Chapter 6 ~ Switzerland

[pennybug84]

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous? At this point I don't think he has any reason to be jealous he really believes that the wolves are dangerous

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more? I really think it's guilt. She has this martyr problem & she believes that he is hurting because of her & she wants to try and right that.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage? I'm not sure...... um maybe because she probably expected it

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car? Probably

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why? No, I thought it was sweet and kind of him to think of that. He just wants Bella to be comfortable and to feel like she's at home (and any excuse to spend $ on her is great by him!)

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?

There may be some degree of jealousy -- I mean, Edward says his mind has the ability to process many more thoughts and feelings than a human mind does -- but I think the main reason is his concern for Bella's safety.

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?

Bella cares about Jacob as a friend and knows that he's hurting. As is her way, she thinks of everyone else before she thinks of herself so she wants to make sure he is ok. Maybe subconsciously there is something more but at this point Bella's head is too full of Edward to be aware of it.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?

Alice is on Edward's side, 100%. She was the first one to tell Bella that she shouldn't hang out w/ the wolves and doesn't think that Bella is justified.

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?

Nope!

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?

Yes, but I don't think Bella was angry about the bed itself -- just what it represents. They planned this "hostage situation" far enough ahead of time to buy furniture for it. Ugh!

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?

He is jealous, even if he does not know about it. He can sense a deep friendship between Bella and Jacob, and deep inside he knew he caused that to happen. Still, it irks him a lot.

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?

Bella does not know it yet but she is a little bit in love with Jacob. Also she can't forget all the times he made her smile when her life fell apart.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?

Alice is a very happy positive person. There is not much that can bring her down, even Bella's whiny ways.

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?

OH YEAH I WOULD!

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?

No I wouldn't. Since I was being kidnapped anyway, I might as well be comfortable.

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?
Bit of both. The wolves are unpredictable, and having the one you love run off to go see another guy, would piss you off.

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?
Both (can't understand why she'd feel guilty though). She does love him but I think she's covering it up with the guilt thing. If she found out then that she was in love with him then she'd be in trouble, and she'd make Edward feel worse than he already does about this situation.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?
She probably thinks its funny - and she would've seen it coming.

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?
Yup!

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?
No, I would think it's cute. I feel bad for Edward because Bella is so damn against everything.
He wanted her to have a nice place to sleep but she has a hissy fit.

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?
I think it's a little of both. He is concerned about the wolves because they are his enemy and they are young. He knows that any one of the wolves could lose their temper and phase too close to Bella and hurt her. However, he is jealous too. Edward has seen in Jakes mind and has heard from Bella that she and Jake are close. Jake can be close to Bella in ways that Edward can't and that makes him jealous.

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?
Jake was there for Bella when she needed someone the most and through that they became very close. So I think she does feel guilty for not being around more because Jake needs her.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?
Alice is a pretty upbeat person most of the time so I'm sure that has something to do with it. She also knows that Bella does not like being the center of attention or being overly protected, and Alice probably saw Bella's unhappyness coming lol. She is well prepared for Bella's reaction.

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?
haha Yes, I think I would. Bella and Alice are friends so they get along, and at most times they enjoy hanging out. So if someone gave me a car to keep my friend safe and have a good time, then yes I would do it in a heart beat.

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?
No, I don't think I would be angry. Edward getting a bed would make it seem like I would be spending more time there. That would make me happy because I would know he wanted to spend more time with me.

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?
I beleive it is b/c of concern mainly, but I do think there is just a tad bit of jealous.

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?
No I don't really think it is guilt. She honestly cares about his as a friend.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?
B/C Edward payed her off and b/c she is concerned about Bella's safety as well.

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?
Yes, otherwise Edward would probably kill her lol...especially if anything ever happened to Bella. Also, Edward would probably do the same for her in return.

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?
This part was so funny.It was a unique touch to the book. I guess I can understand that she was mad b/c it seems he tries to buy things for everyone to make-up for being 'mean' or to pay them off in Alice's case.

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?
I think that he is a little jealous, but I don't think that is his main concern. Most of it is for safety reasons.

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?
It is some guilt. But it is also the fact that Jabob is practically family to Bella, and she cares about him and wants to be there for him.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?
I think it takes a lot to bring Alice's spirit down. The girl is just so positive and happy. And of course, Bella's reaction was totally as expected.

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?
Yes, I would. But I don't think Alice did it just for the car. She is very close to Edward, and would want to help him.

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?
Not at all. I thought it was sweet that he wanted her to be as comfortable as possible, and the he is constantly aware of her human needs. And I would sleep in the bed even if I was angry over being held hostage. And, the bed was not un-necessary, she might spend many nights there even when she's not kidnapped.

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous? Both

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more? She feels guilty of leaving him hanging like that. They were best friends he helped her through a really tough time that should not change because her boyfriend came back.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage? They are friends for one and she knows Bella's not really mad at her. Two she thinks she's safer away from the wolves. Anything she can't see can not be safe!!

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car? For that car OH YEAH

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why? No she was being childish. It was very thoughtful of him really. Even though he was keeping her hostage.

[you.are.my.heroin]

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?
A little bit of both

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?
He's her best friend he fixed her when she was broken.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?
She's Alice who knows what she thinks

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?
Ummm....maybe

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?
Yeah, cause Edwards made it clear it's gonna be for nothing but sleep

[futurevampire]

1. Do you think Edward is really jealous or is he just concerned that the wolves are dangerous?
Both. But not so much jealousy because he should know how much Bella loves him. The werewolves are dangerous. Because he knows what losing Bella is like, now he's more protective of her.

2. Why do you think Bella is so insistent on seeing Jacob? Is it guilt or could it be something more?
I honestly don't get it. Jacob annoys me. Until I read Breaking Dawn, I hated him. I just wanted Bella to leave him alone and let him get on with his life. It just made everything more difficult later. She did feel guilty, and Jake works that to his advantage. They are friends though, and she feels like she has to comfort him because he's all depressed. It is something more too, grawr, I really wish it wasn't. She's in denial about that part, though.

3. Why do you think Alice is not bothered by Bella’s outrage at being held hostage?
Alice is having too much fun with her sleepover to care if Bella is annoyed or not. I'm sure she expected Bella to act that way, Bella is very predictable. And, like she says, the werewolves are dangerous, and Bella doesn't understand that.

4. If you were Alice, would you have done what she did in exchange for the car?
I love sleepovers, and I can be like Alice, so yeah, probably. Plus that car is awesome.

5. If you were Bella, would you be angry about the bed? Why?
Not really. It doesn't make sense how Bella doesn't let Edward give her stuff. I wouldn't want loads of gifts either, but he has lots of money and wants to buy her presents.....what's the big deal? I think I would just laugh at the bed and roll my eyes. I'd probably would sleep on the bed, although I have a futon in my room, and I sleep on it occasionally and it's pretty comfortable...
