New Moon, the second novel in the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer, is a more serious novel than the enchanting love story in Twilight. In New Moon, Edward leaves Bella and Bella goes into deep mourning. With this setting comes a number of themes not present in Twilight. From loss to healing, death to forgiveness, and the power of consequences, New Moon takes a serious look at the darker side of love.
Loss in New Moon
One of the most present themes of New Moon is that of loss. The main loss is obvious-Bella loses Edward when he decides to leave after he feels he and his family put her in danger. Loss is prevalent throughout, though. Edward loses his hope that they can survive as a couple. Jacob loses his humanity as he transitions into a werewolf and a new existence because of that. Bella loses her inhibitions and becomes a thrill seeker. Edward perceives that he has lost Bella for good when he thinks she has killed herself. Edward attempts to lose his life.
Loss and the consequences of loss are largely what make New Moon into the story it is. Love stories are not all romance and perfection and often do involve loss at some level whether it is as trivial as the loss of being single or as significant at the eventual loss of the relationship if it fails. This theme adds an edge of reality to this story.
Healing/Forgivness
The flipside of all the loss in New Moon is the process of healing and forgiveness. New Moon presents its readers with many hardships, but for every hardship the characters go through, they heal and move on, or at least begin the process of moving on.
Even though it may appear that Bella never truly moves on after Edward leaves, she does find joy again in her friendship with Jacob and begins to heal. Jacob is faced with a difficult new transition-that of becoming a werewolf-and at first hides himself away as he adapts, but soon he is back to interacting with Bella and finds a new life.
Finally, perhaps the most significant sign of healing and forgiveness comes after Edward and Bella are reunited at the end of the book. Bella does not have to forgive him for leaving her, but she does. He also must forgive himself. Together, they heal from the events of New Moon and do stay together as a couple.
This theme focuses on the better sides of humanity. While everyone experiences loss, unpleasantness, or makes mistakes, it is our ability to heal, forgive, and move on (or not) that often influence our paths in life.
Consequences
Dealing with consequences is a theme seen throughout the story. This theme goes hand in hand with loss often, but not always. Edward leaves and must deal with the consequence of Bella becoming close friends with Jacob in his absence. Bella must deal with the consequences of Edward leaving. Jacob must deal with the consequences of becoming a werewolf. Everyone close to these three central characters also deals with consequences of their decisions and resulting behavior.
While everyone deals with consequences of some sort on likely a frequent basis, this theme in particular links to the author's religion and what is likely her personal beliefs. Stephenie Meyer is Mormon and the Mormon religion has a strong concept of consequences and repentance, as do many religions. No one in Twilight makes it through the stories without feeling the brunt of consequences, or going through the cycle of forgiveness.
Defiance
Defiance is a somewhat sneaky theme in New Moon, but it is present throughout. When Edward leaves, he tells Bella not to do anything stupid. But then she spends most of the book doing the opposite. She not only defies his request (And why not? He left after all), but she also defies her own logic and usual safety convictions-riding motorcycles, going up to biker strangers, and even jumping off a cliff. She defies Jacob's advice to stay away from Edward, and Edward's requests to stay away from Jacob.
Meanwhile, other characters are doing the same thing. Jacob more or less defies werewolf rules by hinting at Bella until she has enough information to guess that he is indeed a werewolf. Edward also makes a fair attempt to defy vampire law in order to kill himself.
Overall
The more serious nature of the themes of New Moon give this story an edge not present in the first book Twilight, and also significantly different from the rest of the series. Ultimately, the entire series is about the love between Edward and Bella, but in New Moon, Edward is mostly gone. New Moon focuses on what happens when you lose people and facets of your life.
Alexandre Desplat composed the New Moon theme song.
first open your psp folder then you should see a theme folder drag the theme in to there if not create a new folder in capitals called THEMES in the psp folder.
the book is called new moon because when Edward leaves Bella it is a new moon. a new moon is the portion of the lunar cycle when there appears to be no moon.
The book New Moon is the second book in the Twilight Saga. The book details Bella's budding relationship with Jacob Black after the departure of Edward Cullen.
The background is controlled by the theme. Some themes are run by a cascading style sheet which makes it fairly easy to edit the look of a theme. You can get new themes from the SMF site (simplemachines.org). Instructions for installing themes are also available on that site.

No, both titles are indicating to the same book. Said book being the second book in the Twilight Series, New Moon. Technically the correct term is 'Twilight Saga; New Moon'
New Moon book - if you don't know the storyline, you can't fully understand everything. Also, New Moon is really good.
Maybe like a sort of New Years Theme, but nothing exactly.
On the cover of the book and near the middle of the book. It's supposed to mean like a new leaf, a new start for Bella after her depression.
