Carlisle

What is chapter sixteen mainly about?

How did Edward justify feeding on humans?

What does Alice suggest they do that evening?

Look at the section of chapter sixteen where Edward describes why Carlisle studied medicine. Stephenie Meyer writes, "[he] found his calling, his penance, in that, saving human lives."

In this context, what is the definition of "penance"?

Look at the section near the end of chapter sixteen where Alice comes and sit in Edward's room. The author writes, "…she folded herself sinuously onto the floor."

In this context, what does "sinuously" mean?

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