[onyxblooms]

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?
-The boy punched a mini van, he ain't afraid of no bear.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?
-Crabby little creep.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?
Yeah that was pretty obvious, I liked him thought he was sweet.

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?
Uummm... he didn't see Edward lift up a mini van? Just a guess

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?
LOL I saw that coming. Duh of course there are werewolves. Come on now.

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?
To me I kind of figured he'd gone hunting, if there were only animals there and it wasn't a good place to camp it was evident that there was only one other reason why they would be there.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?
Lauren, to me sounded jealous of the attention Bella was getting. I'm pretty sure that before Bella showed up and excluding Alice and Rosalie she would have been the center of all the boys world. I think everyone knows girls like Lauren in life, there are a lot of them out there. I like that Bella ignores Laurens constant nit picking, it's yet another testament to Bella's maturinty.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?
Oh I think he was totally crushing on Bella, that's why it was so easy for her to get the story from him. He seems like a sweet kid, very open and warm and I think it's nice that Bella can relax around him.

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?
I think Jacob thought of them as old wives tales, stories to keep the youth in line. Not only that but they are a tribal community and throughout history they have been known to follow their legends. That's what's so fascinating about it. I think Jacob is the same as every other kid in the tribe and thinks that it's just a legend passed from father to son.

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?
Umm... I plead the fifth

[Edward_Obsessed68]

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?
Its funny. Looking back on the first time i read these books.... i hadn't really given that much thought... about what else he might have been doing, except that i thought it was strange that they would go somewhere dangerous like that.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?
I really just thought Lauren was a caddy, Beotch to be honest.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?
I liked Jacob, i thought he seemed really nice :]
I definately think that he felt interested in bella as more than a friend... just from they way he reacted to her, i thought itr was fairly obvious.

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?
I think even though he was only a few years younger, he was still young and just thought they were good as stories, i don't think he really accepted anything that his culture believed at the time.

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?
Again, i hadn't given much thought ito his mention on the werewolves, i was focused on the mention of the vampires, although, thinking about it, i suppose it IS possible for there to be more mention of werewolves in some future books...

This chapter is really good!

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?

Well, I was "Why he told her a lie?". I never think of other reasons he might be there.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?

I didn't like it, I think that if you don't like a person at least you must respect her/him.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?

My first impression: "He's a good guy, he can be a good friend". I get the sense that he wanted more than a friendship with Bella but "Nope, you can be only a friend for her, no more. And if you try to be more than that, you can get sentimentally hurt".

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?

You know, peope have their own superstitions and I think that Jacob didn't believe them because he didn't have facts that showed him that legends were real.

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?

It would be great, I like myth creatures so no problem!

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?
A: It was pretty obvious from the summary of the book where it was heading... this was just one of those 'Getting closer to the truth' moments.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?
A:She is obviously a jealous hag lol...

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?
A:Over eager... He should just want a friend and nothing else...

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?
A: He seems a bit more 'modern' I guess it the word. Naturally he has just grown up in a different time...

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?
A:Thats a given... Where there are Vampires, there are werewolves...Thats how it usually works in these types of fictions...

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?

Not really. I was sort of piecing it together at this point.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?

I didn't really understand it. I mean, Bella hadn't really done anything to anyone. And then I remembered that Lauren is a high school girl.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?

i liked Jacob. he seemed like a sweet kid. his enthusiasm toward Bella gave a hint that he might like her as more than a friend.

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?

He was young, and a lot of young people don't believe that ramblings of their elders. Bella believed because she was looking for proof.

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?

Excited . I love the supernatural.

[Bella_S_Black]

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?
Well I read the blurb, so I kind of suspected

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?
Lauren is just like any other spitful girl at high school. Her problem is jealousy

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?
I thought he was just a teenager, and yes he liked bella as more than a friend

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?
Because they do sound quite ridiculous, but bella had always known there was something strage about the cullens

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?
Well we do

[Hereandthere]

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?

I don't remember my intial thoughts about when Charlie said that but I do remember figuring it out before Bella did. I thought that Edward might be lying though to be honest.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?

It made me want to punch Lauren in the face. She put up this "fake face" in front of Bella that they are "friends" but not really and then is outright mean behind her back. Shows how cowardly she is too not to tell Bella up front that she doesn't like her.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?

He seemed like an adorable kid and I don't remember my initial thoughts about him (but they were muddled by an overview from friends). I did get the feeling that he liked her for more than a friend especially with the way his eyes were filled with joy and such with statements that she hinted to him.

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?

Well Jacob grew up being told these stories so they became the fairy tales that anyone would take for granted. Plus he didn't have any visual evidence to prove them right like Bella did.

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?

I didn't think that we would see werewolves because I am always the impression that legends have some fact behind them but not completely. So I figured since the vampire part was accurate then the rest would be inaccurate.

[ReturnedSecrets]

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?
I can't say that I thought Edward was doing anything but hunting. I had heard bits about the book when I picked it up so it wasn't a surprise to me that he didn't feed on humans.

2. How did you feel About Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?
Lauren represents the girls you love to hate in high school because they are so incredibly petty and have nothing better to do than pretend to be better than other people, especially those they are jealous of.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?
My first impression of Jacob is that he's a sweet kid, but I could tell, even if Bella hadn't pretended to flirt with him, that he was starting to crush on her.

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?
How many young people actually believe legends or ghost stories passed down through family? I feel it was perfectly natural not to believe his tribes old stories.

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?
I had an inkling werewovles could show up along the way.

[snowysuzy]

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?

I wondered what Edward was doing up there if it was dangerous.

2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?

I don't like Lauren.

3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?

I thought he was a little kid. I knew that from the first impression that he liked Bella. Just because every other guy did, so why not him too?

4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?

Because they are really bizarre lol.

5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" are true, how do you feel about the idea that we could see some werewolves in future books?

I thought it was awesome because if it was true then eventually werewolves would come into play.
