twilight the new crack
Over the past 5 years, we have seen more people flock to the idea that vampires are sparkly and Goth. As we look at the article viewed on Tuesday the people following these books and follow the life how the charecters live and wish that could date the charecters. There is also alot of fan fiction out there that is very racy and doesn't follow how the story's actually is. These people can't live real lives they have to live vicariously through these charecters and that is fine but when your life becomes dedicated to what you read in a teens book, then you have some problems. As we view society today, people are looking for something to hold on too and believe in. Whether it be a fictional charecter or a real person, people believe what they want to believe. I will admit I have enjoyed the twilight series but for reasons i rather not explain on the internet. I have moved on and started to go into other series but I will always remeber the story. I Dont use it as life force like alot of people but i enjoy it.
