The DaVinci Code Post #2 (WARNING: Spoiler Alert!!!)

Ok, so recently, as I continue to read the book, I've had more suspicions. One suspicion was that Sophie herself was a descendant of Jesus and therefore maybe she was the Grail. Hence her nickname "Princess Sophie" and her grandfather being the grandmaster of the Priory. Although, when Robert mentioned the whole thing about certain last names, I held on to the idea of Sophie being the Grail, but I didn't think about it as much. Tonight, watching a certain episode of The Simpsons, I realized that they had included some similarities to the DaVinci Code. They had Lisa solve an anagram, and included hidden secrets in history about the Church, but what really gave away the fact that they were doing a spoof on the DaVinci Code was when Mr. Burns (a Simpsons' character) made some comment about his assistant being albino (his assistant wasn't actually). This last reference totally confirmed that it was making fun of the DaVinci Code. So, then, Lisa turned out to think that she was the special jewel. Although, of course, Maggie turned out to be the jewel, but I don't think that part had anything to do with the DaVinci Code. But, thanks to The Simpsons, I'm back to my idea that Sophie is actually the Grail. I guess we'll see, because I still don't know for sure. Gotta love The Simpsons, right?!

Davinci Code Post #1 (WARNING: spoiler alert)

     So, I'm more than half way through the Davinci Code, and have some stuff that I think is worth sharing. This post will contain things and discoveries that happened in the book, so if you are opposed to spoilers, do not continue reading. So, Robert and Sophie had just arrived at the bank where Sauniere had led them too. They were desperately thinking about the account code he set and what it might have been. At this point, I was thinking along with them and thinking about any clues Sauniere might have left including numbers. And immediately I thought, THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE. And I was right about this being the account number. I thought it was cool that I proved to be slightly smarter than them at figuring that out. Later in the book, where I am now, I reached the conclusion before them too. Robert just popped the rose out of the box containing the keystone, and for the first time the reader gets to see the writing on the inside. Robert thinks its another language, but I knew different. When I first picked up the book before reading it, I noticed that there was a handwritten font on the cover crossing the Mona Lisa's face. I looked closer, and after a few seconds realized it was written BACKWARDS. I deciphered the first three words and then gave up, and read further in the book. When I reached this point where we see the writing for the first time, I recognize it immediately. I knew immediately that it was written backwards. I stopped reading and held the page up to the light to confirm my suspicions, and sure enough I could read it. It WAS written backwards. A few minutes later, I got the idea to hold the cover up to the mirror and found that, as I suspected, the writing on the front was the same as the backwards writing in the book. So, yet again, I figured out one of the clues before the characters in the book did. I absolutely love when that happens, when I can figure it out before they do. I've also been dog-earing (folding over) the pages in the book that I have thoughts or suspicions about. I don't really believe in annotating, so I do this instead. And as I continue reading I hope to find more clues that the characters didn't catch earlier in the book.... Yes, I thought this was all worth posting.

Book #1

The Davinci Code by Dan Brown
    I just started the book, and am not very far, but I just wanted to post an update that, yes, I have in fact chosen a book to read. I've heard a lot about this book, and how good it is. I'm excited to get into it. I actually was going to start reading it anyways, before this whole assignment, because my dad read it and recommended it to me. So, now, before I can do anything else, I kinda have to get further in the book...

Wait, what was the homework again?!

      So, in English class, we have this homework assignment. We kind of have to write a book blog. If you're reading this at this point, you're probably in my class and probably already know that, but, if you didn't know, this is a class book blog. And, I will be posting little comments and opinions about books that I'm reading. So far, I'm not reading anything, but I'll start a book soon, and then, hopefully, there will be more posts on this web page. For now, just enjoy the view and go do something while I try to pick a book to read...
