8. They have to choose the correct grail because only people of true faith in Jesus and the Cristian religion can be able to pick the correct grail. People who are just looking for it for immortality are finding it for all the wrong reasons.
9. I think the grail is to remain behind the seal because if it got out then everyone would be able to get their hands on it. The quest for the grail would not exist anymore. People would rob and kill whoever possessed the grail and many would use it for personal gains. The grail ends up lost because once it left the seal the temple started to collapse. Either no one was getting out or the grail would have to remain behind. It will always be that unnobtainable object.

Small World day 4
Has Perrse completed his quest?
Persse's ending to the story is just upsetting. The fact that he ended up sleeping with Lily instead of Angelica just shows all he saw was an image. If he had gotten to know either one of them he would have had a clue on who is Angelica and who is Lily when he heard they were twins. He never really progresses throughout the story. Once he finds out that Angelica is engaged to the man he replaced for the teaching job, he decides he should go around chasing Cheryl Summerbee. He has the same train of thought through the whole story even though he is the main focus. He seems to be on a continuous quest for relations with women though he is supposed to be an educator. It seems that his life will just keep repeating the same storyline even beyond the novel.

small world day 3
Will Persse's quest to find Angelica be completed or is she just the mystery grail that can only be persued and never found?
While the story relatesto the grail quest I do not think that Angelica is a impossible character to reach. If Persse is trying this hard he is bound to come up and find her somewhere. Unlike Chretien's story David Lodge has completed his story so there has to be an ending. I think Persse will find Angelica but I dont think he is going to come up with the answers he wants to find. The grail is just an object and as far as Persse knows so is Angelica. Without getting to know her he will not really end his quest.
How do you feel about the affair between Swallow's affair with Joy?
I think the relationship between these to though real should have been put to rest along with the plane crash. All the emotions of being reunited after all this time has fueled Swallow to cheat plus being all over the world going to conferences can keep it alive. I feel he is in it for all the wrong reasons.
