"There was something about the wet, warm feeling of entering a woman's body, however, that had always frightened him. It made him feel that he was being swallowed up, disappearing into something he didn't understand." (p.17)
Chapman is referring to intercourse as a terrifying experience for him. Chapman doesn't seem to enjoy the unknown and finds it utterly frightening as opposed to anything else. The image I chose is of a tornado that is swallowing up everything in its way. The connection I drew between the quote and the image were that they were both swallowing up the unknown. In Champan's situation he was the one being swallowed up and the image is of the tornado swallowing up everything in its way. I imagine, this is what Chapman feel like is taking place with he is having sex.
