Twilight (post #2) by: Nick Manzo

"He's telling everyone that he's taking me to prom either he's insane or he's still trying to make up for almost killing me last...well, you remember it, and the thinks prom is somehow the correct way to do this" (163).

Bella is saying this because Tyler Crowly is taking her to prom without her permission. I can relate to this quote a lot as well. I know that people always put words into someone’s mouth, even without their permission. This always makes me mad because when someone does this to me it’s never what I intended for. The person receiving the message interprets wrong and I had a totally different meaning then what they heard. I will agree that sometimes it could work out for the best and nothing wrong would be intended, but it’s really rare and it doesn’t last very long. Plus putting words into someone’s mouth doesn’t get you on their good side. This happened to me; even though it turned out ok I still didn’t like it because they said something to someone important without my permission and I didn’t know what went on. To me it doesn’t rise my trust level of someone when they do this action, it makes me wonder if they have done anything else to me without me knowing that effected an outcome of something. This book has really caught my interest, it’s really making me turn page after page.

This book has a lot of scenes where all these guys have been wanting to take Bella out and she only wants one guy to notice her. I think its funny and kind of creepy when Tyler says that they are going to prom together when she has no consent in it at all. But I guess he just wants to make up for almost killing her in the bad weather or he really does like her. I have almost finished the book,do you like it so far?
