Homework#8 Tuesday

These chapters about sex are completely opposite the first chapter is about how significant yet everyday objects on a book can be a literal "sex symbol".Whereas in the next chapter it describes how a sex scene in a book is a description of something else such as how the main character really feels. I feel that both chapters were of equal importance because both of these helps us to look beneath the surface of what we are really reading. An example of both of these would be Twilight the book. Although Bella and Edward do eventually getting around to having sex Edward feels he is inadequate and is unable to control himself because of his strength. This could also represent that even though he is fairly comfortable with Bella when they are married he still feels like a monster and that he doesn't deserve her. While Edward is gone Bella develops a relationship  with Jacob and he gives her a dream catcher later after Edward comes back and although Edward is friendly about it he can still see ,and it is somewhat implied later that although it doesn't necessarily represent sex Bella is still torn between her love for Edward and her love for Jacob.
