Phenomenon

What is chapter three mainly about?

After Bella is nearly hit by the van, she asks Edward how he got over to her so fast and he says he was standing right next to her.

When Bella insists that she remembers that Edward was standing far away, how does Edward respond?

When Bella confronts Edward again about his seemingly superhuman feats, he says, "No one will believe you." How does Bella respond?

Renee is worried about Bella's accident and asks her to come home to Phoenix.

Why doesn't Bella want to leave Forks?

Look at the section near the beginning of chapter three where Bella thinks about how it would be best to avoid Edward Cullen. Stephenie Meyer writes, "I was still frightened of the hostility I sometimes felt emanating from him…"

In this context, what does "emanating" mean?

Look at the section of chapter three right after Bella's accident. Bella narrates, "I tuned him out to consider the jumble of inexplicable images churning chaotically in my head."

In this context, what does "inexplicable" mean?

Look at the section where Edward walks to Bella's bed in the emergency room and says, "…I came to spring you."

In this context, what does "spring" mean?

Were there any events that weren't clear to you?
