Reading Journal 24: Cyrano de Bergerac

Quote: "Yes. Your hand to kiss."

Question: Why does Cyrano attract girls?

Comment: I am extremely confused at how flattered the lady is when Cyrano flirts with hr because he is supposed to be an extremely un-attractive male. Why then, do girls get flattered by him? Maybe the lady is also unfortunate looking and has never been noticed and that's the reason she is soo flattered by Cyrano. Or maybe she was a man in disguise! Either way, she was flattered by an ugly man. ...weird.

Reading Journal 23: New Moon

Quote: "'Bella I don't want you to come with me'. He spoke the words slowly and percisely, his cold eyes on my face, watching as I absorbed what he was really saying".

Question: Why is Edward a jerk?

Comment: WOOOOOW. This is really frustrating me. I see why so many people dislike Edaward this book. I mean I kinda see why he doesn't wan Bella to go with him, because he doesn't want her to be put into any more danger because of him. But what is her life without him? And his without her? I think they should be together. But I know they will because there's a whole other 500 pages left, plus two more books! :D It all works out in the end! :)

Reading Journal 22: Twilight

Quote: "He smiled, and inclined his head slowly until his cold lips brushed against the skin just under the corner of my jaw".

Question: Why won't Edward turn Bella into a vampire?!

Comment: I am getting very frustrated at the suspense of Edward almost turning Bella into a vampire and then not doing it! Why doesn't he just do it?! I mean if he wants to be with her forever he might as well just make her imortal by turning her into what he is. If it's what Bella wants, then he should do it. AAAAHHHH!

Reading Journal 21: Twilight

Quote: "I glanced sideways at the beautiful boy, who was looking at his tray now, picking a bagel to pieces with long, pale fingers.

Question: Why were his fingers so pale?

Comment: This quote really caught my interest because of the way Bella describes what the boy is doing and the way it looks. I think its interesting that she noticed that his fingers were long and pale. That tells me that she was really ineterested in the boy and that something about him was entrigueing her into him.

Reading Journal 20: Twilight

Quote: "But at least he sent me to an empty desk at the back without introducing me to the class".

Question: What class is she in?

Comment: After reading this quote, I wonder why Bella doesn't want to be introduced to the class. I know that for me, I would want to be introduced so that people would know who I am. It makes me get the impression that her character is shy and kind of in a shell because she doesn't want people to know who she is.

Reading Journal 19: Twilight

Quote: "I would be the new girl from the big city, a curiosity, a freak."

Question: Why is she really negative?

Comment: From this quote, I get the impression that Bella thinks of herself as a "reject", or an odd ball out. Maybe this is because she was treated badly at her old school in Pheonix, and is afraid of being treated the same way at her new school. Hopefully she will give her new peers a chance at accepting her, and she won't put herself down, that way she can make friends.
