HEY!!!!!!!!!! I'M BACK WITH A NEW REPORT ON THE TWILIGHT SAGA THE SECOND BOOK CALLED NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!

So where did I leave off last time? Oh yeah I remember Edward Cullen had left Bella!!!!!!!

October, November, December, January, he left her all these months. How could he do that to Bella? But, he cares about her and he did this because of her safety. Since, he left all those months  Bella had been staying home mopping around the house after school doing nothing. Her dad got mad about that he hates to see his daughter sad. So he said he was going to send her back to Arizona. But, she talked him out of it. So, Bella went to see an family friend. She went to Jacob Black. She asked him if he can do her a favor. The favor was that if he can fix her motorcycles. Even though she had promised her father that she wasn't going to ride a motorcycle in her life. She wanted to break all her promises. Just like Edward broke his. When Bella started hanging out with Jake she started to have her life back again. When she not with Jake the wound in her heart starts getting deeper. When Jake finally finished the motorcycles he and Bella went to go try them out. He was teaching her how to ride it, how to control it , and if anything happens how to stop quickly. When Bella tried riding it for the 3-4 time she fell and was willing to do it again. But, Jake was scared cause she had a big mark on the top of her head. (Bella is kind of clumsy just for the info) So, he took her to the hospital. But everything was ok. But, Bella and Jake had to hurry to her house so she can change her clothes. Before her dad gets worried about her and she can't ever see him again. Anytime when Bella does something so stupid and reckless and that can harm her she hears Edward's voice. So she keeps on doing it and doing it she loves hearing Edward's voice. One day she goes in the woods to stop her dad from the killing of werewolves. She doesn't want him to get hurt. When Bella was in the woods (she promised her father that she was not going to go there since there's been complainants on werewolves attacks) she saw Laurent (he's a vampire and James friend or something like that) she was so scared. Laurent told her that he had came to find her to tell her that Victoria wants to kill her for what happened to her James. (Edward had killed James for hurting Bells) Laurent said it wouldn't be fun just to tell her the news and won't do the job for her. Bella was trying to move but she couldn't. Then she saw the werewolves, and Laurent was running away in a blink of an eye. Who knew that vampires were scared of werewolves. When they ran after him she ran to her car to go home. Because she thought they was going to come back for her. When Bella went to Jake's house to see why he haven't been returning her calls, come over and she was tired of Billy's excuses (Billy is Jacob's dad) about him not being there. When she got there Jake told Bella that he couldn't hang out with her. Then, they got into a big fight because Bella thought that Sam Uley pulled him into his group just like he did with one of Jake's friends. Jacob said that it wasn't Sam's fault. So Bella left in tears. One night when Bella was sleeping she heard noises on her window and it turned out to be somebody out there. It was Jake. He came to tell her sorry for making her cry. He said he couldn't be her friend because he was a _____________. He couldn't tell Bella she had to figure out her herself. He said do you remember any of the stories I told you at the camp out about a year ago? To give her a hint. She knew all the stories. He said that he was something in the story. Then he left. Bella told him to go out the door not the window so he doesn't hurt himself. When Bella figured out she went to tell him. He said she was correct. She told him that she has a vampire that's trying to kill her. And she told him more stuff about the vampire. He took her to his group of werewolves. He said that he wouldn't get in trouble because you have dirt on a way to destroy the vampire. When they saw him with a girl they were furious about that idea. He was getting yelled at by Sam at his other werewolves partners. Then he told them about the information that she had. Then they was ok with the idea that she was there. Everyone went to Sam's fiancee house. One of Jake's partners said what ever you do don't look at the right side of his fiance 's face. She said alright. She asked what happened to her. One of them said that Sam had a temper.. and she was to close. His fiancee was very sweet. And she it seemed like she played the mother-like role to the group. After they ate. They took her home. Days after that Jake had to go to one of his groups so Bella went to do cliff diving. was bringing Bella home and he said that there was a vampire there. But, she said it was Charilse because his car was there. But, Jacob wasn't sure about it. So he left her there. and said "Bye Bella I hope you don't die'' but, Bella knew it was one of the Cullens. When she got inside the house he heard noises then she saw Alice Cullen. She was so ecstatic to see her it's been so long. Alice came a back to see if Bella was dead. She was mad at Bella she thought she died when she jumped off the cliff. When they was starting to talk the phone rang it was Jacob. He called to see if Bella was safe. And he came over. Bella really wanted to know if Edward was going to come and see her. Alice said no. That made Bella very sad. Alice and Jake wasn't people who should be in the same room with each other but, they both love Bella. The hone rang again and this time Jake picked it up. It was Edward but how was Jake suppose to know. There was a funeral one of Charlies friends died from a heart attack. And when Edward had called he asked if there was a funeral and Jake had said yes. So, Edward thought that Bella died. When Bella asked who called he said some guy wanted to know if there was a funeral happening. Alice knew it was Edward she got so mad. She called to talk to Edward but, Rosalie answered the phone and she was being rude on the phone. Alice got mad and hanged up the phone. She told Bella that they have to save Edward he was going to the Voultroi they lived in France. Bella knew when she said those words that she Edward was going to ask them to kill him. Bella didn't want him to die even if he didn't want to be with her anymore. Jake really wanted her to stay. He was trying to convince her to stay, but Bella wanted to save her true love. So Alice went to go buy plane tickets to leave. Jake sad that she was going to be safe if she could just stay in Forks. Bella didn't take his side she was going with Alice and that was that. She made Jake a promise and she wanted to really promise her that he was going to do it. She wanted to know if he would take care of her father. He promised her that he would with all the his heart he would. So Alice was outside waiting for Bella so they can leave to the airport. Bella and Jake was a alone. Bella kissed Jake's hand and left with Alice. When they was on the plane Alice told her not to think of any bad thoughts think of the positive. It was very hard for Bella to do that. There's so much things happening at once. Alice was trying to see if anything was changing (she has special gift to see whats going to happen in the future.) They had reached to France now and Bella had to find Edward by her self. Alice couldn't help her. It was the only way for her to save her true love. Alice forgot that it was a holiday that day. So there was a lot of people outside. Bella was running all over the place to find Edward. She had to search around the tower cause that was where he was waiting. She looked and looked until she finally found him. She screamed his name but he couldn't hear her. So she ran to him. She ran so fast that she ran into him. She was just about to hit the floor but Edward picked her up quickly. Alice was right behind them. One of the soldiers took Bella, Edward and Alice to the Voultroi. When they went there they had only two choices. Number one for Bella to die. Number two was for Bella to change in to a vampire because no human is suppose to know about vampires and mythical creatures like them self. So Edward said that they would think about it. And left. Bella was happy that she was with Edward but sad when she had to think that he would leave her when they got out of the building. So she didn't think about it at all. After all this Bella went through for one guy. She's crazy in love with him.

