Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 2014Background:

So far in the Twilight series, Bella Swan has moved back home to Arizona to live with her father after her mother remarrying. Back in this old town at a new school, she meets this mysterious guy named Edward Cullen. As Bella and Edward have multiple chance encounters, an attraction grows between them that neither of them can ignore. As the series goes on to build up to Twilight Breaking Dawn 1 & 2, Bella and Edward grow together and find out all there is to know about each other, including Edward’s secret about being a vampire. Bella feels so strongly about Edward that she doesn’t care that he is a vampire, she must be with him no matter what it costs. Bella is then put in a dilemma. Bella’s best friend Jacob is part of the Quileute tribe, vampires’ natural born enemy, and doesn’t approve of her and Edward’s relationship. Jacob also wants Bella for himself because he is in love with her and has been in love with her since the very beginning. This situations causes drama throughout the entire series.

Description of Location:

Twilight takes place in Phoenix, Arizona. Within the town are small stores, restaurants and schools. In the town reside humans, as well as vampires, and the Quileute tribe, who descend from wolves. The vampires walk amongst the humans during the day but don’t have much interaction with them for fear of their secret getting out. For the most part they stick together and live off away from the humans. The Quileute tribe is able to interact more with humans and live near them for they display some of the same qualities as humans and look like them when not in their wolf state. In Phoenix there are a lot of trees and mountains. The trees and mountains provide a good place for the vampires and Quileute tribe to hide out and fight each other as problems occur, without being caught by the humans. In the woods resides the Cullen family. Their home is the place where Bella and Edward spent most of their time together in the beginning of the series and where they are wedded later on. Another location in Twilight is Brazil which is where Edward and Bella spend their honeymoon before moving in with Edward’s family back in Phoenix. In Brazil is a beautiful beach house surrounded by palm trees and sand where Edward and Bella stay on their honeymoon.

Figured World: An environment which consists of its own behaviors, ideas, discourses, artifacts, and actors.

In this figured world there are three discourse communities. The first discourse community is the humans. They don’t believe in attacking or drinking the blood of humans. There are people assigned to check out and investigate the occasional miss happenings that occur involving “animal” attacks on humans, which are really vampire attacks. They use cell phones and face to face conversations for communication. The humans also use letters and cards to communicate across great distances. They sleep, eat food and hang out in the sun. The second discourse community is the vampires. Vampires can run extremely fast, read the minds of each other as well as other creatures. Each vampire has their own sense that they can use as a weapon, and all vampires can see for great distances and smell a human or Quileute from miles away. The vampires have the taste for human blood, however the Cullen family restrain themselves because they wish to live at peace with the humans as much as possible. Instead of drinking human blood they go hunting and drink animal blood. The other vampires in the area attack humans. The

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 2014vampires aren’t allowed to step foot on the Quileute land because of a treaty hundreds of years ago. Vampires are not allowed to disclose their identity to any humans or they will be killed by the Volturi. The vampires are not allowed to birth children nor bite children, creating immortal babies, for they cannot be tamed or trained and could cause vampires to be discovered. They do not eat nor sleep and they try to stay out of the sun when in sight of humans because their skin shimmers like crystal. Vampires communicate through face to face communication, phone calls, and at times speak mentally. An example of this would be in the first Twilight when Bella was about to do something dangerous, she heard Edward’s voice telling her to turn around. The third discourse community is the Quileute tribe. Their focus is to protect the humans and aside form a few differences they are a lot like humans. They eat, sleep, hang in the sun and go swimming. Whenever they become angry or sense danger they transform into wolves. When in this state they use animal calls and growls as communication. When in their human state they use face to face conversation, phone calls, and letters for communication. The Quileute tribe also can’t expose their full identities to the humans and they try to stay out of the path of the vampires.

Actors: People who play a specific role in a figured world. The figured world decides his/her significance. Actors can also be artifacts, symbolizing a certain idea. For example. A geek, jock, or airhead/blonde.

Isabella (Bella) Marie Swan- Although she is human. She is not like most females. She is a jeans, t-shirt, and boots type of girl. She drives an old pick-up truck and would rather work on motor bikes than go to the mall. Bella is very strong and strong minded, stubborn if you will, and she doesn’t fear most things. All the humans fear the vampires whereas Bella is intrigued by them. Once she meets Edward Cullen she falls in love with him and decides that she too wants to be a vampire so that she can live forever with him. Once turned her special ability is mental-shield which is why vampires can’t read her mind.

