Analysis Of A Beautiful Day In The Garden Of Eden

Decent Essays
It was a beautiful day in the Garden of Eden. Even more beautiful than usual, seeing as every day was perfect. The sun was shining brightly down on the inhabitants of the garden. There were animals of all kinds, plants of every color and most importantly of all, there was Adam. Adam was my favorite being to watch in the garden. He spent a lot of time tilling the ground around me, caring for me and the many other plants growing. He enjoyed lounging beneath the shade of my branches. I loved his company.
"Good morning to my favorite tree!" sang Adam, "It 's a wonderful day, isn 't it?"
Adam hummed happily to himself as he tended to the soil around me. Always making sure I had enough water and that the dirt had enough nutrients.
"I think I will watch the clouds

You must lead her here to eat the fruit off my branches."
"How will that rid the garden of Eve?" he asked.
"She believes it will kill her. God has told me that is not actually the case." The serpent 's eyes lit up.
"What will happen then?" Good question.
"She will gain knowledge that God wishes she doesn 't have." I said, "God will not be happy with her. He will throw her out of the garden because that is not what she is here for. She is here to obey Adam. We must prove that she is no good for Adam. I am what 's good for Adam."
"I like the way you think, Tree. I like the way you think." I could see the excitement in the serpent 's eyes. The plan was set. All that was left was to lure Eve over and have her be gone for good. The serpent slithered away to find her as I waited patiently, hoping that my fruit was to be extra delicious looking that day.

It was nearing sundown. Adam and Eve were on a leisurely stroll through the garden of Eden as they often did before the sun set. Adam couldn 't keep his eye off of Eve. She was just too beautiful.
"Have I told you how much I adore you?" Adam said to his wife. "I would do anything for you."
"And I for you, my dear." replied

    kay, so now we know about timshel, but it's also Adam's last word before he dies (at least it wasn't something totally random like rosebud). He says it right after Lee gets him to give Cal his blessing, i.e. show that he loves him as a son and free him from the guilt of "killing" his brother. It's a moment where things are at a crossroads for Cal: he could go on hating himself for what he has done and thinking that his dad died hating his guts, or he can be free and go on to break the Cain-Abel curse that seems to follow the Trask family around. As Lee says to Adam, "Give him his chance"…

    Can violence ever be rationalized? This proposition is in East of Eden, written by John Steinbeck, but also presents itself in life.

Eve forced herself to fight through the exhausting battle in her mind, picked herself up, and chose to keep caring for Adam. Keep in mind how easy it would have been for Eve to be angry at Adam for blaming her, and she could have simply given up and cried for help just like Adam did. However, I wanted Eve to be strong in this story. Eve ignored her fears and said “I felt as if everything was my fault, and it was my responsibility to take care of Adam and myself.”…

    Every Christmas Eve our family gathers around the coffee table in our apartment in New York City. During the day we go to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and buy chocolate candies from the Greenwood Pastry on the corner. Uncle Riley leads the way as we walk the streets until the light begins to fade between the office towers and the crippled gargoyles forever perched on the corners of the buildings that illuminate a golden age gone by. We laugh together and reminisce about the previous Christmases we have spent together. The elevator seems quieter on these nights, almost as if it has a respect for the holiday, but I know it’s just because we’re all crammed in there together.…

    In the beginning, God gave man free will. Every human had the chance to choose good or evil, but more importantly than that, each had the choice to define what was good and what was evil. But humans, they had a tendency to polarize the world into what is right, what is wrong, what can, and what cannot be done. Here is man’s problem: Timshel, the idea that humans are not predestined and right and wrong are not stagnant, was replaced by strict mundane social and political constructs which inhibit free will and self-determination. In East of Eden, through a positive representation of non-traditional relationships, demonstrated by Adam and Lee in combination with the negative traditional relationship of Adam and Cathy, John Steinbeck emphasizes…
