Don't judge a book by its cover...

... After finishing the book, its really interesting to look back on some of the events that took place with new meaning. In the first few chapters of the book, the reader doesn't know that Edward is a vampire. He seems to be just a cold hearted jerk who has very limited social skills. However, after finding out that Edward is a Vampire and Bella's particular blood type is especially tempting to him, one can better understand Edward's indifferent attitude towards her. It seemed that he was being rude by avoiding Bella and constantly blowing her off, when really he was trying to hold himself back from killing her! As twisted as it may sound, he really had good intentions. Or, in other words, he was trying to save her from himself. It was interesting when Edward told his side of the story about Bella's first few days of school. He had been going through a personal struggle between right and wrong and resisting one's temptations, and all the while Bella thought he was deliberately being mean to her. Its hard to know someone's true intentions unless they tell you themselves. I'm not saying that everyone who is mean is really a blood sucking vampire, but often the general public is too quick to judge when there is really something else going on under the surface.
