Being 17, i really did enjoy all the various conflicts that were portrayed in Breaking Dawn. At an age where obviously much is at stake- like college decisions, knowing you will soon leave home, and still discovering who you are as a person as well as deciding whether the friends you have will influence you positively or not- i loved how SM came to allow each of the character's conflicts to be realized. For example, Jacob's POV was exactly what i was waiting for. At the end of eclipse i was so broken-hearted for Jacob, being that he had lost his love, Bella. The simple fact that we were able to get into his head and listen to alot of the conflict he had to endure really allowed me to feel connection with Jacob. I've always loved Jacob, so being able to get inside his head this time was a real treat.
With Bella, though her conflicts were much more mature (with having a child) i still felt a connection with her. As a matter of fact, i was so attached to each of the characters in the story i couldn't help but understand what Bella was going through and the conflict she was enduring. Along with knowing Edward was suffering, but still not wanting to give up her child- i understand completely. Because to be honest i'm totally against abortion; but not just that, i felt Bella's connection & love for her child. Your child is apart of you, no matter what it is it will always be the most important thing to a person's life- and the thought of ever taking their life away is devastating and nonetheless out of the question for any parent in my opinion. So the fact that Bella wanted to protect her child, even if it meant her own life really just made total sense to me.
All in all, i thoroughly enjoyed how SM was able to show the character's conflict, and i really enjoyed how i always felt for them- as if they were real people...
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle, and i'm not leaving...
