tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." (NIV, Genesis 2:15-17) Seeing that Adam was alone, God used Adam’s rib to create Eve. A serpent then comes to Eve and tempts her to eat from the forbidden trees. She knows what God said but the fruit looks so delicious she ate from it and gave some to Adam, “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it” (Genesis 3:6). The “Goblin Market” is similar to story of Adam and Eve. The poem begins with “Goblins” trying to entice the women to: Come buy our orchard fruits, Come buy, come buy: Apples and quinces, Lemons and oranges, Plump unpeck 'd cherries, Melons and raspberries, Bloom-down-cheek 'd peaches, Swart-headed mulberries, Wild free-born cranberries… (3-11) The list goes on with all tasty fruits to tempt the women and day after day Laura and Lizzie ignore the calls of the men. Laura also warns Lizzie and Lizzie warns Laura to not look at the goblin men and they must not buy their fruits. Lizzie even has to cover her ears to not give into the temptation. Lizzie does not trust herself in the situation and runs home with Laura. However, one day Laura decides one day to try the men’s fruit. She is described as “sweet-tooth Laura” (115). She has no money to buy the fruit so the men decide to take her…

It was around that time they found a five acre piece of land in southeast Chandler that was a raw piece of land with nothing but a travel trailer to live in. There was no running water, and the land did not have a septic tank, so the water line had to be brought down to the end of the street. Sarah lived there, except for a brief period, until she was married at age 31. From the travel trailer, they moved into to a two bedroom mobile home, to which her dad added an addition to include an extra…
ringed by chairs, slurping coffee as she thumbed through The Covert Times. The room was small, and morning sunshine streamed through a window over the sink, throwing such pale pink light everywhere that the yellow walls seemed almost orange. With the teal cupboards, black appliances, and red pantry door, the room had this kind of weird fun house effect going on. I took a seat across from her. She had made breakfast—nothing fancy, but my favorites, blueberry waffles and a bowl of fresh…
