STEPHENIE SATURDAY: ‘NEW MOON’ OUTTAKE - ‘SCHOLARSHIP’
May 9th, 2009
It’s time for Stephenie Saturday again, and this week, TA Staffer Claire is bringing us an awesome outtake titled “Scholarship”. This outtake is from New Moon and according to Stephenie, it was the largest portion of the initial draft that was removed before publishing. If you’d like to compare the original to the finished version, this outtake made up the majority of the sixth chapter in New Moon, which was originally titled “Statement”. As always, at the end of the outtake we’ve included some thought provoking questions for you to consider and respond to once you’re through reading.

Ha. I think it should have been in there. The More Bella the more Edward.!!!!!! JK/
I enjoyed this outtake.
This is actually my favorite outtake from any of the books.
I enjoyed reading the ’scholarship’ outtake but I don’t think it would have worked in the book. Edward would have known that Bella would have never believed she was awarded such a “bizarre, persistent” scholarship. Edward promised her that it will be like “I never existed.” He could not keep that promise and have someone send her money every month. Bella is too realistic to have fallen for this.
