Random Questions I'd like to ask the Twilight Characters (Part 25)
121. Why didn't Alice "see" Bella getting hit by Tyler Crowley's van in Twilight?
Logical Conclusion: Even though she's highly attuned to her family, she didn't see Bella because Edward only was involved in the accident for a split second.She didn't see it because it didn't involve Jasper. He couldn't smell the blood coming from Tyler's wounds, and since it didn't involve vampire-on-people attack, it was of little consequence. She can't possibly see everythign all the time.
Sarah's Story: The above is a really lame excuse. She was too busy focusing on the unfortunate wardrobe choices that Bella constantly wore during the first part of the Twilight movie. Did you get a load of that huge coat she always wore? Ugh. SO not in style. It looked like she went back in time to the '80's, found the UGLIEST coat Charlie owned, then traipsed back into the movie and wore it to torture Alice.
122. What's Bella's favorite book?
Logical Conclusion: Bella's favorite book would be one of those she mentions throughout the Twilight series. Below are my rationalizations for each book mentioned.
Romeo and Juliet – no way. Too close to New Moon. The reunion between Bella and her Romeo might be better than Shakespeare's, but it's still out.
Anne of Green Gables – Everyone loves this book. It's cutesy, meaningful, and decidedly warm-and-fuzzy for the most part. Bella's deeper than that.
Wuthering Heights – The Edward-esque Heathcliff leaves, and Cathy marries the other guy. When Heathcliff comes back, they try to reunite. Cathy dies. Oops. (Yeah, so I simplified. Oversimplified. Didn't much care for the story in 9th grade, so kinda skimmed through it...) Not a pleasant story, but it certainly tells Bella what would've happened if she'd gone off with Jake, right?
Mansfield Park – Never read it. Can't tell ya if it's great or lame. Sorry. Bella likes it, though, even if she gets annoyed by the character's name...
Pride and Prejudice – Love the book. The gal gets her man. That's the way it should be. And, he should admit he's not perfect. (Well, I think all men should do that. And have rippling biceps. And a six-pack stomach...)
Overall, I have to think that Bella's favorite is Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Why? Because it's the happiest happy ending, and the book that Breaking Dawn was based on. There's a little confusion but everyone ends up with the right spouse for them at the end. All is well. And Puck, well, Alice would be a REALLY great Puck in a Forks HS theatre production of AMND, right? Gotta love Puck.
Sarah's Story: I had two books, equally compelling. The first book? It's called "I Want To Go Home" by Gordon Korman. Laugh my arse off every time I read the thing. I went to camp and love reading about two guys (who seem ambiguously gay, but what do I know?) who keep trying to escape from summer camp. Light. Funny. Not a whole lotta brain power needed to read it. I love that about my favorite book... The other book, though, I'm positive is Bella's favorite. Yes, Bella's favorite book is Hamlet. How can I be so sure? Because at the prom, she wished that the vampires would just take all the villagers out. Kinda like how 99% of the people present died at the end of Hamlet. Prom, Hamlet, so similar...
123. What's Edward's favorite song?
Logical Conclusion: Since Edward is so deep and moody, it's got to be something dark. That's just the way he rolls. It's probably The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel, since he never gets to just relax. Everyone's thoughts roll around in his head like giant drums beating relentlessly.
Sarah's Story: I'm a huge Jimmy Buffet fan. Edward naturally likes Jimmy, because, c'mon, who doesn't? (Don't answer that.) In any case, Edward likes to relax to a little Jimmy when he chills out. His favorite song, then, would have to be Cheeseburger in Paradise. How do I know? Easy. If the boy were human, he could change his eating habits. If he were human, his girl could stay human too. Then they could have paradise and eat cheeseburgers there. Plus, he wouldn't need the sound of silence. As a human, Edward wouldn't hear the thoughts others think.
124. Do werewolves ever have the inclination to chase their own tails?
Logical Conclusion: Yup. It's cute. The werewolves are cute, so they do stuff like chasing their own tails. There is not a single flaw in the above reasoning. Unless there is a flaw in the above reasoning.
Sarah's Story: When Leah told Sam she was mad at him for chasing tail, that wasn't quite what she meant.
125. What would happen if a Quilieute, in wolf form, mated with a real female wolf?
Logical Conclusion: Ummm... Oh, is that the telephone? I better get that...
Sarah's Story: (shakes finger at logical Sarah – oh wait, there's no such thing...) "Coward!" Yeah, so that's a really, really uncomfortable situation. Especially if that werewolf has imprinted on a human. "Um, honey, yeah, so there's something I've been meaning to tell you..." Not such a good thing. I don't imagine the female wolf would go for a huge wolf the size of a horse. She'd freak out and run away. It would be impossible for the huge wolf to convince a normal size wolf to come anywhere near him. Problem solved. (Logical Sarah returns) "Hey, did I miss anything? Oh, what? My turn's over? Aw, too bad... Glad you could handle the answer on that one. I owe ya."
