My Current Readings #3
In the book Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer, i am still being held to suspicion. Edward and Bella's conversations have turned into a daily routine. I'm starting to believe she's falling for him. In the latest section i've read in my book there was a catastrophe. Bella was walking to her car after school and a boy was backing out of his parking spot and was this close to hitting Bella. How'd she not get injured in any way we wonder? Edward. Edward witnessed the about to be accident and somehow managed to get to Bella just in time to move her and hold the car back. Who has enough strength to hold back a car? Bella was furious in her confusion of what happened. Something was mysterious about Edward. He played it off as if he watched the accident from a near distance and happened to be there, when Bella really knew he was at the other end of the lot and in record speed got to her side. Now if i were to be in Bella's situation for this part of the book i would have put all the so to say, "different" things about Edward in a cluster in my mind and dwelled on it. All these strange things seemed to be adding up and something had to be done, i would think to myself. If i were Bella I'd sit beautiful, life saving Edward down and have a talk. Make him tell me what is going on with him. I'm curious as to see what Bella's reaction to this is.

Sounds like a good book. If I ever find time I might read it.
Ah Kel I hear so much about Twilight! It really sounds good and suspenseful. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! I hope i can find time to look at It and even read it!
Hi Kelly,
My name is Rick Filipkowski and I am a student at the University of Minnesota in the English teacher preparation program. In other words, I'm a future English teacher "in training." As part of one of my classes on literacy, my instructor has asked us to make some comments on your blog postings. So, if you see my name on your stuff, don't be alarmed :)

This sounds like a very interesting story, Kelly. I'll admit, I haven't read the book, so perhaps the author answers some of these questions that I am about to pose to you. Either way, based on what you have written about the character Edward, I have a few questions for you.
So what do you think the deal with Edward is? I see in your post that you question what he is / is all about, but you don't come right out and make any conclusions. Does he have some kind of super-powers? Is that how he was able to spring over to Bella in record time and hold back the car?
Also, you mention that if you were Bella, you would sit Edward down and demand he tell you what is going on. You then state that you're curious about Bella's reaction will be. My question is this: actually place yourself in Bella's shoes as you say "if I were Bella." Depending on the secret / what is really going on with Edward, how would you react? Why?

Thanks for your time Kelly. Nice to meet you, and I look forward to blogging with you.
Kelly, I noticed that another student (Kari, that's all of the information that I have), posted a discussion about this same part of the book (Edward saving Bella). If you know Kari and / or she is in your class, you might find it beneficial to talk with her about her interpretation of this section and what she thinks is going on.
-Does she share your suspicion? According to her posting, she does not seem as suspicious of Edward as you. Why do you think this is? If you feel inclined, ask her :)
-You mentioned that you would sit Edward down, confront him, and demand that he let you know what's going on. Kari did not mention a similar course of action in her post. However, do you think she feels the same based on this section? Why or why not?
Like I said, seeing as how you both commented on the same event in the story, a fruitful discussion might come out of talking about it together.
