I just finished reading Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. This book was very interesting and is very captivating. Bella has to make quite a few important decisions that will affect her life more than she's imagined. But it's okay to say that decisions don't come easily to Bella. Nobody said that those decisions wouldn't hurt some of the people she cared the most deeply about.
The first decision Bella has to make is if she wants to become a vampire or not. It's actually not that hard for her to decide because if she becomes a vampire, she can be with Edward for as long as they live. But then again, for her to become a vampire will be very painful for a few weeks. Bella is so willing to make things work for her and Edward that she's overlooking the factor of enjoying human things. I think that to give up the gift of life, you must have a lot of determination. Bella feels so strongly bout her love for Edward that she's willing to become a vampire just so they can be together. It takes a lot of courage to change yourself for the benefit or others. It's almost as if you're going to be entering new territory. Also, adjusting to a whole new life, or actually a new WAY of life, is going to take a lot of work and energy. Devoting yourself to change for the sake of love is kind of far-fetched but its understandable
. Another decision that Bella has to make is, sadly, if she wants to be with Jacob or Edward. I felt like she should have chosen Jacob even though she's been through more with Edward. But the gain, Edward hasn't done anything wrong. To choose between two people you love you more than you can imagine is heart breaking. It hurts the rejected person. It's hard not to feel bad for Jacob because he was just so ready to fulfill anything Bella wanted done. He was willing to give up his life for her. He truly loves her but it's wrong that she can't love him back the way he wants her to. It's not that Bella doesn't wish to have him. It's just that with Edward in the picture, there's no way for the relationship between Jacob and Bella to work out. Once Bella becomes a vampire, she can't really have a great relationship with Jacob because he's a werewolf.
Making choices isn't always easy. It can hurt tho you love. But it's OK because people get over it and realize that you chose what you think is right for you. Nothing should stop you from being happy with the person you truly love.
Great post! You made the book sound really interesting! I can definitely relate Bella swan to the main character of my book (Hannah ward). Both girls are willing to give up their lives for something they love so much (in Hannah's case, ballet). Also, both girls have very difficult discisions to make. For Bella, her every day life vs Edward, and ballet vs college and a normal life for Hannah!
