Jacobs Perspective

In the book I’m reading right now, Breaking Dawn, many things have happened. Every character in the book all have very different perspectives on the situation right now. Bella has a best friend that is a werewolf named Jacob Black. I’ve decided to talk about his perspective on the situation right now because his really touched me. Jacob Black is a werewolf and it’s a very religious thing in his town. His family are really good friends with Bella’s and in the second book called New Moon they really connected with each other. Jacob even fell in love with Bella, but Bella could not return the feelings because her love for Edward was so strong. It really crushed Jacob when Bella got pregnant and was on the verge of death. Jacob thought she was his first and only true love, and it hurt him so badly when he saw her there lying on the couch, looking like she was going to die every other second. What I’m really enjoying in Breaking Dawn is that Jacob is getting closer with the Cullen family, and there all starting to become the best of friends. Of course Jacob thought this was impossible, knowing that vampires and werewolf’s strongly despised each other. But Jacob knew that he had to become friends with the bloodsuckers(the Cullen family, in his words) in order to see Bella. Everyone knew that Jacob was strongly in love with Bella especially Edward. He could see it, and it hurt him because he thought that Bella might of have fallen in love with him as well. Jacob was very confused because he didn’t know exactly how he felt. When you become a werewolf, something happens to you, its called imprinting. Imprinting is when a werewolf automatically falls in love with someone and you cant stay away from them and there your top priority. Jacob didn’t imprint on Bella, and that’s why he was so confused. He felt so strongly about her but he knew that he hadn’t imprinted on her, and he didn’t know why. When Bella gave birth to a girl named Renesme, she was the most beautiful little girl anyone has every seen, she was perfect in everyway, and even to Jacob. Renesme was half vampire and half human being, she was one of a kind. Jacob had this urge that he had to be with her at all times, and cared about her so much, he didn’t know why. Until he found out that he had imprinted on her. When I read that he had imprinted on her, I freaked out, I couldn’t believe it at first, I literally had to close my book and think it through, it was the biggest shock of the book yet, No one in the book could believe it either but it happens, once you’ve imprinted there’s no going back. He was surprised that he imprinted on a little baby girl, Bella was furious because she thought that Jacob would do something with her. She was wrong, all Jacobs intentions with her was that he wanted to be her best friend and be like an older brother until she turned his age then he would make a move. Werewolf’s don’t age so, he had all the time in his life to be with her. A lot of readers did not like Jacob for this reason, they thought he was a freak for imprinting on a little girl. I thought different. I was extremely happy that he had imprinted on her, he finally found his place in the world and he found out the reason he was here today, was to be with Renesme. When he imprinted on Renesme, his perspectives on vampires changed that second. He was truly fond of them, and found out that he shouldn’t of have listened to his pack, (the other werewolf’s). He was family to the Cullen’s now, and was extremely appreciative. He learnt that you can’t judge, and follow what other people say. You have to go with what your heart speaks and that’s how he found his true love Renesme, He also learnt that rules are meant to be broken, and you just have to follow your heart no matter what it feels. Enemies are only enemies if you chose for them to be.