Edward Cullen- Was originally born Edward Anthony Masen but was turned into a vampire at age 18 by Carlisle Cullen. He has the special ability of telepathy. He is extremely strong and fast, though he hides all of his abilities from humans as to hide his identity. He doesn’t drink human blood for he is part of the Cullen family and they are totally against attacking humans. For the most part he stays to himself, follows all of the rules set out for vampires and keeps his true identity a secret until Bella comes to town. He falls in love with her and reveals who he really is to her in the first movie of the series.

Jacob Black- He is part of the Quileute tribe and is a shape-shifter. When angered or in the presence of danger he transforms into a wolf. He has a strong hatred for Edward but an even stronger love for Bella. He is always ready to protect Bella whether she heeds his warnings or not. He is always there for Bella, even when she doesn’t want him to be. Jacob’s unconditional love for Bella causes tension

pain upon people. She can be seen as somewhat controlling.

Artifacts: Tangible items, ideas, or emotions that have a special meaning in a figured world. An artifact also enables an actor to be able to perform a specific act.

Rochelle Walton, 02/08/14,
Are there more artifacts? If so add them.

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 2014Wall of graduation hats: If you walk through the Cullen’s home you will see a wall by the stairs covered in graduation hats. To the few humans who get to see the inside of their home, it just looks like a creative piece of art. However the viewers of the movie know that it represents the many years that they’ve been living and the hundreds or high schools they’ve had to attend and graduate from.

Blood: Keeps Bella alive during her draining pregnancy.

Speed: Allows all of the vampires to get away from danger as well as attack any threats.

Vision: Extremely good vision enables the vampire to see prey and danger far off.

Mental Shield: This allows to cover and protect anyone she wants when another vampire tries to use their gift on them. It also prevents vampires from being able to read her thoughts.

Telepathy: Allows Edward to be able to read others thoughts and know what they are going to do before they do it. He also uses this to speak to Bella when she is in danger.

Clairvoyance: Enables Alice to be able to see things before they happen. She uses this to warn her family and friends when danger is on the way. This helps to keep the family out of a lot of potential deadly situations.

Emotional empathy and manipulation: Jasper has this ability and it enables him to be able to control the emotions of other so they feel what he wants them to.

Beauty: Enables Rose to get men to do what she wishes.

Strength: Allows Emmett to fight anyone or anything and carry heavy objects as weapons.

Compassion: Makes it easy for Carlisle to connect with the humans he encounters and causes them to trust him.

Passionate Love: Enables Esme to deal with the Shape-shifter even when they are rude to her and her family. Helps her to make peace.

Tactile-thought projection: Helps Renesmee to share thoughts by simply touching people.

Anti-shield: She is able to break down vampires’ mental defenses.

Shape-shifting: Allows the Quileute tribe to turn into wolves and defend themselves and others.

Imprinting: Causes an immediate connection between the shape-shifter and whoever they imprinted on. Once Jacob imprints on Renesmee there is an unbreakable alliance between the Quileute tribe and the Cullens because anyone imprinted on by a shape-shifter cannot be harmed by anyone else in the pack.

Phones: Allows Bella to communicate with her family once she can no longer visit them.

Howls: Allows the shape-shifters to communicate with each other across great distances.

Loyalty: This trait causes the Cullens and the Quileute tribe to stay true to the rules and regulations in their discourse community, causes them to stay devoted to one another, and makes

5

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 2014them respect the treaty put in place between the two discourse communities hundreds of years before hand.

The Treaty: Between the Quileute tribe and the vampires stating that each group should not be on the land of the other without permission.

Discourse Community: a community where people share the same beliefs, abilities and behaviors.

Humans: They are unaware of the vampires that surround them. The attacks that occur in the town are all blamed on animals. They have no idea that there are vampires walking the streets and attending the schools that their children are enrolled in. Even the town doctor is a vampire. The humans sleep and eat and have limited abilities.

Vampires: Keep their identities secret around the humans. Have the taste for human blood however the Cullens fight the urge to attack humans and attack animals instead. I guess that you could say that the Cullen family is a discourse community within a discourse community. None of the vampires get along well with the Quileute tribe. They don’t eat or sleep and have individual powers and strengths. The Cullen family tolerates the tribe because of Bella.

Quileute tribe- Get along well with humans although the humans don’t know their true identity. They protect the humans from vampires. They eat, sleep, and hang out with their human friends.

