Quarter 2- Blog Post #4- New Moon

New Moon
Stephanie Meyer

Now that I have finished Twilight and seen the movie, I am on the New Moon! So far I have really enjoyed it but I am really going to have to get into to it more to really understand what it will be about. From my friends, I have heard that it is more action packed; yet the things that happen aren’t good. I am excited to read what will happen and about all of the events that will take place. So far, Bella has just woken up and it is her birthday. I think that her dream that she had had the night before was strange but at the same time, could be reality for her and Edward if no one turns her into a vampire. It is sad but true that she will only grow older as Edward stays the same age but they will make it work somehow. I wonder what they will do though, if no one ever changes Bella because people will start being curious about why Edward is still the same age. I definitely understand why Bella is so sad about it being her birthday but I think that she might as well make the most of her special day because it only comes once a year and she technically grows older every day and never acts like this. It is very kind of the Cullen’s to throw Bella a party and give her gifts even though she didn’t want any. The end of the chapter left off with a cliffhanger and I am excited to keep reading. I wonder what Edward and Alice had ended up giving Bella and what will happen with Jasper and that incident.

Quarter 2- Blog Post #3- Twilight

I finally finished Twilight and it was amazing!The part with James hunting Bella was so suspenseful and my favorite part of the book. I loved all of the action and adventures that took place. I am also very happy that Bella survived and wasn’t injured too badly. I do wish that Bella would tell her parents the truth of what happened, because I feel like things are much more complicated when Bella lies to them. I know that she can’t tell them that she is with vampires though. I guess I would probably do the same thing if I were in her shoes. Now that I finished the book, I am going to see the movie and I can’t wait! I just hope it will be as good as the book was if not better. I have heard great reviews though. The book continued to get better as I read it but I didn’t love the ending. I wish that Edward had taken Bella to a place that she would have actually enjoyed going to. One thing that bothers me is how Jacob Black was bribed to talk to Bella and convince her to leave Edward. I guess that it is nice that the Billy Black are looking out for her but it is annoying that he is so into her business. Overall, I loved the book and can’t wait to start New Moon.

Quarter 2- Blog Post #2- Twilight

Twilight

Twilight is getting very hard to put down now. It is very suspenseful and exciting. The visitors finally come and there is one of them who wants to kill Bella. Edward and his family are doing as much as they can to keep Bella safe and get rid of the tracker. She feels that they are doing too much for her and doesn’t really get why they are risking so much. Alice said it is because Edward has finally found someone and they don’t want him to be miserable if something happens to Bella. I am also worried about Charlie though because what Bella said to him was very mean and I’m afraid that the tracker might injure him even though Esme is keeping an eye on him. Right now if I was in Bella’s situation, I would be really scared. Waking up at a random place and not remembering getting there just freaks me out. I am also really scared to see what happens with the tracker and where he went. In Alice’s vision, it sounded it he was going to be in a really creepy place but Bella later recognizes it as the ballet studio. They finally come to a conclusion and think that he tracker is coming to Arizona since they lost track of him. There is one problem with that, that’s where Bella is. Then they get on the topic about how her mom is coming back to town and starting worrying about her meeting the tracker. So much is happening and I can’t wait to keep reading to see how it turns out between the tracker and Bella, if they even get involved together.

Every time that I sit down and read Twilight, it gets better because more is going on. Where I left off, is definitely a big cliffhanger. I can’t wait to continue to read and see what happens while the visitors are here, now that they have finally arrived. I am very happy that Bella decided to tell her dad about Edward. Even though Billy is a nice guy, it is kind of annoying that he is so into her business, but I guess that it is nice of him to care for her. I am also happy that Edward is protecting Bella and sticking by he side while the visitors are there. I am very excited to learn more about them and see why the Cullen’s worry so much about them coming. It is very cool to see Edward and Bella to continue to bond and stick with each other. I also loved how accepting the Cullen’s are of Bella and are also looking out for her when the visitors come. Since I left off with the visitors about to enter the scene, I am excited for the action to start and see how everything turns out. I am worried for Bella though, and that she will get injured in one way or another. I have no idea what to expect of the visitors other than that because of their visit, Edward will be watching Bella like a hawk. I can’t wait to read and see what will start to happen and how everything turns out.

Blog Post #7: Twilight

Twilight
Stephanie Meyer
Chapters 11- 16

Twilight has gotten so good since the last time I read. More and more of my questions are continuing to get answered. Finally the day comes when Edward and Bella hang out together. They decide not to go to Seattle anymore because it was supposed to be a sunny day. We find out that on sunny days Edward’s real appearance shows through. Instead he takes her on a hike and to a meadow. There Bella is able to see the real him. She doesn’t get scared or anything. If I were she, I would have backed out of the relationship from the beginning. I don’t know if I would want to take the chances of being in love with a vampire. Bella is a very strong person though and sticks with Edward the whole time. They confess their love to each other and he says that he always wants to be with her. I think that it is kind of sad that they are in love but he says that they can’t get married. This is because it would be too dangerous and he says he would be too scared that he might hurt her. One thing that I am curious about is what will happen once the “visitors” come. I also wonder how they could hurt Bella if Edward wasn’t with her. I am very excited to read about that and see how it will go. Twilight has been such a great book and I can’t wait to finish!

Chapters 8- 10

Since the last time that I have blogged, so much has happened. The book is definitely continuing to get better. Bella goes on the shopping trip to Port Angeles with Angela and Jessica. That turns into a very eventful night and Bella finds out so much. Bella is walking around by herself and is being stocked. Right before something bad was about to happen, Edward shows up. She gets in his car and they have a very long conversation. He pretty much reveals the he is a vampire as Bella asks him a ton of questions. I am very happy to finally know what was going on with him and that there was an explanation. As they’re talking, Edward just confesses and answers all of Bella’s questions. Everything starts to make sense to her. Even though it is confirmed that he is a vampire, she still is in love with him and doesn’t care what he is. He tells her that it is her chose to love him but he is dangerous. He admits that he likes her too and that he is always wondering about her, so he likes to stay close. One thing that I don’t get is why Bella won’t just tell her dad about Edward being apart of her life. Why does she have to hide it? Another question that I have is; has Bella been that only person that Edward Cullen has revealed his secret to? I am really curious to see what will happen next since Bella knows that he is a vampire. I just hope that she doesn’t get into any dangerous situations and she will be hurt (mentally and physically) by Edward. I have so many questions and I can’t wait to keep reading and see if they will be answered.

Twilight

Chapters 6-7

Twilight is still continuing to get better. More exciting events are occurring and things are changing. One thing that I’m happy about in the book is that the sun is actually coming out in Forks for some of the first times since Bella has been there. The sun makes Bella have better moods, which makes it more enjoyable for the reader. I am very curious about Edward Cullen though. Ever since Bella was told the myth of the vampires on the beach by Jacob Black. The description seems to fit his character but we will just have to see. I wonder what Bella will act normal around him now that she thinks that he is a vampire. I wonder if she actually will just give up on him or get herself into more danger. If I were she, I would stay away or I would have trouble believing that he actually is a vampire. There is no proof of it yet, other than what Bella had read. I also might feel differently about my attractions to him and letting him go so easily because I’m not actually Bella and really know him as a person. I also am really curious to know if Edward will return to school soon and he will go on the road trip with Bella. If he does I really want to know what will happen and if he will turn into a vampire. If he is one for sure, it explains all of the confusion about his eyes changing colors, and being able to save Bella’s life. It also is ironic how he chooses to skip biology class the day that they are pricking blood. Everything is starting to slowly come together and make sense. I can’t wait to keep reading and see how everything turns out.
