DOTW- New Moon-A New Lunar Phase?
From Wikipedia, "a new moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the moon, in it's monthly orbital motion around the Earth, lies between Earth and the sun, and is therefore in conjunction with the Sun as seen from Earth. At this time, the dark portion of the moon faces directly toward Earth so that the moon is not visible to the naked eye. Why do you think this book is called New Moon, and can you relate the story to the lunar phase?
My Thoughts
Okay, so Bella and Edward are the Earth and the Moon figuratively. Their lives revolved around each other. Each did not fee whole without the other, like the moon without its' gravitational pull toward the earth. However, he is obsessed with Bella experiencing each "right of passage" like lunar phases. So he leaves and is no longer in her immediate eyesight...but he's still there if only vaguely. This absence and darkness is devastating to Bella. However, she becomes aware that her moon/Edward is what is between her and the sun/Jacob. Even though she enjoys the sunshine, night follows. She comes to accept the reality that she cannot live in constant sunshine, but must accept and bask in the light from the moon, her moon (and i might add "moony") Edward Cullen. What?! I'm a Jacob fan! =)
I wanna hear your thought as well guys...so get to it!
