In the book, New Moon, after Bella had a serious injury at her birthday party at the Cullen's house, she cause a whole lot of trouble. The smell of her blood made Jasper go crazy and he ended up leaving with Alice. Jasper's reaction to the smell of human blood and his departure from the Cullen house lead to the break up of Bella and Edward. The Cullen family was off to go and visit with another family of vampires that also doesn't drink human blood. I didn't like the fact that the two broke up. I think that if the Cullen family has been able to get past the smell of Bella's blood and save her life once, they should be able to do it again. I also think that Edward shouldn't have broken up with her because of something Jasper did. Even though they are part of the same family, if Jasper is the one with the problem, he should be the only one that should have to go and fix it. Also, the Cullen family had to leave because of Carlisle's good looks. His young feature do not allow him to pass for the age that everyone thought he was. The family needed to start somewhere new again so that they could pass again as the young age that their faces show. This would lead to a long distance relationship between Bella and Edward, but they should work through it. That is what people or in this case vampires do when they are in love. They work it out. All in all, I didn't like the contents of this section but I still love the book.

I read the first chapter out of the novel, New Moon. In this chapter, Bella turns 18 and the Cullen family throw her a birthday party. After the long day of school, Bella and Edward go back to Bellas house to watch Romeo and Juliete. During the movie, Edward tells Bella that if anything every were to happen to her or she were to die, he would have to kill himself because he couldn't live without her in his life. When I read that, I didn't understand why Edward wouldn't just turn Bella into a vampire right then and there. If he were to turn her into a vampire, she would be able to spend forever with him and there would be no reason for the suicidal thoughts. Also, if he were to turn Bella into a vampire, she would be happy and he would be giving her all that she wanted. One thing that also bugged me about the chapter is how angery Bella was throughout the whole chapter. I understand why she is upset that she is older then Edward adn is just going to keep getting older then him but Alice and him were being nothing but nice to her and trying to give her a good birthday. And Bella was being very rude and not liking any of the attention. Other then that i thought that this chapter was very good. I also loved getting back into read the Twilight series again.
