New Moon #2 (95-189)

In this part of the book, Bella has been spending alot of time with Jacob doing somewhat dangerous things. She realises that whenever she does dangerous things, she can hear Edward's voice in her head telling her to be careful. This of course makes Bella wanting more to do dangerous things since it's the only way that she can disregard his promise: "It will be as if I never existed". He says this to her because he wants her to keep her soul and be a happy normal human. He thinks that if he's in her life than she will miss out on things that he doens't want her to. She of course disagrees with him because she's convinced that she can't ever live with out him. It seems as if when people break up with people they say they want them to just forget about them and move on with their life. That's impossible to do though, whether you were completely in love and can't imagine living your life without them or not. I think it's especially hard for Bella because of the impact he had on her because of the shock that he's a vampire and because they fell in love.

New Moon #1 (1-94)

In the beginning of New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, the Cullens leave Forks and Bella becomes closer to Jacob Black. A quote that I really found interesting in this section was after the Cullens left and Bella finally thought that she could live without Edward. She thinks, "Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me" (93). Bella really takes Edward leaving very hard even though she has Charlie, her father, and her new friend Jacob. Jacob has a huge crush on Bella and she doesn't even care. All Bella does is mope around and miss Edward. The idea of time is much more sensitive to her than it might be to other people, since Edward is immortal. She's so afraid of aging and becoming older than him and she desperately wants to become a vampire so she can be with him forever.

New Moon Reflection

For fourth quarter, I decided to read New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. I’ve never read Twilight, I just saw the movie and I thought it was really better than I expected it was going to be. Everyone says that the books are so much better, and that the movies don’t even compare, so I decided that I would just start with the second one. Also, my mom and I were thinking that we would read it together, so we both got copies. I got the book on Monday, and I'm already half way through the book even though I thought it was going to take me forever since it's so thick. It's actually a surprisingly fast read and I'm really enjoying it, and I'm really excited to read and Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
