wom 203: reading for monday, november 9, 2009

Hi All!

For next Monday's class, I'd like you to read the first four chapters of Stephenie Meyers' draft of Midnight Sun. Of course, you can read more, but we'll talk about the first 89 pages or so.

While reading, I'd like you to consider how the story shifts when told from Edward's point of view. How do we view Edward and Bella's characters differently? How do we make sense of the relationship and the attraction between these two characters? Does Edward's behavior make more or less sense? And, how is gender constructed for both Edward and Bella?
