believe what you're reading. Information like how Edward is a monster or how Meyer's werewolves aren't the traditional ones you usually here about.
Nuzum includes little details backing up her thoughts. When you first read it, you don't think about it as much as you do after reading about how the fact is true. For example, Nuzum brings up how instead of the werewolves in Twilight being compelled to kill humans, they are compelled to protect them. When reading this, I read it like I already knew this. I've realized that the werewolves of course aren't the type of werewolves that pop in your mind when you hear the word werewolves, but Meyer creates her characters differently than what most people would expect. Nuzum compares Meyer in this chapter in a very great way. "She has given them the ability to exist in mythic time as monsters and to reclaim their humanity in historic time". I agree with her on this statement. Meyer does something in her books many authors don't do. She does exactly what she wants to do, the way she wants to. I think Meyer doesn't believe in following the rules. If there were a book about how werewolves act around humans, Meyer wouldn't make her werewolves be similar to that, which is why I enjoyed her series. She is different.
Overall, I've liked reading this chapter because of the certain attributes that Nuzum has brought to my attention. When reading this section, I really felt like she was talking to me, the reader. So far, this is my favorite chapter yet!