M.L.K. for a day (Quote)

Quote: The point of non violence is not to humiliate the opponent, but to gain his friendship and understanding. Dr. King did not want his followers to shame racists, only convince them to treat people better.

I had chose this quote because it really stands out to me. And that this quote is a good thing to live by. People should not humiliate you from the color of your skin, or how you look or anything about you. If they don't accept you they don't accept you. You can not change that at all you have no power over that. But, one day they'll turn around and accept you for who you are. Another reason why this quote stood out to me was because he's not afraid if people don't like him. He was taught to love the people who hated him or didn't like him. This quote is one of the things at makes me wonder more about people who changed our lives forever. I'll always and forever remember this quote.

M.L.K. for a day (Reflection)

Well, all that stuff we learned about Martin Luther King  was a treat. Because some kids who really want to know about Martin Luther King can't cause their school don't have an opportunity or don't get a chance.  Martin Luther King is a great man and he is a man who should not have died at a young age. He freed a lot of people. The people who were there and did not accept him as a leader and didn't like him should feel ashamed. I mean like everyone, every single one has some love in them and has a heart. And could be caring, loving and peaceful if they wanted to. So, they could of thought about what they was doing especially the man who shot him. Martin Luther King was a great person I'm so grateful to have a chance to learn about him and his life.
