Free Choice

                                                   Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

     The book that I'm reading right now is Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. My questions about this book are: how would this series have changed, if Bella hadn't moved to Forks, Washington, what would have happened to her? Where would Edward be?
     I think that the answers to my questions are: if Bella hadn't moved to Forks, then I think that she would've ended up traveling with her Mom and her Mom's boyfriend and I think that she would've found someone in the traveling. I also think, that she wouldn't have opened up as much as she has in the series-from Twilight to Breaking Dawn-without meeting Edward. To answer my other question, I think that Edward would've kept looking until he did find the girl that he was meant to be with. I think that eventually, since he wouldn't have found "his girl", that he would end up becoming a non-vegetarian (he only drinks animal blood, so they-the Cullen's-consider themselves vegetarians,) because he couldn't live without her.
      So, overall I think that Bella would eventually find someone, but Edward would continue to look even though she was never coming. So he'd eventually become a human blood-drinking vampire. It would definitely be a VERY different end to the book series.

The Hero of My Book

                                                      Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

     The hero of the book that I am reading right now, which is Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, is Edward Cullen. He is the hero because of the qualities that he possesses that make him the hero which are: he's reluctant, he's innocent, he's willing and he's a warrior.
     These qualities make Edward a warrior because when you think of a hero-or at least when I think of a hero-i think of someone that doesn't want to admit that they're the hero or that they've done something to save many of people. (Reluctant.) Also, the hero is usually innocent or seems and acts that way. The hero is more often than not willing to do anything to save someone(s). Finally, hero's are warriors, because of what they do for the people of their community and around the world! They fight for them, they help them and most of all, they usually win for them. Edward is reluctant because he refuses to admit that even though he thinks he's the Bad guy," he's been helping Bella all along. He's acts innocent, by in some parts of the story-the way that Stephenie Meyer has written it-he acts like there's not a care in the world. Like everything is OK. He's willing because even though it kills him to see Bella in pain, he changes her (into a vampire) so she's not in pain. He was willing to change her, even though he was dead set against it in the beginning of the series. Edward is a warrior, because he fights for Bella-sometimes literally-so that she can be happy. Also, he fights (in Eclipse,) Victoria to protect Bella, because Victoria was trying to kill Bella so Edward could feel the pain she felt when James (Victoria's partner who Edward killed in Twilight,) died by taking Bella away from Edward. He fought for Bella-and partly for himself-so Bella could live.
     My proof of this is this quote from Breaking Dawn, " "Take the baby," Edward said urgently. "Throw it out the window." One. Two. Three. Four. "Give her to me," a low voice chimed from the doorway. Edward and I snarled at the same time. One. Two. Three. Four. "I've got it under control," Rosalie promised."(page.354 Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.) This quote shows that Edward is a hero, because he's being the warrior because he's fighting for Bella (by helping her start to breath again,) and he's making sure that Renesmee (Bella's new baby,) is safe and not in harms way.

     I selected this photo, because it shows that Edward wants to protect Bella, and that he cares about her and wants to keep her safe.

Character Archetypes

      
     I am reading the book Breaking Dawn by Stephine Meyer. I am just past half way in the book, so I have a good idea of the character and what he (Edward's character) is like.

     Edward Cullen, I find is the hero of this book set (to Bella.) So, I think that he is a warrior, he can be innocent, he changes and grows, he's willing and adventurous, and he's reluctant.

     He's a warrior, because he fights for Bella even if everyone else is telling him that it's impossible or he wont be able to save her.
Edward is innocent because (sometimes) he just acts like there's not a care in the world, like nothing that could happen would break him.
In the Twilight saga, he changes and grows but in Breaking Dawn especially he changes and grows. I say this because, at the beginning of the book he was so dead set against turning Bella into a vampire, even though that's what she wanted. In the end, he did end up turning Bella, maybe not the way that he would've wanted her to be changed, but he did it anyway. This is also how he grows in the book, he becomes more laid back after Bella is a vampire, and see's that it wasn't such a bad choice.
Edward is willing and adventurous, because he was willing to change Bella-even though he was kind of forced to since she was dying-and adventurous just because of all the places that he's been as a vampire.
Finally, Edward is reluctant, because he's not willing to admit that he's the right person for Bella.That he is perfect for her. At the end though, he realizes that all along he was perfect for her and always would be.

          If I could dream at all, it would be about you and I'm not ashamed of it.-Edward Cullen
