FAQ about Twilight and New Moon

Twilight

What CD is Bella listening to in chapter seven?

Bella is listening to Linkin Park. Stephanie Meyer left this out because she wasn't sure how long the book would take to get published and she wanted to make sure the band was still cool.

What does Bella look like? (details)

"In my head, Bella is very fair-skinned, with long, straight, dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her face is heart-shaped—a wide forehead with a widow's peak, large, wide-spaced eyes, prominent cheekbones, and then a thin nose and a narrow jaw with a pointed chin. Her lips are a little out of proportion, a bit too full for her jaw line. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and more straight than they are arched. She's five foot four inches tall, slender but not at all muscular, and weighs about 115 pounds. She has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them." ~Stephanie Meyer

What does the apple on the cover signify?
The apple on the front cover symbolizes the forbidden fruit. Stephanie Meyer used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because she loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." because this exactly what Bella ends up with. A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, she loves the beautiful simplicity of the picture. To her it says: choice. 

New Moon 

What did Edward break in the living room after the vote?

Edward ripped the sixty inch plasma TV, that the Cullens shipped in from Korea, into halves.
Why did Edward leave?
Edward left because he thought he was protecting Bella from himself and the supernatural world that he lived in.
What does the tittle refer to?
The term New Moon refers to the phase of the moon opposite of a full moon. Its the darkest part of night. New Moon is the darkest part of Bella's life.
What kind of flower is on the cover and why?
The flower on the cover is a ruffled tulip. If you've read about Twilight then you would know that the apple on the front has a very significant meaning to Stephanie Meyer. But surprisingly Stephanie Meyer did not have anything to do with the cover of new moon, so she does not know what the tulip means.
