NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
Bella babbles on about the company and problems they pose. I'm sorry but for people who apparently hold human life in high regard, they seem to have no problem letting the other vampires still eat. But it's not in their territory or La Push so it won't be anyone they know which makes it perfectly all right. And people wonder why I scoff when they talk about "Cullenism". Well Jacob is worried and is of course portrayed by Bella as being immature. She's more amazed at how well the visiting vampires tolerate him and the werewolves:
I was amazed at the easy acceptance the visiting vampires had for Jacob; the problems Edward had predicted had never materialized. Jacob seemed more or less invisible to them, not quite a person, but also not food, either. They treated him the way people who are not animal-lovers treat the pets of their friends.
How the HELL is treating someone with the same indifference that you would treat an ANIMAL "easy acceptance"? They're still being racist asses you IDIOT. Acting like they're not there is not acceptance you MORON. Yet she's acting like JACOB is being unfair. God, I hate this girl. Why am I supposed to like her again?
So Peter and Charlotte came and they too, quickly fell in love with deux es machina baby. Then Irish clans and Egyptian clans (really?) show up to help. Irish clans were awesome but the Egyptian clan was difficult. Oh and guess what, the Egyptian clan is somehow white too. Let me guess, turning into a vampire makes your skin white and thus "pure" Meyer, you slightly ignorant and racist dolt? Just when I think this series can't make me any angrier, it does.
Then surprise! Amazon women show up! Sent by Alice of course. In between this absurdity (and Jacob being rude and surly in Bella's privlidged opinion) Bella learns how to fight. Or tries too, see Edward just can't bear to see his woman learn how to defend herself because see, it makes it all that more "real" to him. Meyer, I'm sure thought this was uber romantic. Me, it makes Edward look like a idiot. Okay, I get he's scared. But how about you teach your wife to defend herself so she WON'T get killed, you MORON. I still go by my theory that this is Edward's latant sexism shining through and he doesn't want his wife to know how to fight cause then his manliness will come into question.
But instead of calling him on his stupidity (Edward is never wrong after all) Bella just shrugs and learns from the other vamps. Bella inevitably whines about how hard it is. I for one am kind of happy that there's finally something she doesn't automatically get right away. But of course it's the manly art of fighting so somewhere in there is a message of "girls shouldn't be fighting! It's too hard for us!". Plus her whining also inevitably leads to a "praise Bella Swan!" scene cause we haven't had enough of those.
Then, in an even more absurd twist, Kate enlists Renesmee's help who is all for it. Naturally, being Super!Mom, this springs Bella into action and she protects her baby (which just so you know girls, is the only time we should be fighting) and what do you know? She gets it. Then suddenly her shield starts activating and I'm going to go ahead and say it: LAMEST SUPER POWER EVER.
Then suddenly, another group shows up. They want to help because they've been waiting for someone to try and challenge the Volturi (which of course saintly Carlisle insists that they aren't doing, although gathering an army of vampires like they are sort of suggest otherwise) and boring chapter ends. Going to call it: Cullens become the new Volturi or something as close in power as the Volturi.
WORD LIST: surmised, elasticity, ebbed, egregiously, tandem
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: The slight rampant racism in this chapter that Meyer probably doesn't even notice she put in there because she's that out of touch.
