As mentioned in class, after reading “Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway the night before i went straight to sleep. I didn’t understand the story and was confused but i liked that because i was able to come up with all kinds of bizarre ideas of what the story actually meant. Like everyone else i first thought it was about sex, but out of no where i just thought of the movie twilight as i was reading the story. I kept thinking about how the story would go about as i fell asleep and i ended up dreaming about it. In the dream, my imagination for the meaning of the story was completed. It was a dream about vampires, starring Edward and Bella but this time the roles were reversed and Bella was the vampire and Edward wanted Bella to turn him into one as well. I won’t go into detail but the general idea was when Bella walked out of the shade her skin shimmered a bright silvery white which in my dream was the exact color of how the ‘white hills’ looked like in the distance. and Edwards like “NO!, come back into the shade!” kind of thing. It was absolutely fascinating and because of twilight I’m pretty into vampires and I was really happy when i woke up in the morning cause I felt like I had a nice dream.
