Twilight Challenge #46: Motorcycles and Friendship

Welcome to the Twilight Tuesday Inspirational Challenge!

Have you ever worked with someone and an unexpected friendship developed? In New Moon by Stephenie Meyer we watch such a friendship bloom between Bella and Jacob as they rebuild a pair of old motorcycles. I love seeing them change from good acquaintances to having a deep, loving friendship.

I also love hearing about the motorcycles! There is just something them. While the Cullens had their fast cars, Bella and Jacob had their motorcycles!

 

Now for the challenge of the week!

The challenge portion: I am going to do something a little bit different today. You can choose between these 2 challenges:

1. Make a project involving motorcycles.

or

2. Make a project that you work on with a friend.

 

The comment portion: Again you can choose either of these 2 to comment on:

1. Tell us about any motorcycle experience you have!

or

2. Tell us about a friendship of yours that came about from working together.

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #17

Happy Twilight Tuesday!

This week’s challenge is issued by Beth.

Our theme this week is: Jacob Black!

I like Jake.  No secret there.  And it is clear where the lines are drawn in the sand, so to speak, in Twilightville!  Having said that, I invite everyone to objectively think about the character, Bella’s trusted friend, her strength in her weakest hours, her light through her darkest times and her humor on a seemingly humorless day.   Theirs is a special friendship.  My challenge to you is to capture the essence of the special bond in a project of your choosing.

***”Jacob was simply a perpetually happy person, and he carried that happiness with him like an aura, sharing it with whoever was near him. Like an earthbound sun, whenever someone was within his gravitational pull, Jacob warmed them. It was natural, a part of who he was. No wonder I was so eager to see him.” ~Bella, New Moon.***

Comment Portion:  Explain your version of the relationship between he and Bella, or he and the other Quileutes… basically, the essence of Jake. What is the dynamic that draws you in or *GASP* deters you from him. ***note: I don’t intend for this to be a TJ vs TE debate! This is NOT about Edward!*** Do you know someone who is as special as he is to Bella? Does the rebuildng of a car remind you of something or someone? Did someone special teach you to drive (a motorcycle?), or save your life???  et al… Take this any way you want. I just want to see a little puppy love and will abuse my executive power on this one to get it!!!

PS ~ Fear not, Twilighters, it is a common misconception that you must be a card carrying member of Team Jacob to enjoy this character!  This is not so.   I promise.

Don’t forget to visit Twilight Tuesday for Blog Candy and a lively Message Board!
