@maryam...OMO jingu u can write a whole essay here aha i read most of it and i like the analysis, its interesting u mentioned the whole aspect of seeing vampires in a new light because i was trying to convince a friend of mine to start reading twlight and she said it sounded similar to Anne Rice's novels (ive never read any, so those who have please post) but apparently her novels depict vampires substituting human blood for animal blood.....interesting.....