Literacy Practices: The way people communicate.

Humans: Communicate through face to face conversations as well as through phone calls and letters.

Vampires: Use mental messages to communicate. They can speak to each other through their minds.

Quileute Tribe: While in human state they use face to face communication, phone calls, and letters. When in wolf state they use howls and animal calls.

The Observation:

0-5min: Edward shows up in Bella’s room to make sure that she still wants to follow through with the marriage being that she is human and he is a vampire. He tells her of some of his past and how when he was first bitten and became a vampire, he attacked people and was an animal. Regardless of his story and attempt to change her mind, Bella still wishes to be turned into a vampire after their honeymoon.

5-10min: Bella has a bad dream about marrying a vampire and all her family and friends being consumed by them however, when she wakes she is more than ready to marry her vampire lover. This shows her love and devotion for him that surpasses any fear that she could have towards him. While preparing for the wedding Rose makes a remark that she isn’t upset with her choice in groom but for her disrespect for mortality. This represents how Rose regrets being a vampire and resents the fact that she was turned into one against her will. She wishes that Bella wouldn’t go through with the change. As Bella’s parents walk through the Cullen’s home they notice all of

10-15min: Everyone is getting in place for the wedding to begin. Bella’s father walks her down the aisle.

15-20min: Edward and Bella are wedded. The Quileute tribe shows up to support Bella on this big day. Their presence causes a little tension with one of the visiting vampires. The vampires leave and everyone gathers around for toasts. Edward’s brother makes the remark that he hopes that Bella has gotten plenty of sleep because she won’t be getting anymore for a long time. This foreshadows her change and the fact that once she becomes a vampire she will no longer sleep. Edward also stands and makes a toast that he is grateful to have found someone who accepts hi for who he is, he is hinting at him being a vampire.

20-25min: Jacob returns and shows up late to the wedding after running off in the previous movie. Jacob and Bella dance together and catch up until the conversation gets sidetracked and Jacob becomes upset with Bella for her decision to become a vampire.

25-30min: Jacob’s anger grows as he comes to learn that Edward and Bella plan on having sex during the honeymoon because a vampire can kill a human by having sex with them. Jacob loses his temper and runs off again. Edward and Bella return to the party and then ride off to begin their honeymoon.

30-35min: The honeymoon starts off great and is easy sailing. Edward and Bella attempt embracing each other even though it’s dangerous for a vampire and human to do so. They spend time on the beach, play chess, and Edward treats Bella like a queen.

Observation 2

50-55min: Edward and Bella are now on their honeymoon. Bella wakes up hungry and finds a note from Edward saying he will be back before she wakes. So Bella looks through the fridge for something to eat. She grabs random food and begins to cook chicken as she eats peanut butter out of the jar. Once the chicken is finished Bella begins eating it and the stops and rips it open, it’s still pink. Bella becomes nauseous and runs to the bathroom and throws up. Edward walks in and she tells him to leave. He refuses to leave her side. Bella tells Edward to hand her her bag and asks him how long they have been on their honeymoon. As she looks through her bag she realizes that her menstrual cycle is late. She runs to the mirror and looks at her stomach. She tells Edward that she believes that she is pregnant. Edward goes into shock and then Alice calls his phone. Bella answers and Alice tells her that she has seen something. Edward snaps out of it and grabs the phone so that he can speak to Carlisle.

55-60min: The housemaid comes to check on Bella. She fears of Bella being alone with Edward. Edward explains to her what is going on because her tribe has legends about vampires and she could have possibly heard of a human being impregnated by a vampire. She feels Bella’s belly and says “March”. Immediately Edward begins to pack their bags and tells her that he won’t let it hurt her, “Carlisle will get that it out of you”. Bella becomes upset at his use of the word it. Inside Bella sees this as a miracle and is excited about everything because vampires don’t have

Good development. Creates curiosity.
Rochelle Walton, 02/08/14,
Do Bella’s parents play a significant role in the movie?

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 2014children. Edward and Bella head to the airport to get on their plane. Due to the rapid growing pregnancy, Bella has come up with an excuse to tell her father as to why she can’t see him. She lies to her father and tells him that she is sick. Edward gets out of the car to load their bags on the plane before Bella gets out. While in the car alone, Bella calls Rose and tells her that she needs her help. The setting changes back to Phoenix as Jacob approaches Carlisle at the Cullen home. While there he finds that Bella and Edward are back home.

