Hope for the Ordinary

Alright. Alright. I did it. I too got sucked into the "Twilight" series of books by Stephenie Meyer. I stayed up late last night finishing the first book.

I can't help but wonder why the main character, Bella, is so...unendearing. I found myself hoping she would live for the sole purpose that the story could continue. She is constantly described as ordinary and klutz-like. Too much so in my opinion, until I got thinking about it. If she were gorgeously breathtaking as Edward seems to be, we would hate her. The fact that she is so ordinary gives all awkward and drab girls everywhere the hope for an enthralling love. Because heck, your blood might be captivatingly alluring. One can always hope.
