Chapter 2 ~ Evasion

1. Compare/Contrast/or Speculate on your feelings about the days before your own Graduation with that of Bella's.
In 8th grade. Not graduated yet.
2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?
Uhm, something. I don't usually make predictions. I'm not a concentrate-and-figure-it-all-out type. I'm a keep-reading-and-you'll-know-eventually type.
3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
I figured that he had other reasons, yeah. You can tell something's suspicious. I don't remember, but I don't think I knew what they were.
4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
My mom explained everything a while ago...I'm Catholic..sooo...we all kinda wait until we're married...and I'm not stupid..so....uh....we haven't really said anything about it since. It wasn't awkward. Poor Bella.
5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?
No. Of course she forgave him. How can you stay too mad at your true love? What good would it do? And she did stare at the window for a while before she forgave him, so it wasn't tooooo long..

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
no, i really thought he didnt want esme or carlisle's feelings hurt.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
again, lets just say it was very different....

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?

I can't say they are anything alike I wasn't in a life and death situation at the time so they are so not even close to having anything in common. Except for the fact that I wouldn't get to see some friends that I truly cared about.

2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?
I thought about Victoria or the Volturi. I figured it was one of two evils and those are the only ones that I thought of as a real threat to Bella and the Cullens.

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
I'm pretty good at figuring out plots most of the time so I knew that Edward wanted to take Bella away because of Alice's vision and since her vision could only be Victoria or the Volturi iI figured that was the reason that Edward took her away.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
I thought that Bella's talk was so embarrasing because it was her dad I laughed so hard i cried. I never got the talk from my parents but my mom and I have always had a very open relationship and she asked me what I knew and she filled in the emotional parts of "The Talk" that you don't get in school.

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?
Not really If it was me dating Edward I would have done the same thing, I know I sound weak but come on it's Edward it's not like you can stay mad at him for longer than a couple of minutes or in my case seconds. Plus she knew what it was like to be without him and now that she had him back she wasn't about to keep him out for something as trivial as that.

1. Compare/Contrast/or Speculate on your feelings about the days before your own Graduation with that of Bella's. For my graduation, I was worried as well, but not about a life/death situation. I was more worried about saying goodbye to my friends

2. What did you theorize Alice had seen? I thought that she saw Victoria.

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were? I did not expect one.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
My mom gave me "the talk" so it wasn't as akward as Bella's but it was still wierd. There really aren't many similarities.

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob? I think that she forgave him a little too quickly because Jake held together when Edward was gone.

1. Compare/Contrast/or Speculate on your feelings about the days before your own Graduation with that of Bella's.
I haven't graduated yet...I will in May of 2010 though

2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?
Something about the killings going on.

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
Doens't he always, to get Bella out of Forks.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
My parents haven't really had "the talk" they trust me i gusse they don't really see the and I hope they never do

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?
Nope.

I was like three months pregnant when I graduated,.. so needless to say,.. I had a lot of different feelings about graduation.

2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?
Maybe the Volturi coming..

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
I was kinda surprised he had forgotten the tickets.. vampires don't seem to forget many things,.. I thought it was weird but not really. I loved the comments about staying in the U.S.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
haha.. I didn't really get a talk.. after being caught sneaking out one night, my mom sat me at the table and told me I was getting birth control.

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?
I actually felt Bella was being extremely ungrateful. She JUST got Edward back but wants to risk hurting him by going to see Jacob.. I understand her love for Jake.. but if all she ever wanted was Edward, why would she do something like this.

Well, she obviously had worse things to worry about. She wasn't really worried about THE graduation day, she was worried for what was going to happen after that.

2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?
I didn't have an idea, but I guessed something about Victoria.

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
Not really, the tickets were about to expire so I thought it was normal of him to want to go as soon as possible.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
Well, I had that talk with my mom, not my dad, so I guess it's a little bit different. And I can talk to my mom about anything, so I wasn't worried.

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?
I guess so, I didn't think he was going to be that difficult. But I wouldn't have lasted too long angry at him. I guess it's part of his charm.

I was just glad to be done with school.

2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?
I thought Bella had disappeared because of wanting to go to La Push.

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
I suspected he wanted to keep her from Jacob.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
Luckily, I never got that talk!

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?
Yes.

I'm a few years away from graduation, and I have no clue what could change by then. If I were to graduate right now, I'd be happy to get away from that hellhole, but it may be different when I'm a senior.

2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?

I had no theory.

3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?

Nope, I didn't suspect anything.

4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".

Quite similiar. I got it in an awkward fashion from my dad, and all I can remember from his explanation was the phrase: "Yeah, it'll hurt at first, but after a while you'll get used to it..."

5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?

I think that he was being pretty mean, but I understand how Bella is bad at holding grudges.

I haven't graduated yet, but many of my friends have. They've told me that it's kind of sad, because you all go to different schools and you won't see each other daily anymore.
2. What did you theorize Alice had seen?
I did suspect that it had something to do with Victoria, but I wasn't sure what ecactly it was.
3. Did you suspect Edward had ulterior motives in wanting to go to Florida, and what did you suspect those motives were?
It did feel like he was hiding something but I didn't think that he had any motives with the Florida-trip. I thought that he wanted Bella to see her mother before she is turn into a vampire. And I also think it would have hurted Esme's feelings.
4. Without being graphic, compare Charlie's attempt at giving Bella "the talk" to your own experience with getting "the talk".
Well, I haven't had "the talk", so I can't compare, but I would bet it would be embarassing.
5. Did Bella forgive Edward too quickly after he stopped her from going to La Push to see Jacob?
I think she didn't forgive at first, she just didn't want to fight with him. Well, I wouldn't want to fight him eather.