60-65min: When Jacob enters the room Rose stands up to block Bella. Bella tells Rose that it’s ok and Rose moves over so that Jacob can see Bella. Bella is covered by a blanket but one can still tell that she has lost a lot of weight. Bella asks Rose to help her up. Jacob becomes aware that she is pregnant. He instantly becomes enraged with Edward. The whole Cullen family and Jacob are concerned about the baby killing Bella. The baby is growing too quickly within her. Edward speaks to Jacob outside and asks him to try to convince Bella to let go of the baby and not try to carry out the pregnancy because the delivery will kill her. Jacob tells Edward that Bella never listens to him and inquires what will happen if their plan doesn’t work. Edward tells Jacob that if she does go through with it and dies then Jacob has his permission to kill him, which is what Jacob has always wanted. Through all of this, Bella and Rose have grown closer and Rose becomes protective of Bella. Rose understands what Bella wants and is there for her. Jacob tries to talk to Bella but she won’t listen because she feels that the baby is a miracle and is sure she can handle it. Jacob becomes emotional as he asks her what the point is of all of this. Him loving her but her loving Edward. He leaves shape-shifting into a wolf and runs off in the woods as he cries out to his tribe.

65-70min: Jacob informs his tribe of all that has happened. Sam plans for the tribe to kill Bella in order to kill what is living in her. The tribe fears of what it may do. Jacob is not pleased with the idea of killing Bella and won’t allow it. His love for Bella is too strong. Jacob is totally against it and is willing to fight against his own pack to prevent it. Sam tries to make him stand down but Jacob refuses because he was the rightfully born leader of the pack and realizes that he was not meant to follow. He runs back to the Cullen family to warn them of the pack’s plan. Seth follows behind him and tells him that he wants to join his side. Jacob tells him to go back to the pack but Seth refuses, he feels that he has something to prove. Then Leah pops up and said that she wants to join his pack as well. Jacob tells both of them to leave and that he is doing this alone. He tells Leah that he doesn’t want her. Leah said she is used to being unwanted. She refuses to go back to the pack where she has to see Sam and the woman he has imprinted on.

75-80min: The setting changes from the woods back to the Cullen home in the medical room upstairs. Bella is in the examining chair being x-rayed. Bella’s rib has now been cracked by the baby that is inside of her, which is crushing her from the inside out. The baby is too strong for her body and the sac it is in is too strong to be punctured so Carlisle unable to do an ultra sound or see exactly what is going on with it. Edward attempts again to convince Bella to give up on this. He is scared of losing her and having to live for eternity without her. Bella tells him that if she doesn’t make it he will still have a piece of her. Edward tells her that he will not be able to love or even tolerate the very thing that killed the love of his life. He becomes angry with her because he sees this act as her deciding to leave him.

Rochelle Walton, 02/08/14,
Identify break between observation.

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 2014*Before reading on to observation 3, it will be easier to understand if you have a little background on what happened later on after observation 2. Bella goes through with the pregnancy and the baby sucks almost all of the life out of her and breaks most of her bones. The only thing keeping Bella alive is drinking her blood that Carlisle had saved from doing studies on her before. When Bella goes into labor the baby breaks her spine and she has to have an immediate C-section. Rose tries to do the C-section, but being a vampire she has a hard time handling all of the blood so she has to be tackled and taken out of the room. Edward picks up where she left off. He has to bite into the sac to break through it. He pulls out a baby girl and hands her to Bella who has just barely survived the delivery and once she’s held the baby Bella dies. Edward grabs the baby and hands her to Rose who has gained back control. Edward grabs a shot full of his venom and injects it into Bella’s heart. Jacob immediately begins doing CPR on Bella but it was not working. He leaves enraged with Edward and broken by Bella’s death. Edward doesn’t give up. He continues doing CPR in Jacob’s place and bites Bella all over injecting more venom in hopes of increasing Bella’s chances of survival. Jacob plans to kill Renesmee (the baby) but as soon as their eyes meet, he imprints on her. Edward’s attempt on Bella pay off and she comes back to life but she comes back turned. She is now a vampire. The Cullens surprise Edward and Bella with a home of their own. Life as a vampire goes great for Bella. She got what she always wanted as well as a miracle child, who grows extremely fast by the way. You don’t know the exact amount of time lapsed but within weeks Renesmee has already grown into a child.

