Day 17
Chapter 13: Newborn
This chapter is mainly about Mr. Jasper Whitlock… Our favorite Texan Vampire! At this point we’ve heard about most of the Cullen’s back story. In most cases their pasts were vague, and in one (Alice) completely oblivious. Our question for you today is…
Would you rather remember your human life after becoming a vampire, or would you rather forget?
Kallie’s Answer: That’s a tough one! I would want to remember my family, but I would miss them over time if I was changed against my will! So, if I had a choice, I would want to remember!
That’s a great question. I would like to remember because I don’t want to be like Alice, looking for my past throughout my vampire life. I’d have a future, but paranoia would gnaw at me because I’d be constantly wondering, “is this the real me? Who was I as a human?” The pro to forgetting is starting over. You might have friends like Bella did (the Cullens) who could remind you of who you were, but it’s not quite the same. So I would definitely want to remember by human life, just because I know how paranoid and curious I would be. Plus, I’m not a really troubled person so I don’t really feel the need to have to forget anything horrible that happened in my life or anything. I’m very blessed in that way.
remember! i would hate forgetting who i am…
That is a great question. I would rather remember, because I would really be upset as a vampire, if I ended up killing or making a family member or friend if they were just strangers to me. How horrible for them as well.
Yes, I agree with Kimi;’s post that like Alice not knowing my past would drive me crazy as well.
i would want to remember both lives
I pretty much agree with all of the above. Yes, forgetting has its benefits, but I think that remembering who you are and where you come from are a huge part of each of these characters, even Alice. Alice may not remember anything, but we know that she wishes she did. Carlisle had a tender heart and therefore became a doctor; Esme just wanted to be a mother and now she is; Rosalie was obsessed with being the best and more beautiful and now she is…each character has a trace of who they used to. I would hate to not know who I am and where I come from, even if I knew that I could never have that life again.
