Last night, I continued my adventure into the Twilight Series. I have now read up to Chapter 4. So a brief recap of what transpired in those chapters. Edward returns to school and now talk to Bella and Bella notices his eyes are different and then can't talk to him because he is so beautiful. She then goes grocery shopping, this was probably my favorite part of the book thus far. It gave Bella something to do other then to wine and wonder why Edward does not like her. We also had the first snow in the book. Also we finally had some action transpire in the book. It all started so innocently. Bella wakes up and it greeted by snow on her truck and ice on the road. She drives to school and when she arrives to school she notices her dad (I will call him dad and not Charlie because it makes no sense that Bella calls him Charlies, and makes a point of it every 15 seconds) had put on chains her truck to help her navigate the ice and snowy roads. Once she arrives at school this is when things pick up for a few seconds. Bella steps out of her car, a van come sliding out of control and then Edward run in and saves Bella. In the book, I had to reread this section 3 time to understand what actually happened. It was interesting to note the reactions of a few people here.
1. Bella, she insisted and probably rightly so that Edward was not standing next to her. This causes Bella to go Nancy Drew in the story and start investigating the facts of the accident and her rescue. She quizzes Edward relentlessly about were he was standing.
2. Edward, he reacts defensively to all of Bella's questions. He should know that anytime you are defensive with a women she is automatically going to think you are lying. (I know this line is going to get me in trouble)
3. Reaction of Edwards family, this reaction was interesting and stood out to me. They were upset that he saved her, why I don't know yet.
4. Dad (aka, Charlie) like a concerned Parent and help her leave hospital.
The main point I want to talk about in these chapters is the relationship between Bella and Edward. I would have to say it makes perfect sense to why Bella is intrigued and starting to crush on Edward. Edward is a bit of a jerk, a tool and mysterious. Bella is looking for a father figure and a protector and now Edwards is now that protector. Edward is sorta rude to her and probably causes her to want what she can't have. It makes her wonder "what if" this seems to be common in society. The "what if" syndrome is were we wonder what might be. In Bella's case she wonder what his mystery is and what it would be like to have a relationship with sorta jerkish boy Edward. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I will keep you updated on my thoughts and ideas.

I think you are reading it with the intent to criticize and looking for things to be negative about rather than reading it as a neutral bystander. If you let the book entrance you, rather than analyze it to death, you will probably be better enthralled into the twilight experience, and what that experience trully is.
Sounds to me like little Bella needs to go watch "He's just not that into you." Maybe then she'll get the picture that a frumpy girl like her never stand a chance with Senor Suave.