30-35min: The Cullen’s cousin Irina witnesses Bella, Renesmee, and Jacob in the woods catching snowflakes as she watches them from up on a mountain. She sees Renesmee fly up and catch a snowflake and instantly believes that Renesmee is an immortal child. Bella sees Irina off in the distance but Irina runs off before Bella can run up to her. Irina goes to the Volturi and tells them that the Cullens have committed a crime.

35-40min: The Cullen family and Jacob are gathered around the piano as Edward teaches Renesmee how to play. Alice walks in carrying and vase of flowers and drops them as she has a vision. She sees that Irina has gone to see the Volturi and that they are coming for the family. Carlisle explains to Bella that it’s illegal for a vampire to make an immortal child because they cannot be trained or tamed. In the past immortal babies have destroyed whole villages. He tells her of how Irina’s mother made an immortal child and was killed for the act. The family decides to search for friends and family who will be willing to help witness to the Volturi that Renesmee is indeed human and not an immortal child.

40-45min: The family splits up to share their story with family and friends all over the world and convince them to witness. Edward, Bella, Jacob, and Renesmee go to Irina’s two sisters first. The sisters are angered that they would even bring a shape-shifter and an immortal child to their home but Edward and Bella explain to them that she is human. Jacob brings Renesmee out of the car to meet them. They try to fight Bella and Edward for bringing her to their home for fear of the Volturi but Renesmee touches their faces and they believe. They agree to witness to the Volturi.

50-55min: Jasper and Alice run off and leave a note saying to gather as many witnesses they can and be ready when the snow sticks to the ground. No one knows where they’ve gone. The Cullen family and Jacob continue to collect vampires until they have family and friends from all over

Read aloud and make sure everything make sense.

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 2014the world. With all of the vampires in the area, Quileutes begin to transform into shape-shifters due to their nature compelling them to join the pack. The vampires practice their talents and Bella discovers her gift is a shield. That is why no other vampire’s powers work on her. Jacob begins training the other wolves in case they have to fight the Volturi. Two uninvited vampires show up, Vladimir and Stephen. They tell the family about their history and how they want to join the family because they have been waiting to fight the Volturi for a long time. Carlisle informs them that it won’t come down to that.

55-60min: Later that night Bella puts Renesmee to bed. Renesmee asks her if Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper left because they were going to die. Bella tells Renesmee that no one is going to die and she will do whatever it takes to protect her. Bella then goes in the living room to talk to Edward. He tells her of how strong she is and how he always underestimates her, that every obstacle she overcomes it. She is the reason he has something to fight for, a family to protect. He then leaves the room to get the bath water running for Bella.

60-65min: Bella sees at the note from Alice and flips it over. She notices that it’s the front page from the book, The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. She then goes to their bookshelf and realizes that Alice ripped the page out of their book to make the note. She looks through the book and finds another note from Alice saying, “J. Jenks Seattle- destroy this.” Alice made sure that only Bella would get this message because her mind is the only one that can’t be read by Aro. Bella throws the book into the fireplace and burns it. Bella and Jacob take Renesmee to see Charlie, Bella’s dad. Charlie comments on how big Renesmee has gotten. Bella tells everyone that she has some errands to run but she’ll be back. She leave Jacob with Renesmee and heads to Seattle to meet up with J. Jenks. Once Bella meets with him she realizes that Jasper got fake passports made for Jacob and Renesmee as well as a driver’s license and birth certificates. She now understands that Alice saw Edward’s and her death so she is taking steps to protect Renesmee.

*It wouldn’t be fair to leave you hanging at such a good point in the movie so I will summarize the rest for you. Bella heads back home and packs Renesmee’s bag with the things she got from J. Jenks, clothes, and money and tells Jacob of Alice’s plan. All of the gathered vampires and shape-shifters come together and meet up with the Volturi, who brought along their own witnesses. As the two opposing sides stand facing each other in the open field Jasper and Alice walks up. She goes to Aro and he holds her hand so that he can see what she has seen. Alice reads his mind as well and becomes angry with him because even once he has seen the truth about the child he still won’t back down. She turns around and mouths, “Now”, to the Cullens. Bella tells Jacob to take care of her daughter and he runs off with Renesmee. Alice kicks Aro in the air but he lands on his feet and has Alice and Jasper taken away. Carlisle yells at them to let Alice go and he runs up to save her but Aro runs towards him and rips his head off instantly killing him and Caius burns his body. The fighting between the two sides begins. After most of the Volturi and their witnesses have been injured or killed, Aro is the last one to take care of. Edward and Bella double team him and rip off his head. Just when you think that it’s all over and the Volturi is dead the scene changes back to Aro reading Alice’s mind. You realize that the fight didn’t really happen, it was just Aro seeing what would happen if he fought the Cullens.

