I think it’s sad that her dreams are now just finding no one, because she doesn’t see him anymore.

I think if I had been in pain and trying to get over someone and we both made a promise but he didn’t keep his, I would reach that. The conclusion she comes to does actually make a lot of sense. Her thought process is not all over the place but fits how things are going.

I wouldn’t have changed anything.

You hear about the wolves from the campers, also I think you see what Jacob would do to spend time with Bella.

Quote
I really like the quote you have and for those reasons, but I also like this that goes along with it:

‘To be reckless in Forks would take a lot of creativity—maybe more than I had. But I wished I could find some way… I might feel better if I weren’t holding fast, all alone, to a broken pact.’
p.125

I think this also brings in more, plus it shows that, at least the way Bella saw it, that she was the one holding onto the love, they both weren’t split apart with both loving each other, for Bella she thought it was just her. So being reckless allowed her to also be more free.

Chapter Five Song: She’s A Rebel by Green Day
I really like your description about this, because Bella is able grow and really discover more of herself. And this goes into Eclispe when Bella realizes that there is Jacob’s Bella and Edward’s Bella. Two different and yet the same. This is where it started.

Book To Movie
I was fine that they skipped over most of it. The didn’t have her at the Newtons, instead you hear stuff about the wolves here and there. Her going and saving the bikes and then bringing them to Jake really worked well. You can see how happy Jacob is and how he would be up for anything she suggests.

I thought they did a great job at this chapter in the movie, they showed the essentials and still was able to transition it.

I do love how they had Bella see Edward, that was really cool. I think they did a good job with that.

Chapter 6
I really liked this chapter. Even though it’s hard Bella is moving forward. She’s now a different person, and yet still very much the same.

Her dreams are quite interesting, but I think they work quite well.

Jacob doesn’t know the full extent because he doesn’t know how deep the feelings run that Bella has for Edward, but he does know that she is broken, so he’s ready to wait and help her heal. Bella could tell that he liked her, but she specified the ‘friends’ thing, but she couldn’t hurt him. Being in a relationship like that is hard, and she didn’t want to hurt him or loose him. She was being selfish and yet…he wouldn’t have let her leave, because he wanted her around.

I actually love how they’re not all forgiving and willing to bring her back into their lives. Mike and Angela are which make sense, and I love how easily they let her do it.

I wouldn’t have changed anything, it really was quite well done.

You see more of the wolves and this time someone she knows sees them. The age game comes up, so that’s quite cool.

Quote
Actually that would be the quote I choose. When reading the book the first time, it was completely depressing when Edward left, and then there was Jacob. I loved when he came, and he really was a sun. It does describe their friendship and it fits it perfectly.

Music
Great song choice, I think it fits the theme of the chapter quite well.

Book To Movie
They really did keep in this chapter in the movie. I love Quil and Embry showing up and teasing, and then having Bella stick up for Jake. It was cool and you could see their friendship. I love how they showed the time spent fixing the bikes with the song Shooting the Moon. I think it’s really good because the song is about not wanting to disappoint, and having to lie, and it’s about something really big, but going on with life type thing. I think it works quite well.

I love how the age game was put in, I loved that part in the book and I assumed it would be left out, so I was really pleased to discover that it was still in the movie. We don’t see them going out and shopping, but I like how they overlayed her writing E-Mails to Alice.

Showing her connecting with her friends again was really well done. I love how you see her enter the cafeteria and start for the Cullens table and then her hesistation before she changes and goes to her friends’ table. Her speaking up for Angela when Eric and Jessica are doubting Angela, shows hers’ and Angela’s connection. I love how Mike welcomes her back, that protein line is hilarious. And then him asking her out…followed by her making it a group thing. Jessica’s response was hilarious.

They did leave out the dinner at the Black’s house, and it was sad, but at the same time I think it did still keep true to the story.

I thought they did a great job at bringing this chapter to film.

Outtakes
I loved this outtake, just another example of how Edward still loved her, he was still looking out for her. I love Bella’s responses to it.
