This thread is for ANY questions pertaining to TWILIGHT (not New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, Midnight Sun, or ALL of the books in general).
Please post your Twilight questions in here (please make sure you've searched through the questions first, to avoid asking a question which is already answered), then check back regularly for answers!
I encourage all members to check this thread often, and try to help out those who have questions (you may end up learning something new in the mean time!).

Please, be appropriate with your questions, and thoughtful with your answers (no negativitey!) Also, please do NOT answer with 'I don't know..'. This thread is for being helpful to other members!

On that note, post your questions away! Thanks. :D

im pretty sure its in the first chapther.........when bella describes the cullens
" i was like a lost moon--my planet destroyed in some cataclymic, disaster-movie scenerio of desolation--that continued, nevertheless, to cirlce in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity"

yeah it's in chapter one on page 18 it's when Bella is describing the Cullens. She says " The girl was pixielike, thin in extreme, with small features.Her hair was a deep black, cropped short and pointing in every direction."

I think Edward explains it at some point. It was a ruse of sorts. James is the leader, but Laurent poses as the leader. I can't remember why, but it's explained somewhere.

The way they are set up is a front - it's to make the Cullens believe Laurent is the leader, even though James is. You have to remember that James is a game player.

"He said James was lethal. What if something gors wrong, and they get separated? If something happend to any of them, Carlisle, Emmett... Edward..." I gulped. "If that wild female hurts Esme..." "How could I live with myself when it's my fault? None of you should be risking yourselves for me --"

Never does she mention her worries for Rosalie who is in her truck with Esme.
Maybe Bella's just taking Rosalie's last words about her as an official way to think that she hates her.

Well i was just wondering because I never noticed it before, and this is my 5th time reading Twilight. I always thought bella was just afraid of Rosalie and intimidated by her beauty and her hate towards her, but i didn't think that she would not like to her to extent of not caring if she died.

oh and i found what Rosalie said about Bella

"Get upstairs and trade clothes," Edward commanded. She stared back at him with livid disbelef.
"Why should I? " she hissed. "What is she to me? Except a menace -- a danger you've chosen to inflict on all of us."
I flinched back from the venom in her voice.
Page 401

Could someone please explain that for me ?

I'm pretty sure that was just an unsaid worry in her haid. like when she listed them she was panicky and upset so she probably didnt purposefully not list Rosalie. Come on its Bella. she worries about everyone but herself

i never understood this part...

page 437:

" "I think I'll eat not," I said quickly.
Alice stood. "I'll come with you."
"Do you mind if Jasper somes instead?" I asked. "I'm feeling a little..." I didn't finish the sentence. My eyes were wild enough to convey what I didn't say. "

I understand why Bella needed to go with Jasper to be able to escape, but what was her reason for wanting to go with him? What was she feeling and what did it have to do with Jasper taking her?

if someone can help me out, it would be much appriciated. thank you (:

She was telling Alice that she wanted Jasper there because she was feeling panicky and upset so she wanted Jasper to calm her.

Umm actually it's because to Alice, Bella is really predictable unlike to Edward. Either because she can see into the future or just from woman's intuition. So if Alice had been the one to follow her to the bathroom then she'd find out much sooner what Bella was up to considering she had been thinking of the plan much sooner. Also, since Alice is also a girl, she would ahve followed Bella INTO the bathroom, preventing her from escaping through the other entrance.
