As far as I can see....

As far as I can see, the whole high school thing is overrated. It's basically a lot of homework with a little drama on the side and hardly and time for *sniff* blogging. So, I decided, to heck with it, I am going to blog any way.

NOW... As was promised, Rose and I will begin our debates about werewolves (or shall we call them shape-shifters? hmmm.... I suppose we will have to settle that later). Today I Alice, will give my opening statement. FYI I am pro-werewolf/shapeshifter and Rose is con.

OPENING STATEMENT:

The bloodline that ultimately led up to Jacob Black and the pack that he considers himself a part of (we are talking of course, pre-BD currently) started with his great-grandfather Ephraim Black. As far back as I, the Cullens, and the communities of Forks are concerned, no problems began to arise with the wolves until the (non-veg) vampires showed up. Even then, the werewolves were only acting as a defense force for the mortals in the Olympic area. They call themselves protectors and protecting is what they ultimately aim to do. The only things that die when they are around are the enemies.


However much Breaking Dawn gave its readers the idea that werewolves in Sam's pack are murders, we must stop and think about the reasons and utter humanness and compassion shown on Sam's part. He only thought of his pack's and the community's safety. Does Bella not also feel vengeful and want to murder Mike or Jacob for example? And yet we do not condemn her for these feelings. On the contrary, we encourage them, telling her to be as human as possible. Is Edward one to overreact strongly? Wanting to kill Jacob for kissing Bella - a situation countless human women have been in, and yet none of their boyfriends feel like wringing the life out of someone with their bare hand. Yet, if I were to say anything negative about Edward in public, I wouldn't put it past every teenage girl in the room to attack me in various ways. Heck, I would do the same if put in their situation.


Though it did seem likely for a while that the pack would attack Bella, did they not stop when one of their own assumed his rightful role to protect the one he loved - even the one he did not yet know he loved. The answer is yes, they did stop. They acted compassionately. The werewolves are not bad. This proves it. Sam's pack outnumbered Jacobs in numerous ways, and yet they prefered to settle their differences with words. THEY DID NOT ATTACK!!
However much the violent nature that young werewolves live with is a part of their actual personalities is debatable. And that is exactly what I am here to do. Jacob is, and continues to be, the living proof that werewolves can coexist with vampires and still do their part as protectors in the community. They can do it. Werewolves are not a bad thing.

As always, I love you guys, our readers are the best,
forever, aliceCULLEN
