The Da Vinci Decoded

Dear Reader,

                One of the most prevalent themes in The Da Vinci Code is love.  It appears throughout the entire book in different forms.  The first type of love will be demonstrated a top ten list of ways to know that you are loved.  These are ways that Sophie Neveu has been loved in the book.  The other type of love will be shown by a recipe, a scene of Robert Langdon talking to his self, and a wanted poster.  The recipe is the things that came together over the story in order for Robert and Sophie to fall in love.  The Robert Langdon talking to himself scene is Robert trying to figure out how to do the right thing.  The wanted post will tell what Sophie did for Robert because she loved him.  Though out this post you will be seeing a few quotations about love, this is the repetend I have used.  The quotes are people thoughts on love.  Love is the theme I have chosen and this blog will support my point.

                                                                                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                                                                                George Simon

Ten ways to know recognize love

1.    When your parents have died they took you in

2.    He would do anything for you

3.    The worst ten years of his life is when he lost contact with you

4.    He cared about so much that he could not do what his only purpose was

5.    He kept you safe at his own risk

6.    He would rather destroy what he has spent his whole looking for than lose you

7.    He trust you to do the most important task the world has ever know

8.    If he spends ten years trying to get you to just talk to him again

9.    In his last minutes of life he thought of you

   10. After he is gone he still finds ways to say I love you

Self

By Robert Langdon

This time I need to do the right thing.  They are counting on me.  Jacques told Sophie to find me for some reason.  I think that part of that is to protect her.  He chose her over the Grail and I am going to do the same thing.  Jacques would have wanted it that way.  Whatever I do I cannot let them get both the grail and the girl.  I need to get this vile open and get the map out.  If I do that then I win twice.  I just pray that whatever ends up happening that Sophie does not get hurt.  I would rather have them take me than Sophie.  I just want this whole thing to be over.  I think Jacques might if had the wrong man for the job tonight.  God just please tell me what to do.  I have no idea.  I just really need your help right now.  Give me the power to do what is right.

“Love is not singular except in syllable.”  ~Marvin Taylor

The reason I have choose these genres is because they are the most effective way to explain my theme of love.  I chose the top ten lists because in the book Sophie and her grandfather have grown apart.  She had lost love for him.  I decided to show ten ways that her grandfather did love her very much.  I chose the recipe to show all of the crazy things that took place in the book.  Each one of them is very important to the story and to the romance between Robert and Sophie.  I chose the wanted poster because throughout the whole book Robert and Sophie are running from the police.  This all came about because to the love that Jacques has for Sophie.  I finally chose the talking to self-scene because many time Robert is saying something and thinking something completely different.  He has many talking to self-type scenes in the book.  I really only experienced one problem throughout the whole project, I had trouble picking tome of the genres from the third column.  I found that picking one of those was very hard.  Other than that I really had no other problems with this project.
