ECLIPSE: Chapter 26-Ethics

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Bella talks to Charlie, who once more summarizes the book for us, she goes to see Jacob and the two have a heart to heart.

NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
We open to Bella going home to Charlie and because it wasn't enough to have the Cullens summarize things, we now need to have Charlie summarize things for us. Really Meyer, we're not that stupid. I won't even go into how ridiculous it is to have Charlie not putting two and two together and figuring out that something is going on. I mean really, he's a COP for crying out loud!
Bad transition later and it's the next day. Bella goes to see Jacob. We get his side of things and Meyer can't resist more sexism and attempting to make Leah out to be a harpy. Turns out Jacob's this way because Leah had the nerve to try and fight and Jacob of course, being the big strong male saves her. Naturally, his getting hurt is all her fault because she didn't know her place. Again, I hate this series.
Then we get Jacob being disgusted with Edward and of course Bella's angry at him and he makes a good point about Edward being a manipulater (he is, he SO IS) but because of the source, Bella is perfectly in her right to ignore him. Then Jacob blames HER for the kissing (he's the one who manipulated the situation so there would be a kiss so this is just him being a jerk) and we get tears from Bella (AGAIN).
Then Jacob says well at least we can try to be friends. I'm sorry but WHY DOES HE EVEN WANT TO BE HER FRIEND NOW? Were this the real world and not a wish fullfillment book Jacob would be pissed at Bella by now. He would not have put up with this crap. He would have given up on her back in New Moon. They would not be able to be friends because it's a little hard to forget hurt like the hurt this girl has caused Jacob due to her utter selfishness. This is why this is in NO WAY Whuthering Heights. In WH, there were CONSEQUENCES for Cathy and Heathcliff's selfish behavior. But in this, Bella practically gets rewarded for it! She gets her dream man and later on in Breaking Dawn, she manages to get to see Jacob too! He even becomes a part of her dang family (in a really uber creepy way). So sorry Meyer, this is not at all like Whuthering Heights. Chapter ends with them on good terms (heaven forbid someone not like Bella, you know?) and me disgusted.

WORD LIST: hamstring
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: Since everyone in this house was both perfect and impermiable, I could only assume that she'd bought most of these things with me in mind.-Or you know, those things could be why she's pretty you twit. Please spare me this "I'm so ugly" crap, Meyer. I didn't believe it in the first two books, I don't believe it now, especially considering she has two guys in love with her and Mike even still has a thing for her after the crappy way she treats them.
