This can relate to Pony since he had to leave his house and went to live in an abandoned church with Johnny while they were running away from the police. Pony and Johnny killed Bob and they were forced to leave their comfort zone just like Adam and Eve, outside their comfort zone they were not protected and could see all…

snake to pick an apple despite God commanding Eve not to do so. Similar to the story from the bible, Gary Soto makes a connection between himself and the first sinners, Adam and Eve, when he quotes, "I knew an apple got Eve in deep trouble with a snake”.

humanity, blameless, as they have no true agency in acting out this punishment. Eve, on the other hand, is tempted by the serpent but it is ultimately her choice to eat the apple in defiance of God’s command, and her choice to convince Adam to join in with her. Adam is equally culpable, however, as he did not try to prevent Eve, or refuse to eat the apple. Humanity is culpable for its own…

Interpretation of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam Based on Neuroanatomy, Dr. Frank Meshberger attempts to show how Michelangelo intentionally painted God and the surrounding angels to represent the exact makeup of the human brain. He presents this in the form of an article in which he shares his arguments and analysis of Michelangelo’s work on the Sistine Chapel. This essay will review Meshberger’s main argument that the painting, the Creation of Adam, is an anatomically correct image of the…

to an extent, it’s not seen as much in Genesis, where the first great sin is punished more harshly than others seem to be. The issue that arises when reading Genesis, and considering Adam and Eve partaking in the fruit from the forbidden tree, is who the fault lies with in terms of initiation.
