    It's a metaphor for homosexuality

    That's boring. I English teachered it months ago and came up with a much better interpretation. It's all a dream that represents conflicting career choices. Bella can be either be an executioner (death, undead, necrophilia, Edward) or a veterinarian (healing, animals, bestiality, Jacob). Forks is obviously a metaphor for itself. It's a fork in the road for her. I got all of this from reading the TVTropes page. The worst part is that I still hate the series.

    You had me up until you started speaking Espanol, the only word from which I know is, in fact, Espanol. Translate?

    It's the only thing that allows it to fit under even the loosest classification of "Literature."
    I see.

    Well my teacher read into it because he hates twilight (because the students never shut up about it) and wanted to see what it was supposed to be about.

    oh, so he just took whatever popped into his head first basically. I don't want to sound rude, but it sounds just like my Literature teacher at my College

    ...not quite. By "read into it" I meant he researched it and what the author said about its hidden meanings.

    So your teacher thinks Meyer's ripped the idea from "Top Gun"?

    oh, so he read into it a little too much. Maybe he should just read the book himself and think on it himself

    Not quite sure, considering I don't know anything about "Top Gun" other than the fact that Tom Cuise is in it.

    Quentin Tarantino talked about the movie "Top Gun" as being such a metaphor in a film. I didn't expect many people to get the joke (reflects my oldness around here).

    Call me crazy, but I thought Pearl Harbor was the movie about Pearl Harbor.

    Well, everytime I think of Top gun I keep thinking about a movie that's about the attack on Pearl Harber and when they retaliate. And it's not a documentary

    My thought exactly.

    "Top Gun" is about fighter pilots. Starring Tom Cruise. Honestly, I've never watched it myself.