Interview Questions

1. Tell us Bella, about the ongoing strife between your now husband, Edward, and your best friend, Jacob?

-Well I’ve known Jacob for a long time and he has always had feelings for me but my feelings for him just haven’t been mutual. So I feel that when I began having feelings and then falling in love with his natural born enemy that just caused him to hate and compete with Edward even more.

2. So Jacob, give us the inside scoop on your continual love for Bella?

-I’ve always had love for Bella. I know that this may sound cliché but, she’s different. She is strong physically, mentally, and emotionally.

3. Edward, how do you stay so calm knowing that Jacob wants Bella and is total against what you two have?

-I have faith in the love that Bella and I share, and I already have Bella, no need to fight someone who wants her. And I’m pretty confidents in my looks if I may say so myself. Hahaha.

4. Bella how greatly has being in love with Edward and him being a vampire affected your life?

-It has changed my life tremendously. I’ve had to make many sacrifices but it has all been worth it.

5. Edward, express to us exactly how you felt when you found out that Bella was pregnant. How about you Jacob?

-I was in complete shock! I didn’t believe that it was possible.

-I was completely angry with Edward and frustrated with Bella for going through with the delivery.

Clarify question.

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 20146. Bella, can you help the viewers and me to somewhat understand why you’re willing to sacrifice everything to become a vampire?

-My love for Edward and is family is so strong and the connection that I have with them is so unbelievable. I feel so alive with them and wanted to be able to be with them forever. I feel that I was meant to be a vampire. Since becoming one, I have never felt more alive!

7. Rose, what about Bella angers you so much?

-I hate her blunt disrespect for mortality. If I could’ve chose to stay mortal, I would have.

8. As Bella’s father, how worried were you about her when you didn’t see or hear from her for so long?

-I was very worried. I already don’t get to see my little girl and then to hear that she is sick and I barely hear from her, I had no way of knowing how she was doing.

9. You don’t care for Edward at all Jacob. Why is that?

-Because he is no good for Bella. He causes so much chaos in her life as well as physical pain. It isn’t safe for them to be together.

10. How were you feeling, Edward when it didn’t look like Bella was going to make it through the delivery? Was all hope lost?

-At first I did feel all hope was lost but for some reason I couldn’t give up. My love for her was too strong to just watch her die.

11. How angered and hurt were you, Jacob, when you thought that you had lost Bella? Who were you angry with?

- I was heartbroken. The woman I loved was, in my mind, killed by the man she loved. I knew Edward was no good for her. He was who I was enraged with.

12. Were you all scared about fighting the Volturi? (referring to the Cullen Family)

- We were not scared about fighting the Volturi if it came to it but it was not in our plan at all. We just wanted to prove ourselves innocent.

Great response from actor’s point of view.

Walton, RochelleProfessor WaldenEnglish 1102February 14, 201413. Why were you all so willing to help the Cullen family fight against the Volturi if it came down to it? (Referring to Quileute tribe and vampire relatives/friends)

- Well any time we can help out an old friend or family member we are willing, as long as it is a good cause. We know that the Cullen family wouldn’t go against the Volturi for the wrong reason. The Volturi were on the wrong side with this. The Cullens were innocent.

14. Jacob, why did you imprint on Renesmee?

- It’s not something that you choose. It is something that just happens as instinct. But from the moment that she was inside of Bella she has been drawn to me, she wanted me around her.

15. Volturi, why were you all so pressed to attack the Cullen family?

- Well we are big on our vampires keeping the law. We cannot afford for our secret to get out. That would be detrimental and the Cullen family has already revealed their identity to a human once before, that just happened to work out well. However, we will not tolerate any more slip ups.

16. Now a questions for our studio audience and viewers at home. How did you all feel during the huge fighting scene at the end of Twilight Breaking Dawn part 2? How did you all feel after you realized it didn’t really occur?

- We felt that all hope was lost and no mercy was going to be shown once the Volturi took off Carlisle’s head. We had no clue what was going to happen next or what would happen to the family. But a total feeling of relief came upon us once we realized it was all a vision. We did not see that coming.
