The Host Prt. 3

Chapter 8 I would most definitely connect to Twilight. Another one of Stephanie Meyers fantastic books!! In this chapter, Melanie is having a flash back to when she is with Jared. Melanie and Jared have an unconditional love for one another like Edward and Bella in Twilight. In Twilight, Bella is always explaining how she feels when with Edward and how she reacts to him. A quote from the Host where Melanie is explaining how she feels about Jared is on pg. 74.

"Without seeming to think about is, he reaches out and takes my hand. My skin burns where it meets his. It feels better than good, but it sets off a strange aching in my chest. He is forever touching me this way, always seeming to need to reassure himself that I am here. (pg. 74)

In this part Melanie is explaining how her skin burns every time Jared touches her. Like Bella in Twilight, Bella always explains how her heart rate speeds up when Edward touches her. In a way, Bella and Melanie are very similar in the way they feel for their significant other.
