I have been reading the book Eclipse ( 3rd of the twighlight series) and Bella the main charcter has been trying to overcome a struggle. Her best friend is a werewolf and her boyfreind is a vampire. They both hate eachother but Bella loves both of them but in two differrent ways which is the probelm. Jake her bestfriend is in love wiht bella but she only sees him as a friend. He has been trying to win her over because deep inside he believes that Bella really loves him. This situation reminds me of a movie i watched called The Minute Men on disney channel about were two ex-best friends are after the same girl but one of the boys is dating her and the other is just his best friend. A diffrence between them and Edward (vampire) and Jacob (werewolf) is that they are not fairy tale like creatures they are human. A similarty between them is that in both stories there are two guys in love wiht one girl and both guys are not friends.

Sichuan Earthquake

First off an Earthquake is when the earths surface is shaking due to a violent movement of the rocky outer layer of the earth. This happens if the energy inside the earth is released , then earthquake waves transfer the energy to the center of the earth causing an earthquake. To break it down further faults are made in the earth which are places in the crust of the earth where the rocks have been moved which also causes the tectonic plates to move. The tectonic plate moving is very slow and it can take over a hundred years for the pressure to build up and finally be stronger than the rocks causing all that stored energy to be released. And BAM you have an earthquake. Things that humans can do to speed up this process are injecting fluids into deep wells for waste disposal, and firing underground nuclear test blasts. I read an article about a deadly earthquake in Sichaun Province that left animals flying and ponds draining and not to mention at least 3,000 people dead and some 4,500 missing.

Charlie told Bella to stay out of the woods until the bear problems went away. There had been several attacks the only strange thing was that there was never a body left behind only a little blood. Bella promised she wouldnt go in the woods. But one weekend when charlie was away she decided to go in to the woods to find the meadow that edward had showed her so many months ago. She thought that it would bring back old memories. but it didnt and out from a distance she saw a man walking up adn then she realized it was laurent. He had come to kill her. Just as he was about to eat her a pack of wolves showed up. there were five and they ran rihgt past her and went for Laurent. After a few days thinking adn hints from Jacob she realized that JAke was one of those wolves. And that is why he had been acting so stange all those weeks ago.

Bella decided to take a group of freinds to the movies but in the end only Mike Newton and Jacob could join her. They all went to see a scary bloody movie and mike ended getting sick. He was puking the whole car ride home. Bella and Jake thought he was sick from the movie but it turns out he had the flew wich had been going around for a while. Jake started getting sick after that night to they assumed he had the same thing. Only he wasnt throwing up and he was seemed to be getting a really high fever. Jacob was never able to talk to Bella after that night and she started getting worried about him even though billy said he was just sick. She didnt believe it. Befor that night many other starnge things had been happeing their had been these bear sightings and soon enough bella came across one her self. Only when she saw it she notice tthat it was much bigger then a bear. It was a wolf and it was huge!

Bella realized that whenever she does something stupid that could put her self in danger Edwards voice would appear. So she tried everything she could inorder to hear his voice. She found some guy to sell her two motorcyles and she took them to Jacob so he oculd fix them. From then on her and jake became best friends. Everyday he would work on fixing the bikes adn everyday she would watch. It started getting easy for her to pretend to be happy and everytime she was with Jacob the whole in her heart that Edward left got smalle and smaller. When the bikes were fixed she gave the nicest one to Jacob and they went somewhere so he could teach her how to ride them. The first time she was doing fine but Edwards voice startled her and the bike fell on top of her. She fell again after that but this time she cut her head and they had to stop for the day.

Bella decided that since she didnt want Charlie being so catious of her that she would ask someone to go to a movie wiht her. Not for her own good but for charlies she didnt like him seeinf her like that. Bella asked Jennifer at school and she unwillingly agreed. Bella couldnt see a romance movie she knew she wouldnt be able to handle it so they decided to go see a horror movie about zombies. But the begingin was to hard for bella to watch so she kept leaving. Befor they went to a movie she saw a group of men that looked like the ones that had tried to harrass her a while ago and she started to approach them. She suddenly stopped when out of nowhere she heard the voice of Edward Cullen in her head.

For a while charlie would run up to Bella's room because of her screaming but soon he realized it was all repetative and he knew it was just nightmares. Bella was still the same she was always sad. But now she tried harder to make her self seem happy so her father wouldnt try to send her away. She tried to start talking to her friends again but they didnt really wanna be bothered wiht. School was hard for her becuase she would never see the cullens across the lunch room at lunch anymore. Even at work she wouldnt talk and after a while mike newton also stopped trying. All of her friends figured this is how it would be with her.
