However, unlike the previous chapter, which discussed the presence of sex embodying itself in various forms, chapter seventeen indicates that definitive mentionings to sex in reality signify everything but the act itself. This is evident in the ways female writers such as Angela Carter employ sex as a way to undermine and reflect upon the precepts of a patriarchal world by “attempt[ing] to discover paths by which women can attain standing in the world that male-dominated society has largely denied them . . .” (107). This deliberate attempt is indicative of Grandpa’s sexual relationship with Grandma; as sex in their…

    My initial response to this assignment was to simply type "YA Lit" into Google, go to the 20th page, and choose a few websites to use. However, upon doing that, I discovered that not only does Google stop being effective after that many pages in the sense that it lists clickbait articles, but also that a more specific term is needed to actually get a list of quality websites that focus on the topic of Young Adult Literature. Two terms that I found were more specific were "YAL blogs" and "YAL directory". These aren't more complicated than simply searching YAL by any means, but they do narrow the results one gets.…
