Thomas C. Foster, in his novel, How to Read Literature Like a Professor, gives many examples of sex being shown symbolically in literature. He imparts in the reader an idea that sex is everywhere in a typical novel, and that many details in a work-- most details, even-- are representative of sex: “Tall buildings? Male sexuality. Rolling landscapes? Female sexuality. Stairs? Sexual intercourse. Falling down stairs? Oh my” (Foster 136). And, yes-- sex is truly everywhere in The Handmaid’s Tale. The importance of sex in the dystopian society known as “Gilead” is huge; sex is what the entire Gileadian regime is based around-- reproduction, more specifically. Symbols of fertility

The author describes the purpose for masking sex scenes in literature is to make it a more symbolic event. Simply describing two people taking part in intercourse does not reveal as much as “hidden” intercourse. The author states that coded sex scenes are “more intense than literal depictions.” This may be due to the fact that the words needed to describe the event taking place would be the most intense words. The scene needs to have the same air and effect that intercourse does. Writers take ordinary everyday events and intensifies them in order to get to the intimate level of intercourse. Literal intercourse in literature does not have the same effect as coded intercourse because everyone expects the intercourse as it already is describing.

The principal reason I wish to be in Advanced Placement English IV is my hankering for a strong education. Advanced Placement English IV is graded on the 5.0 GPA scale, so if I do well in the class my GPA will increase. Advanced Placement English IV would also prepare me for the AP English exam, which, if I do well on, will make me more appealing to any college I apply to. This class would also help me to excel in my education.

When I first entered this class I was not expecting this class to be fun at all. Just graduating from high school and being told that college would be a lot harder than high school, I was expecting the full college experience, in which this class would be boring and full of college work. This class managed to help me see that reading/English class does not always have to be boring and full of essays written about boring books that no one actually read. I have always loved reading and this class just helped me learn how to help others love it too. From the survey I took at the beginning of this year I have not really changed at all, but the way I view things and how I will execute things has changed.

Looking back over my most recent English classes, I have learned many things about me and my writing. The most recent English class I had was English II with Coach Cates my sophomore year. I feel like this class did not help me as much as it could have. Even though I believe I did not get the most out of my most recent English class, I did learn a few things about my writing. My latest English class helped me discover some strengths, weaknesses, and difficulties I have yet to overcome in writing.
