Twilight is another romance drama in the teen world of books. Even though I'm not very far into the book, I can already sense a feeling of hatred between two of the main characters. In most stories, characters are so unpredictable and a lot of the time change feelings towards each other. So maybe feelings will change.
Edward has been being really weird towards Bella. Bella hasn't talked to him yet, so she doesn't understand why Edward hates her so much. Bella hasn't done anything to hurt him either. Sometimes the feeling of love can come off as such a hard and sharp emotion. Like Shakespeare's messages and questions and ways of showing themes, I also wonder if there is such thing as "young love." Is it possible for young children to fall in love? I think the reason Edward and Bella aren't really getting along right now is because they don't know what love "really is." In order to fall in love, you have to know what love is. I don't think many young people understand what love is.
Why is Edward acting so awkward around Bella? Why are other kids talking to her and comforting her? I think Edward is a really interesting symbol for love, and shows a really weird way of what love can be, and what it can change into.

Peer Mentors!
Some Inspiring Writing.
Malik did an excellent job of explaining his ideas. He started off with one big topic, "Perfection." Through out his post, he enclosed on specific parts of his idea and did a really nice job of getting into deep detail. I really like the way he questioned his ideas. He started off with a broad question that made him dig into his deeper detail. Malik described people with his ideas. He said you can observe the way people think about perfection by just looking at their perspectives on the world. He was very direct with his message to the reader and told us what he wanted the readers to observe the way people are with perfection. I also really liked the way he related his idea to his personal life with his family and his religion.
Now this, was one very thought-provoking post. (Kayla's AMAZING post.)
Kayla is the kind of writer who deserves to be in an All-Star Mentor post. Kayla always pushes herself over the minimum 3 paragraph post. The second paragraph in Kayla's post really has a lot of thought put into it. She questions her idea, she answers it, explains it, and puts a nice rhythm into it. One of characteristics that a great post needs, is going inside and outside of the book. Kayla related her issue of stealing to the inside of her book, and then brought it back into her person life and the things she observers around her. Another thing Kayla did really well in this post, was end it with a question. All posts get your mind working when they end with a question. Good job, Kayla!
Another powerful post (Ashley's AMAZING post.)
Ashley did a really nice job with her post. In her first paragraph, she did a short but filling retell of her book. Ashley and my other mentor Malik, both had similar posts. Their main issue was "Perfection." They both had different perspectives on this idea. Malik related his to the general world, and Ashley related hers to her family. I really like the way Ashley said she didn't need a perfect family. As long as they were there for her, she was happy. I totally agree with Ashley. A perfect family is a scary family. There's no reason you have to be perfect. As long as your there for each other, you should be happy. Ashley also did a nice job of questioning her ideas.
Thank you to all of my mentors who made me become a better reader, writer, and listener.
Good job to everyone!
