Josh’s comments from the Edward vs. Jacob group.

Ya, you are probably right. Bella probably will end up with Edward. But that will really suck. For me, Jacob is the character I identify with most. I hope it will be him and Bella but it probably wont be. But you have got to admit that I had some pretty good arguments.

Sorry if that last comment confused you. It was kind of complicated. But I am still right. Jacob is by far and forever will be the better choice.

And, if Stephenie Meyer gives her fans exactly what they want (i.e. Bella and Edward get married and live happily ever after) then the books will become nothing more than candy in the literary world. For a book to be deep and meaningful, it has to be realistic on an emotional level. It has to be happy, sad, loving, hateful, pleasurable and agonizing. If there is no emotional sacrifice for the characters and so in turn for the readers who love them, then the books will have no depth, no meaning on a personal level. People will read the books and say "Oh, that was such a good book!" But then they will forget all about them and go on with their lives because the book will be nothing more than brain candy. That satisfies for a while, but its not good enough for readers to thrive on. For those of you who are so in love with Edward, there is no emotional sacrifice for you if they end up together. When all is said and done, the books wont mean so much to you. For those of us who are cheering for Jacob, for me at least, there will be emotional sacrifice. I love the Cullens. I think Edward is awesome. It will be sad if Bella doesn't choose Edward. But the right choice is still Jacob!

Not all of her fans want Edward! I don't! Besides all the fans who do want Edward just don't know what they really want. Jacob deserves Bella more than Edward ever could.

Jacob is coming back! Besides, it would be so predictable and boring if Bella ends up with Edward. Stephenie Meyer is not a poor writer, but to do the predictable thing is poor writing.

If Edward is as perfect as you all say, Edward would forgive Bella.

The Cullens are so awesome! they are the biggest reason that it would be so sad if Bella doesn't end up with Edward. But the wolf pack is cool in its own way, and who says Bella has to give up the Cullen family if she chooses Jacob?

A quick not on Bella's ultimate happiness.
If Bella ends up with Jacob, she wont have to give up the sun she loves so much. (I can relate to that) She wont have to give up her family, and she can have a family of her own. She cant have any of that with Edward.
Still I will feel bad for Edward and and Alice and Emmit but Jacob is worth it.

Another argument for Jacob.
Jacob might not be as wonderful as Edward in a great many ways. But he is greater in some very important ones. Jacob is Bella's "sun." He lifted her from her depression when no one else could. He is Bella's greatest friend, and he would stand by her no matter what. Sacrifice everything for her. Who cares if he is not as beautiful as Edward? He is Native American and thats cool. Besides Werewolves are awesome.

As a guy reading these books, i instantly fell in love with Bella. She is beautiful, funny, and all her clumsy imperfections only make her a thousand times more attractive. (well as attractive as a fictional character can get) I, in the depths of my heart don't want her to become a vampire! Vampires are awesome and all, but if Bella becomes a vampire, she will become an ice cold, stone solid beauty. She will not be warm. She will not be charmingly flawed. she will not be clumsy. she will not be Bella! If she gets with Edward, vampire is the only option for her future!

Jacob and Bella!!!
Yes i know that Edward is perfect and wonderful and all that. It would be a terrible shame if they didn't make it. That would be sad, truly it would. But Bella really needs Jacob much more. Jacob is warm, Edward is cold. Jacob is much more humanly flawed true, but stone cold perfection isn't all its cracked up to be.
