[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Good story/bad writer: (Was: What a snob!)/SPOILER for Twilight and Dawn

[Sherry Gomes]

zanooda:

I don't know, to me Bella is not a normal teenage girl (except for hormones
:-)), and her love is not just a teenage crush. It's more of a
Romeo/Juliette kind of thing, destiny and all that, which is not supposed to
be "believable", IMO :-). IIRC, it was stressed a few times in the books
that Bella is *not* a teenager, remember how her mother said that Bella was
born thirty five :-)? She takes care of her mother and father as if she is
much older than them...


Sherry:
I was much like Bella, actually.  When my dad and his second wife split up
when I was 13, I was the one who took care of my stepmom and my younger
siblings till dad moved me out of the home.  I was always like that, taking
care of the people who should have been taking care of me.  I never thought
of it before, but maybe that's partly why Bella was mostly believable to me.
I wanted to throttle her in the third book, most of the time, but that's
beside the point!  grin.

zanooda:
 But, as I said, I emphasized with Bella in the first book (except for the
love part :-)) - to me PE lessons at school were real torture, just like to
her, LOL.


Sherry:
Yes, me too.  well, I didn't have to take 	PE because of my disabilities,
but in general, I never did fit in anywhere in high school, and it was four
years of hell.
