Chapter 1- First Sight pg. 3-29
To start off this book is written from the eyes of the main charecter, Isablla Swan or better known as Bella. The chapter opens with her mother taking her to the airport in Phoenix Arizona. Bella has decided to go live with her father in the small town of Forks, Washington. Forks is known to be the most rainy city in the United States and it is cloudy there almost every day. Why would someone would leave a warm 75 degree, sunny place to move to Forks, I will never understand.
Charlie, her father, has bought her a really old Chevy truck as a homecoming present. When they were first talking about it Bella seemed a little skeptical of it, but the second she saw it she loved it. When reading the description I don't think I would be as happy as she was to get that kind of car. I would have wanted a newer jeep or something. Not a beat up old truck.
Bella is already signed up for high school when she arrives to Forks and her first day is next. She is really nervous because she sees herself as a clumsy weird girl and she also knows she doesn't fit the profile of a girl coming from Arizona. She should be tan and pretty. While Bella is part albino and doesn't see herself as pretty.
When she gets to school she sees that her old truck doesn't really stand out in the parking lot. It fits in unlike the shiny Volvo she sees parked in there. She attends class and makes friends with Eric in English class, then Jessica in Trigonometry and Spanish. As she is eating lunch she looks over and sees a group of extremely pale and beautiful people all sitting together. It is explained to her that they are the Cullens.
I find that this chapter is pretty much a little over view/look into what is coming up next. You obviously wonder what is going to happen with her and Edward Cullen and how the rest of her time in Forks is going to go.
Buttttt; here is what her car looks like and what I would want if my dad were to buy me one.
