walking through acres of fruit trees “We walked with an accustomed tread through the acres of fruit trees, where the least energetic could find an easy if unsatisfying meal" (Golding, 50). The Bible has a similar section to it where God speaks to Adam and Eve, and says "I have proclaimed all kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat; but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food" (Genesis 1.29-30). The fruit trees on both islands,…

Bowen’s Family Systems theory (BFST) attempts to explain human behavior as it relates to family dynamics and its complex interconnections. Reading Genesis chapters one through four, I identified four of eight BFST concepts that can be applied to “The First Family”: (a) triangles concept, (b) nuclear family concept, (c) emotional cutoff, and (d) sibling position. According to BFST, the triangle concept refers to three individuals that are in some way connected to each other, be it biological…

The Lord of the Flies Published in 1954, The Lord Of the Flies was written by William Golding and soon after its publishing, became a significant part of American literature. Golding wrote and got got published the novel when working as a teacher. Prior to his teaching career, Golding was involved in the Vietnam War, an experience that influenced many of the darker aspects of his novels. His main inspiration for Lord of the Flies, however, came when he, “[...] felt compelled to write about man’s…

interpretations of the poem. Sometimes the historical context in which Milton was writing is lost on critics and they read the text in terms of events going on today rather than when Milton was writing.

First and foremost, to be able to enter Adam and Eve’s house, you must be ready to lay down your life and open your hands. ‘’add quote’’. With or without a hero, opening up to access Heaven, is purely personal and cannot be influenced by someone else. In this situation a hero would not be required…

While in the Garden of Eden, God tells Adam and Eve that they have complete domain over the garden, with the exception that they may not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:16-17) When Adam and Eve disobey God and eat from the tree, God punishes them severely, cursing Eve to suffer great pains in childbirth, and cursing Adam to toil over the Earth to feed them. (Genesis 3:16-19) God also banishes Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, saying that they have become…

In my opinion the show as a whole, was successful. Searching for Eden: The diaries of Adam and Eve follows the first couple as they struggle to find their way, not only in life but in their relationship. We watch as they stumble and fall, come back together, and rediscover a lost love that they had forgotten long ago, along with their precious memories of the Garden of Eden. James Still’s adaptation on the well-known play by Mark Twain brings us a beautiful romantic tale, that makes us laugh,…

limits of (space, scope, quantity, or time). Confinement ties to Satan’s perspective of the Garden of Eden because he feels as if he does not belong. The book portrays jealousy from Satan since Adam and Eve live royally in Paradise. Because Adam and Eve live like kings/queens, sin rises to make a strike within Adam and Eve, forcing them to eat from the tree of knowledge as Satan continues to disturb God’s work. Like a prison, hell is seen as a factory full of ungrateful and menacing angels…
