Outside Reading Blog SIX

Today I am further along in the novel Eclipse. I am starting to like Eclipse a lot less because now Jacob is interfering with the love between Edward and Bella. He keeps trying to steal Bella, and he is teasing and taunting her into kissing him, against her will. All this mess with Jacob is mixing with Bella's feelings for Edward, and this upsets me because Edward is my favorite character and he belongs with Bella, not gross werewolf Jacob. This time reminds me of choosing between hanging out with two good friends who do not get along, but you like them both for different reasons. Although Bella traditionally believed she only liked Jacob as a friend she is questioning this, this would be much like if one friend asked you to hang out with them after the first friend but they have more fun plans, so you want to hang out with them even though you shouldn't. This creates a problem for you, much like Bella although it is tempting to choose the person who asked you second you know it is right to go with the first and you love the first almost more but in a different way, this is exactly the same for Bella. She knows that a life with Jacob would be easier than with Edward but her heart belongs to Edward and she is obligated to stay with him. I really hope from the bottom of my heart that she chooses Edward. Although Twilight is a series about vampires and werewolves and totally irrational things, it is widely similar to situations and conflicts all of us face everyday.
