Twilight New Moon pgs. 550-562 (end of book)
The "rulers" let them all go because Alice and Edward are both very gifted vampires. The only condition is that Edward must turn Bella into a vampire by the next he sees the "rulers." He agrees but tells Bella he won't do it. She wants to be a vampire with him though. He's always so selfish only doing what he wants, but if he turned Bella into a vampire no one could harm her. She doesn't get much closure on the situation, and she dreads going home and telling Jacob that she's with Edward.
Twilight New Moon pgs. 500-550
Bella and Alice take a plane to a city called Volterra located in Europe and inhabited by vampires. Edward's plan is to make the "rulers" of the vampires angry by revealing himself to the humans. He wants to die. Again I hate how impulsive Edward is! he's stupid for leaving Bella and for trying to kill himself. He should at least make sure she's actually dead.
I understand that Bella loves him, but I don't know if I would go after someone who treated me so awful. I don't think I could leave Jacob behind without an explanation.
Bella convinces Edward she is still alive but it is too late. He has already revealed himself. Now not only has he put himself in danger, but he's also put Bella in danger. He thought leaving would keep her safe?? Bella, Alice, and Edward all are summoned to see the "rulers."

Twilight New Moon pgs. 450-500
Bella has a dream of Romeo and Juliette. When she wakes up she ponders what Juliette would do if Romeo had lost interest in her. She applies it to her situation with Edward and feels sad again. She begins to compare her love for Jacob and Edward and she realizes that she does love Jacob but not in the way she loved Edward.
Bella and Jacob are in the car on the way back to her house when Jacob begins to shake. Bella asks him what is wrong and he says that he can smell a vampire. When they reach Bella's street she sees Carlisle's car and begins running to her house in hopes that Edward may be there. Jacob follows. Bella goes inside to find Alice. Alice explains that she saw a vision of Bella dying (obviously it was not true). Alice tells Bella that Edward believes that Bella is dead so he plans to kill himself. Bella and Alice leave Jacob behind to go find Edward.

Twilight New Moon pgs. 400-450
Bella learns more about what it's like to be a wolf. Wolves are warm blooded unlike vampires who are as cold as ice. When they lose their temper they transform into their wolf selves. They can hear eachothers thoughts while they are in wolf form, and communicate this way. They stop aging for as long as they are wolves. They can only stop being wolves when the vampires leave the land. They imprint on their life partners. When they see their soul mate they instantly are aware of it. Jacob explains that the worst part of being a wolf is feeling out of control. He says he feels like a monster sometimes. When Jacob speaks about imprinting on his soul mate it's apparent that he believes that he is in love with Bella but again she plays with his heart.
Twilight New Moon pgs. 350-400
The wolves continue to hunt the vampire that is out to get Bella. The vampire, Victoria, wants revenge on Edward for killing her lover so she plots to kill his. I'm so angry at Edward now. He left Bella defenseless to Victoria. Jacob is the only one there to pick up the pieces. Bella will eventually have to make about whether or not she wants to be with Jacob. I hope she chooses to be with him because he seems so sincere. I believe he honestly cares about her, and he's way less drama than moody Edward. Edward was way too selfish.
Bella in a way is leading Jacob on. She should tell him if she just wants to be friends, but she instead holds his hand. They act like a couple but it's apparent that if Edward came back she'd take him back in a heart beat. She's using Jacob for protection and to fill the void of her loss.

In this chapter Bella finds out that Jacob is a wolf. This is why he's been acting so strange. She warns Jacob that her father is hunting for wolves along with the rest of the police. Bella feels like she's pulled in two directions. She's learned to love the vampires, but Jacob is trained to kill them. Bella is disgusted with Jacob at first because she believes that he is hunting humans, but he is actually hunting the vampires that are killing the humans. I feel like it's really hypocritical for Bella to be upset with Jacob when she was friends with vampires for so long. Jacob tells Bella that he and the pack killed the vampire Laurent who previously tried to attack her. Bella knows there is a vampire out to get her. Jacob promises to protect both her and her father. I already like Jacob more than Edward. He's loyal and protective of Bella. He would never leave her like Edward did so selfishly.
Graphite Drawings
These are graphite drawings, but they look like they could be tattoos to me. I really like the shading and value range of the pencil.

Twilight New Moon pgs. 250-300
Jacob is very forceful with Bella. He is too aggressive in the way that he goes about trying to date her. I find this to be a turn off. Bella just wants someone there for her, but Jacob can't grasp that. Jacob should lay off for a while.
He starts acting very strange. He stops returning calls and Bella never sees him. She shows up at his house but his father sends her home...

Bella starts hanging out with Jacob. Even her father can see that he fills the empty void in her. Bella and Jacob start to form a relationship. I'm kind of mad at Bella...she's definitely leading him on. Jacob is a sophmore while she's a senior. She shouldn't play with a younger boy's feelings just because she is hurt herself. She makes it apparent that she doesn't want a relationship, but the false hope leaves Jacob elated.
Twilight New Moon pgs. 150-200
Bella decides to start making more of an effort to be happy.. for her father's sake. She starts shopping with friends. I find that this is selfless of Bella.
Bella realizes that by doing dangerous things she hears Edwards voice in her head warning her. Seeing as this is the only way for her to see Edward she decides to become an adrenaline junky. It's as if at this point in the book Bella is so miserable that even her life is worth losing just to hold on to a memory of Edward.

Bella shuns all of her friends. Her father thinks that maybe she should get out of town for a while and live with her mother. Bella reuses to go though because leaving forks would mean leaving the last thing she has tying her to Edward. I feel awful for her dad. It must be so difficult as a parent to see his child suffering and not being able to fix it. I would hate Edward if I were him.
Twilight New Moon pgs. 50-100
Edward dumps Bella in the forest. She gets lost trying to find him, and falls asleep. She wakes up in the arms of one of her father's friends who has been looking for her. After being questioned by her father Bella runs to her room to find anything that may remind her of Edward but as he said "everything that reminds you of me will be gone." I'm so angry with Edward at this point in the story. He literally dumps her out of nowhere and then takes her belongings. what a selfish person. It's hard to see why he thinks he's doing her a favor...
She begins missing school, and is depressed for months on end.

Twilight New Moon pgs. 1-50
The book starts off with a dream Bella is having. She sees herself as an old lady standing next to Edward who is still young and beautiful. I believe that in Bella's dream the theme of youth is very noticeable. Bella is obviously worried that because she is not a vampire that she will grow old while her love, Edward, will not. Everyone wishes they could stay forever young.
Bella wakes up to her birthday! She goes over to the Cullen's home to celebrate. While she's there she collides with shattering glass which slices her arms up. The vampires all go into attack mode except for Carlisle who patches her up. What a downer on her birthday? Edward decides that he is only putting her in danger and leaves her in the next chapter. I find Edward to be very selfish. He leaves Bella because he thinks he is doing what's best for her but if he would listen to her he would be able to see that she's dying without him.
