Oodles of Odd's

Everyone has to overcome odds at some point in their life to move forward. In Stephanie Meyer's, Eclipse, the main characters overcome more than their share of odds. First of all, Edward Cullen, the handsome vampire in love with a mortal, has to overcome the day by day battle not to succumb to his instinct temptations and suck his girlfriends blood. The two cannot kiss, hug, or even be in close proximity to each other without the risk of Edward losing control. Another issue the two have to constantly overcome is their differing opinions on the issue of Bella transforming into a vampire and also her friendship with Jacob, a young werewolf. Edward, on one hand, cannot stand the thought of separating Bella from her soul just so that he can live forever with her, and he also disapproves of her intermingling with his born enemy, the werewolf clan. He believes that Bella is in danger every second she spends with her werewolf friends because they have very little control over where and when they transform into ferocious monsters capable of killing almost anything. However, in truth it is almost the same amount of risk for Bella to be spending time around blood thirsty vampires, than a clan of uncontrolled werewolves.
