For this blog I have chosen a few quotes from the section I have read, and I am going to reflect on them. I will reflect on them regarding the book, by making connections with other books, and making connections to my own life.
The first quote I have chosen is:
“There were too many of us for the kitchen table, so Charlie and Harry brought chairs out to the yard, and we ate spaghetti off plated on our laps(pg.149).”
In this quote what I really like is this the imagery. It shows how familyish, and close the people in Bella’s town really are. It reminds me of my family and sitting together with all of them.
The second quote I have chosen is:
“I giggled quietly. The sound made my eyes widen in wonder. I was laughing, actually laughing, and there wasn’t even anyone watching. I felt so weightless that I laughed again, just to make the feeling last longer (pg. 141).”
This quote reminds me so much of teenage girls falling in love. Almost every teen novel I have ever read has had the image of a girl who seems to just be “floating” through her life because she is so happy. Although Bella is not in love, she still had caught that bug of teenage girl happiness. After this point in the book everything starts to change for Bella, and things start to become brighter- this is also a very good thing.

Lin, I can totally see how the second quote reminded you of falling in love! It's like when you fall in love, everything disappears and that one person, can make everything better. Crazy to think about. I think a lot of people, even at our age have found someone like that, whether it's a boyfriend, best friend, or someone else. You can't put an age on love and that weightlessness should be something that everyone strives for. What's your take?
