Eclipse

The competition between Edward and Jacob only heats up in Eclipse. Bella is preparing to graduate high school and change into a vampire forever. Edward is encouraging his girlfriend to wait a while longer before making such a final transformation into a "monster" like him. And a third party has entered into the relationship with them. Jacob Black, knowing that Bella's human days are drawing to a close, decides to make his final move to secure Bella for his own. Eclipse is two supernatural boys fighting over one ordinary girl. Now, that's a good story, folks.

In this chapter, we will begin to pick out the paint colors for our house. Will you go with the sunny and warm colors of the wolf pack or the serious, dark colors of the vampire coven? Bella is faced with a choice in this book. Eclipse is a summary of Bella’s maturation process throughout the Twilight series. When I first read Eclipse, I wanted to hit Bella upside the head with the hard cover of my book. Her immaturity and indecisiveness drove me crazy. When I read Eclipse for the second time, I saw how beautifully Stephenie Meyer painted a picture of transition from adolescence to adulthood. For Bella to fully understand her decision of vampire conversion, she must face every choice that will be denied in the human life. It is easy for us as readers to think of this story as something similar to our own romantic relationships. Eclipse pushes this love story farther into the fantasy realm so we can see the down sides in this make-believe relationship between Bella and Edward. The main theme from Ephesians that can be found in Eclipse is power. Like the power found in this fantasy series, Ephesians 3 shows that God’s power is greater than anything we have ever known. God has a plan that grows into full maturation with Paul and his ministry.
