Harry Potter vs Twilight

Reasons why Bella is a TERRIBLE role model! 1. She's not very nice to new people: When Bella starts her new life in Forks, she's worried that she'll fit in. However the entire student body is nice to her, Eric and Mike offer to help her to find class's, Jessica and her friends invite her to sit with them everyone goes out of their way to make her feel accepted. How does Bella react to this? WITH DISTAIN!! She doesn't even know these people yet she labels Eric and Mike as overly helpful, and Jessica as a whiny, shallow nuisance- FOR NO REASON AT ALL!! Honestly if anyone gave me the treatment that Bella got I would be eternally grateful to them! 2. She ditches EVERYTHING for a freaking guy. We get it-Edwards hot. He's also charming, intelligent, and totally into Bella. None of this, however, justifies Bella literally dropping everything and everyone from her life the moment he walks into it. FRIENDS ? She doesn't need them. Extra curricular activities?? Nah! She's to busy with the vampire making horrible analogies in the middle of a forest. Any other interests other than snogging a 100-year old man trapped in a 17 year olds body? NOPE 3. She thinks that life is not worth living without this so called boy: When Edward ditched her in New Moon she literally FALLS.APART. We can understand this to some extent, we've all had our hearts broken and it does indeed suck. But months and months later Bella is STILL walking around in a zombified state, risking her life to 'hear' Edwards voice. What sort of message does that give to girls reading the book??? That life is not worth living without the guy who dumped you? YEAH COOL, GOOD ONE. Oh. And one more thing. Bella seems vaguely surprised that she's not welcomed back with open arms of Jessica / Mikes friend group after Eddie boy effs off- despite the fact that she ignored them/ looked down on them/ treated them like totally crap while he's around. Shocker."' 4.She's SO NEGATIVE!! If you think about it all she ever does is whine. About the weather. About Edward. About Charlie. About her age. About Jacob liking her. About Jacob not liking her. About college. Thank God she had no friends otherwise she would probably depress the heck out of them too. 5.She's OBSESSED with appearance: She may scoff at people wearing makeup and guys constantly falling at her feet. But that exactly our point- She's obsessed with Edwards attractiveness and her perceived lack of it. All she ever talks about is his perfect marble features and face 'carved by angels' Do we ever hear her giving a crap about his smart mouth or intelligence?? Rarely, if ever. It's all about the bronze hair and fit bod for Bella. 6. She's an ungrateful so and so: She hates getting presents, hates surprises, hates people doing nice things for her- she makes it worse by showing people this hatred which makes them feel bad.

We all knew that Bella was going to choose Edward in the end because she kept telling Jacob," He was always the one." You've made a bunch of argument points about how the love story is awful in Harry Potter. Just because Ginny doesn't make out with Harry a week after they meet doesn't mean there's no love story. If you read the book(which I doubt you have) you would know that the relationship between all the characters grow throughout the book. A character doesn't have to get f*cked up in the 4tg book for there to be a love story. The comment you made about Harry f*cking up Ginny after getting friend zoned is 1. Wrong and 2. Hypocritical. 1. Harry and Hermione NEVER had a romantic relationship in the first place!!! They were friends. And last time I checked Ginny and Harry got married and then had kids when they were ready. Not just as 18 year olds that forgot to use protection like Edward and Bella. 2. What about Jacob? He falls in love with a freaking BABY after getting friend zoned by Bella. And not just any baby, IT WAS BELLA'S VAMPIRE BABY. I wonder how much fun he'll have explaining that to Bella's DAUGHTER when she goes up. There are other things in life then finding a love interest and HP focuses on that. HP goes through Harry's life and his life choices. You connect with Harry and can relate to most of his issues/ hesitancies. In Twilight all there is, is a live story. If you want to connect with Bella, the only way you can is to move to a rainy city and get a love story. If you take the love story out of HP you still have a boy who has to defeat evil and the powerful/emotional journey he goes through in his life. If you take the love story out of Twilight you have a girl who moves to a rainy city. Just keeping a secret doesn't mean your brave. You have to do other things too and be courageous. Bella had PLENTY of chances to stand up for Herself emotionally and physically,, but all she did was sit on the sidelines. Heroes are just ordinary people who do extraordinary things with their Life. I do agree that Voldemort is a brave character. And Ron and everyone else in the series. I never said they werent. They were brave, and courageous. They stood up for what they believed in weather others thought it was good or bad. That's what true bravery is. Keeping secrets is one of then, but you have to do much more. Voldemort, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Tonks, etc. Are great examples of this. They did didn't care what others thought of them......they did what they thought was right in their hearts!! Bella........followed everything that Edward did. She decided she wanted to be a vampire days after she even know they existed. BY THE WAY- You know the other person you argued with about this same topic earlier this week? PercyJacksonisdabest?Yeah....that was one of my BFF's from school so....*sticks tongue out at you*
