Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer p. 35-64
Over the past week, I have read chapter two of the book Eclipse, in which not too much happens. Because Charlie told Bella that she needed to do things with friends other than Edward, Bella makes plans with Angela to help her address her graduation party announcements, which pleases Charlie very much. Alice also wants to do something with Bella because she isn't grounded anymore, but hasn't quite decided what she wants to do. Back in the book New Moon Bella recieved two ticket vouchers to Florida for her birthday to visit her mom, from Carlisle and Esme, but she hasn't used them yet and they are about to expire. Edward asks if she wants to go this weekend with him, but Bella declines and says that she doesn't want to make Charlie mad, since he just let her free. But Edward doesn't listen, and brings up the topic to Charlie himself. This makes both Bella and Charlie furious. So Bella decides to go with Edward to his house and hang out for a little while. When she comes back, Charlie wants to have the "sex talk" with Bella. Bella pretty much tells Charlie that she has talked about it with her mom. But Charlie won't have it, so Bella tells him that she is a virgin, and has no plans of letting that go in the near future. This shuts Charlie up, and he is content. But Bella decides that she wants to go to visit Jacob. But when she gets in her car, Edward is their to stop her. He says that Alice saw her disapear from her visions, and because Alice can't see werewolves, he knew that Bella was going to see Jacob. Bella is mad at Edward, becuase she really wants to see Jacob. Bella goes up to her room and at first she closed her window so that Edward couldn't get in during the night, but then she decided to leave it open.

All My Sons - The Movie
In school recently, we read the play All My Sons by Arthur Miller. It was a good book, short and sweet. Right before Christmas break, we watched to movie version of All My Sons. Watching the movie was very helpful, because we got to see the play in action, instead of imagining it in our head as we read along. We already knew the plot of the book, so the oh-so-shocking ending wasn't so shocking to us, but it didn't matter. It was still extremely helpful to watch it, plus it's fun to watch movies in school!

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer p. 1-34
I started the second-to-last book in the Twilight series (so far), called Eclipse. The book started out with Bella and Charlie eating dinner. Bella had just received a note from Jacob, and it was obvious that he is still mad at her, so Bella wasn't in such a good mood. Bella has been grounded since she disappeared for three days and going to Italy to save Edward, but she obviously didn't tell this to Charlie. But Bella has been sending/receiving letters back and forth to Jacob, and since she has been acting really good lately, Charlie decided to "free" Bella, so she isn't grounded anymore. But, Charlie doesn't want all of Bella's time to go to Edward and his family, he want's Bella to make friends with other people and spend time with them too, especially Jacob. Bella also found out that she got accepted to the University of Alaska Southeast, which both Bella and Charlie were happy about. Edward arrived shortly after, as he comes over every night around 7:30. Charlie and Edward are on speaking terms, but not much else, as Charlie is still really mad at Edward. Charlie brought up the subject of college to Edward, and he also got accepted to the University of Alaska Southeast that day as well, along with Harvard, and Dartmouth to name a few. Charlie soon left the kitchen to go watch the football game on TV. Edward brought over a few college applications for Bella, which included Dartmouth. Edward also told Bella that more and more people have been getting killed in Forks lately, and that she needs to keep herself very safe, and be on guard all the time. Edward was going to do his best to find Victoria and get rid of her once and for all.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer p. 537-563
Well I am finally finished with New Moon! I left off with Bella winning the vote to become a vampire. Bella then made a deal with Edward that she wouldn't turn into a vampire until she finished high school, and moved out of Charlie's house. Bella agreed, since graduation was only a couple months away. Edward then took Bella back to her house, and asked her what her number one wish would be, besides becoming a vampire. Bella said having Edward turn her into a vampire. Edward said that would only happen on one condition..Bella would have to marry him. Bella was shocked, and thought it was a joke, but he was serious. But that got interrupted when Charlie walked into Bella's room - luckily Edward has quick reflexes and hid in the closet. Charlie said that Bella was in BIG trouble, and demanded a reason why she left. Bella really didn't have a good excuse, and Charlie blamed Edward. But Bella threatened to move out, and Charlie didn't want that, so he agreed that Edward could come over. A couple of months later, Edward and Bella were pulling up to her house, when they say Jacob's truck and Bella's motorcycle in the driveway. Bella was so mad, and knew that Charlie would be furious with her (as if he wasn't already). Bella and Edward met Jacob in the woods, and it turned out that Jacob did it so that Bella would be grounded and couldn't see Edward anymore. Bella explained to Edward that she already was grounded, but still had visitation hours with Edward. Jacob was so sorry for what he did. Edward then tried to make ammends with Jacob, and said thanks for keeping Bella alive while he was away. They heard Charlie screaming for Bella in the backround, and knew they had to go soon. Just before they left, Jacob reminded Edward and Bella about a specific rule in the treaty. That if any vamire where to even bite a human, the truce would be over. Bella was shocked and startled. Her and Edward then started on their way back to Charlies.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer p. 424-536
