1. Each time they are in science class, Bella describes an electric-like current passing between her and Edward. What do you think this current is?
I think it's attraction. They are both very aware of each other and attracted.
2. During all the questions, we learn that the thing Edward asks the most about are books Bella has read. Why do you think he mostly asks about books?
I think that Edward is probably very well read, having come from a time where that was a major form of entertainment and enlightenment and also having a lot of time--eternity--on his hands. I think that he is trying to get into Bella's head via the discussion of the books she likes. One can get insight into another person by their choice of reading material. It can be revealing and, sometimes, surprising.
3. What type of books do you think Bella mentions?
Bella is an older soul with, perhaps, tastes somewhat in common with Edward. Austen, Bronte, Shakespeare, perhaps Dickens, Steinbeck--classic, maybe towards the romantic.
4. What was your reaction to hearing what twilight is like for vampires.
It's one of my favorite scenes actually. I think that, for Edward, twilight is a reminder of how his life is not human. Humans are freer during the day, to interact, go wherever they want. He's freer at night, but he is alone--everyone else in his family has someone to spend that time with, but not him. That's a lot of time alone. Humans sleep and dream at night--it marks the end of the day. Edward cannot sleep and night is just an extension of the day--it's endless. I love how Bella tells him that she likes the night and reminds him that without the night one cannot see the stars, not that anyone sees the stars much in Forks.
