My Current Readings #2

I've read into further chapters in the book now, still in the beginning though, i do admit. After Bella was needing to get over the age problem that was so apparent to her, and only her it seemed. Bella did end up going to the Cullens house that evening of her birthday. Presents, cake, napkins and silverware were all set up for Bella. During the opening of a card, she sliced her finger and had gotten a paper cut. The scent of this immediately flew through the air, every friend of hers in the room now a raging vampire. Jasper ended up pouncing onto Bella which made her fall onto a glass table and caused all of the decorations and birthday setups to be dispersed all over the room. The fall also included Bella's arm being gouged by the glass table, small shatters of glass were in her arm. The father, Dr. Cullen advised everybody to go outside. Dr. Cullen got Bella and began to clean her up. The two talked for quite some time, Bella trying to ignore the pain throughout the conversation. Although Bella did gain some knowledge from this conversation with Edwards "dad." What she was told was that Edward's mother became very ill when he was still a baby, Edward was ill as well. Soon enough the mother passed, but her last words were to Dr. Cullen and they were to save her son. Those three words said enough to the Dr. and he did just that, the only way being to turn Edward into a vampire. Edward reentered the room after some time had passed and then drove Bella home. Edward was beginning to realize that no matter how much he wanted to protect Bella, she kept getting hurt. It seems as though Edward is beginning to become uncomfortable with all of the situations Bella has been put in because of being with Edward. He remains very silent during the car ride. I think that's what he's starting to realize and i also think Bella is catching on because she is always reassuring him that she is very unlucky and clumsy. Let's see where this takes us for next time!!

My Current Readings #1

I have just started the book New Moon, one of the Twilight series, written by Stephenie Meyer. This book is the second one of the Twilight series. It starts off normal, Bella is with Edward on a regular daily basis, and the entire town is used-to and okay with it. The time comes where Bella's birthday is arriving. She specifically tells her family and Edward, that she will not have it with presents this year, this was her birthday wish. Nobody granted Bella's 18th birthday wish. Bella's birthday came and all she wanted to do was hide. Her father, Charlie, got her a new camera. He said that he knew her mom would love it if she would get some good shots of her because she wants to see photographs of her daughter. The mother is living in Florida with her new husband, by the way. Bella arrives at school, hoping for nobody's attention and no birthday celebration songs or hugs. She gets out of her car and speeds towards the school doors, only to get a few feet away from her car until she is stopped by Edward, and his family. She is rushed to where the Cullen's car is parked and is mobbed by happy birthday wishes. Bella tries to be appreciative but she just doesn't want to grow up. The reason being, Edward will never grow up, and that makes her not want to either. It forces her to think about the age that is going to grow between them. Edward, unlike Bella, is extremely excited for this birthday celebration because in reality, the Cullens very rarely have birthday's to celebrate. I think this is okay for Bella to act in such ways, I wouldn't want to grow apart from Edward in age either. The one thing i do not like is how Bella handles all the attention. She really should act much more appreciative of her friends and boyfriend wanting to make her day so special. It shows how much they love her and she will just not realize it. 

Q4- My Current Readings Reflection why i chose this book

For my quarter four outside reading book I have chosen to read the book titled New Moon written by Stephenie Meyer. This book is the second of the Twilight series. A reason that I have chosen to read this book is because I read the first book, Twilight over winter break and I loved it, but I haven’t gotten a chance to start the second. There are also two more books after I read the second, so I have a ways to go yet. This book interests me because the characters from the first book are still in it and their relationships are going to grow, or not grow in the second book, so I need to read it to find out. From the first book the relationships were so real and I have only imagined what they continued to be in the following books, so I am very excited to find out what actually happens in the next books. Stephenie Meyer is a fantastic writer in my opinion, I’ve never enjoyed a book so much as I enjoyed her first of the well-know series, Twilight. I’m really looking forward to the book also because I will read it with a more knowledgeable sense. I saw the movie Twilight and now I have faces to put to the names the next time I read and I understand the characters much more than I did going into the first book. I feel like I’ll really be able to understand and enjoy the last three books!