This weekend I have read chapters nineteen through twenty-three and am in the middle of chapter twenty-four, and am just about done with the book. Bella and Alice arrived safely in Italy, and had to race to get to Edward. Alice had seen a vision that Edward was going to step into the sun in front of the whole town at noon, Edward would then be killed for showing that he was a vampire. Alice and Bella made it to the town, and Bella found Edward right at the stroke of noon. But they then had to talk to the Volterra to see what their punishment would be. The Volterra was a group of Vampires, and they killed tourists and fed off of them. Bella was lucky, and didn't get eaten. But they said that they would check up on her, and that she must become a vampire some day. Bella was happy about this idea, because she has always wanted to become a vampire. Edward, Bella, and Alice then went home. Charlie was furious with Edward, but Bella was too tired to fight it. Bella then slep for 14 hours, and when she woke up in the early morning Edward was in her room. They basically told eachother that they couldn't live without eachother, and Edward promised never to leave Bella ever again. Edward did not want to turn Bella into a vampire, and said that is wasn't the life she wanted. But Bella refused to listen to him, and decided to take a vote with the Cullen family. Bella won, and is so exiced that she will turn into a vampire soon. But Edward is FURIOUS! This is where I left off in chapter 24.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer p. 363-423
Since I blogged last I have read chapters sixteen, seventeen & eighteen. Bella has to stay in La Push whenever she isn't at school or work because of Victoria, and Jacob is with his pack everyday to try and protect Bella, and find Victoria. So Bella is by herself a lot, so one day when she was wandering on the beach she remembered that Jake had promised to go cliff diving someday. Bella decided that she would just go then, and that it couldn't be that hard. So Bella was about to jump off the cliff, when she heard Edward's voice telling her not to do it, but she ignored it; she jumped anyway. Bella almost drowned, she was underwater for almost a minute, and Edward's voice was with her the whole time. Jake ended up rescuing her, and was so mad at Bella. Bella wanted to go home, and was ashamed of her actions. When Bella got home, she saw Carlisle's car outside her house. Bella couldn't believe it, and Jake was not happy at all, he stormed off and left Bella. (werewolves and vampires are enemies) Alice was waiting in the house. Alice was so shocked to see Bella, and it turns out that Alice came back to Forks because she saw Bella jumping off the cliff, and saw her drown. So Alice was shocked to see Bella. Bella begged Alice to stay, she didn't know if she could handle leaving them again. Charlie was fine with Alice staying, and liked her a lot. The next day, Alice found out that Rosalie had told Edward that Bella had died. Edwad was on his was to Italy, and he planned to kill himself. The only thing Bella could do was go with Alice to Italy to try and find him, but this had serious risks, because they could be killed while they were over their as well. Bella decided to go, and only left a note for Charlie trying to explain things, she also told Jacob to take care of Charlie.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer p. 225-362
The past couple of days I have read chapters ten through fifteen in the book New Moon. In chapter ten, Jacob never called Bella when he got home. Bella tried to call Billy, Jake's dad but he would either say that Jake was busy, or he wouldn't answer. Bella was getting really depressed because she relied on Jacob to take her mind off of Edward. Bella decided to go to the meadow where she was Edward in the sun. Surprisingly, Bella didn't get lost, but while she was their she ran into Laurent. His eyes were red, which meant that he was thirsty for human blood, which mean that he was going to kill Bella. But all of a sudden, four humongous wolves came and they scared Laurent away, but didn't touch, or even look at Bella. Bella ran back to her car, so that she could return to safety. After a week without hearing from Jake, Bella decided to go to his house. When she got their, she talked to Jacob and he got extremely mad at her for coming there and told her to leave. Bella left, and ended up crying herself to sleep, she had just lost her best friend. That night she heard noises outside her window, and was extremely terrified that it was Victoria. But it wasn't, it was Jacob. He apologized to Bella, but couldn't tell her the real reason for what was going on, she would have to figure it out herself. Bella figured it out, and returned to La Push, Jacob's territory where he lives, the next morning. Bella figured out that Jake and his friends were werewolves.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer p. 181-224
Since my last blog I have read chapters eight and nine of New Moon. In chapter eight, Bella goes on her motorcycle for the first time, and as you can probably guess, it didn't end up well. Jacob didn't teach Bella how to brake, so she fell over and cut her head. Bella ended up having to go to the hospital, but she didn't want Charlie to know, so they had to make up a story to cover up their tracks, which Charlie of course bought. But the weird thing is that when Bella was riding the motorcycle, she heard Edwards voice telling her to stop it. This just made Bella want to ride more, so she could hear his voice, so of course the next day she got right back on her motorcycle. In chapter ten, Bella feels bad for letting Mike down when he asked her to a movie last weekend and she turned him down. So she decided to get all of their friends together to see a movie, to kind of make up for it, Bella also invited Jacob along. But it turned out that everyone had plans, except for Mike and Jacob and two others. But at the last minute the other two got sick with the flu and couldn't come. Mike and Jake do not get along that well, and the night ended horribly. Mike ended up getting sick, and threw up in the bathroom. They immediately drove him home, but then Jake started feeling sick, so he left soon too. But Bella made him promise that he would call when he got home, because he was driving himself.
