I just read Chapter 16 and "wow" that was awkward. I can't really describe my feeling reading that chapter, so I'm just going to say it was awkward. Chapter 16 is about sex in literature. I have no idea that there's sex in literature. I mean everyone has their own "fantasies" but I didn't expect literature writers would really talk about it because they just don't look like they would talk about sex. I learned a lot of things in this chapter like reading sex in a "clean way." The quote, "Every American should know enough signify, and to blush when stand exactly what keys and locks signify, and to blush when they're referred to," made me realize sex. I mean, I get what they're saying when the "sex" topic is brought in but if they didn’t literally say it's about sex, I wouldn't get it at all. Get what I'm saying? That's part of the reason why sex is coded in literature. So that way they could protect the innocent ones.
