Eclipse

"The urge to fight must be a defining characteristic of the Y chromosome. They were all the same." (Meyer 463)
I thought this was such a funny quote when i read it. It is a sarcastic comment that I think nicely stereotypes men without saying it directly. I kind of agree with this quote becuase boys, throughout childhood tend to be a lot more aggresive and in contact with each other than girls. Granted some are not but the majority are. And when I read this part of the book I could clearly understand why Bella would say this because there is a battle going on and none of the "boys" even old men could stay away from the battle. They all needed to take part in it somehow.
