Clashing Concepts

While Alice the vampire was staying with Bella and her father it was almost impossible for Bella's new best friend, Jacob, to visit because of the simple fact that he is a werewolf, and therefore the sworn enemy of all vampires. Jacob grew very angry at Bella when he first smelled a vampire around her house, and she defended Alice, knowing that she meant no harm. Jacob no longer seems to understand that there is a difference between vammpires, just like humans. He only sees the evel in them and that makes it very hard for him to be with Bella, as a friend or any other way, simply because she was once in love with a vampire herself (and still is). Alice agreed to stay with Bella and Mr. Swan only after Bella endlessly begged her not to go, and after a particularly emotional conversation with Mr. Swan regarding Bella's health after Edward left. These last few chapters have realy displayed the idea that perception molds opinions, just as Jacob percieves all vampires to be evil, he believes that Alice is evil as well.
