    Finally, the boys supposedly leave the island towards the end of the novel just as Adam and Eve have to leave the Garden of Eden (Spitz 28). In Genesis 3, after “the eyes of both of them were opened”, Adam and Eve “realized they were naked” and hide in shame from God (New International Version, Genesis 3:7-8). Subsequently, God discovers Adam and Eve, “banished them from the Garden of Eden” for their sin, and pessimistically ends the story of the Fall with a death sentence for humans: “for dust…

    Satan is to blame for giving humans temptations but it is their fault for giving into those temptations. There is an excellent example even back in the biblical times: the Garden of Eden story. Eve blamed the snake for convincing her to take the forbidden fruit and Adam blamed Eve for giving him the forbidden fruit. Nobody forced either of them to eat it, they did it upon their own free will. Adam and Eve gave into their sinful…

    child. In the beginning of A Summer Life, Gary Soto reveals that he has a religious background by quoting that “he knew enough about hell” and that he “was holy in almost every bone”. In addition to his religiously influenced statements, he also states “angels flopping”. The recurrence of allusions from the bible in the introductory passage emphasizes that Soto knew about God and therefore, the consequences of sin even at a young age.

    Eve and Pandora share the role of “The First Woman.” Likewise, they are both depicted as giving in to temptation, thus bringing suffering into the world. However, these two figures have stark contrasts between one another that reveal the views of their respective cultures’ towards women, god, and the world around them. I will begin by comparing major elements of both story. In Genesis, Eve is personally created by God, and born from Adam’s rib. In contrast, Pandora’s creation is delegated by…

    which means that it is composed of two separate entities that come together to form a whole, and Dunnum’s argument often relies on the works of Louis Althusser to expand on the system itself. One half of the system is external, or the Repressive State Apparatus (RSA) as Dunnam explains, which are in this case the laws overtly given and enforced through fear of violence and harsh punishment. The other half is internal,…

    seems fateful for women to hold secondary positions to men in the greater power scheme of human society. In as early as recordings from the Book of Genesis, God used the clay from the earth to create the first man, Adam, and placed him in the heavenly Garden of Eden. Seeing Adam’s need for help, God took a rib out of the man and made a woman called Eve for him.
