Blog 4 New Moon Part 1

If you have not yet read New Moon or Twilight don’t read this!

New Moon is the sequel to Twilight. I personally didn’t think that it was as good, because Edward is in like 1/8 of this book. So, after letting Bella gets attacked by James, who is a tracker that is obsessed with Bella’s blood, she gets better, and causes even more problems. The first part of the book happens on her birthday. She has been invited over to Edwards’s house to celebrate with the rest of the family. While opening on of her presents, she cuts one of her fingers, which sets Jasper (the newest member to the Cullen family) on a rampage for her blood. Edward risks his life to keep Jasper off of Bella so that he doesn’t kill her. But while protecting her, he ends up throwing her onto a glass table which crashes with her getting cuts everywhere on her body. Carlisle (the “father” of the Cullen family), who is a doctor, sews her wounds up while the others try to calm Jasper. She was brought home after that exhausting night and put to bed. The next day started out bad and got even worse. She woke up knowing that it was going to be an off day because of the series of events that went on the night before. She meet Edward in the woods and he ended up telling her the worst thing that you could possibly imagine: he and his family were leaving. He thought that it would be better for her if he no longer stayed. From then on “It was as if he’d never existed”. They both knew that they still loved each other and she could not seem to understand, and then he just walked away. We meet Sam Uley, who turns out to be a more important character in the future.
