Homework#8 Monday

Yes I feel that Foster does have a legitimate argument about sex in literature. Although not as subtle in the Davincii Code Sophie Nevu's father was supposed to meet professor Landon however he was killed and the last thing he did was draw a pinnacle on his chest. The detective that is investigating the case  (also thinks the professor is the killer ) thinks that the pinnacle is a sign of devil worship and conjuring spirits. The professor then explains that it is the symbols for the blade and chalice as talked about in Foster's book blade= manhood used in military for ranks and chalice for womanhood=empty cup=The Holy Grail which he figures out later is somewhat untrue. So overall although this was a more modern book it still had the concept of the sexual element which was able to be explained in an scholarly point of view and lead to an adventure.
