Q2 BLOG 5

I had finished the book, Speak a few weeks ago, and don't have much else to say about the book, therefore I will now blog about another book I am reading. I am reading the sequel to the book Twilight written by Stephenie Meyer. The book is called New Moon.
Bella is still the main character with Edward by her side. Edward is a vampire who looks after Bella, trying to keep her out of trouble because she is mortal and he is not. They are in love and while Bella wishes to become a vampire like Edward, Edward wants Bella to live her teenage years as a human, because Edward believes a soul becomes lost once you turn into a vampire. Because Edward thinks by him loving Bella, he has done too much damage to Bella's life, he decides to leave Forks, and flee to somewhere else with his family. The abrupt way of telling Bella the news left her shocked, as she stumbled through the forest trying to catch up with Edward. Edward had always been there for her, and she thought they would be together forever. She shuddered when Edward told her "It will be as if I never existed" (pg 71). Edward had wanted a clean break, thinking it would be easier for Bella to handle. When Edward had left, he took with him pictures of him, his love, and security that always brought comfort to Bella. Edward believed “Time heals all wounds for your kind” (pg 72). None the less, it was hard for Bella living without Edward, and Bella began to lose herself, creating a distance with everyone else left in her life.
