The Rose Garden

This poem reminds me of the Adam and Eve story in the bible, both of these stories has a lesson that’s being taught. In the Adam and Eve story the lesson is being taught to those who reads the bible to not allow the Satan to convince you to go against God’s will and in the Goblin’s Market the lesson is being taught to women. When writing this poem Rossetti was trying to target women in general as you see in the poem. In this poem Rossetti did not only present a religious theme she presented an…

Through all of its twists and turns, Milton’s Paradise Lost helps us discover many things about its characters from a different perspective than we are used to. Watching the world from Satan's eyes, we see the world "for what it is", helping us to better understand the Fall of Mankind. Even more interesting, however, is that gender bias makes up so much of that story. Milton's depiction of gender roles in Paradise Lost highly influenced the plot, characterization, and major themes of the poem.…

alienation started in the Garden of Eden and affects man’s relationship with God, the garden, the people, and the land. Genesis, the first book of the Bible, begins with God’s amazing creation of the world. The first two chapters are about God’s detailed creation of light, animals, plants, land, stars, and most importantly mankind. He found it all good like it says in Genesis 1:31a, “And God saw everything…

Why is the most traveled road evil? People are constantly led into evil temptation every day of their lives and have the opportunity to give in. Although, people possess the power of free will by making the choice to give into evil temptations or to do good. A common factor in giving into evil ways comes from peer pressure. In Genesis, Satan pressures and persuades Eve into eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge. “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be…

Throughout the book of Genesis, there were several instances where God encouraged the humans to work together and prosper; however, in the story of the Tower of Babel, God thwarted the plans of the people. They disobeyed God’s orders, so He punished them for what they had done. God did this to fulfill his original plan. This is one of the first instances where God basically contradicts something He has previously said to do. The Tower of Babel was not only a sin against God, but also the cause…

events that surround the characters of A Separate Peace. The story of Adam and Eve is quite simple; God created a man named Adam and gave him a wife by taking one of Adam’s ribs to form her. God also gave Adam and Eve all the animals, along with the Garden of Eden. The only rule that they had to follow was that they could not eat the fruit…

In Adam, Eve, and the Serpent, Elaine Pagels discusses sexual relationships, and gender roles and to how they have been influenced by the bible passage of Adam and Eve. Pagels uses historical information to justify her argument. She argues that the Christian views on sexuality have been strongly influenced as the Christians want from being persecuted to the official religion of emperors. These views changed as people interpreted the story of Adam and Eve and used their interpretations as grounds…

disobedience, to God’s commanded for Adam not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge, crushed paradise. This event changed Adam and Eve and their future descendants forever. The repaired could only come by God’s perfect sacrifice. God entrusted Adam with a garden and ultimately the planet, but Adam forfeited…

The story of "Excerpts from Eve's Dairy" starts off with Eve entering the world. She did not know if yesterday even existed, if their was a yesterday. Eve thought she started off as an experiment to the world and nothing more. Eve also described things or objects in a very different way, then we do today. She described objects like she have never seem that object before, which she did see them for the first time. One part that I found funny was when she was talking about the moon sliding down,…

It is a world in a hundred million objects. Commissioned by Ai Weiwei, “Sunflower Seeds”, is a 1,000 square meter room laid out with 100 million porcelain seeds, with approximately a depth of 10 centimeters, at the east end of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London. Each seeds appears to be the same, but each seed is actually unique. After a 30 step procedure, each seed was moulded, fired at 1,300 degrees, hand painted, and fired again in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen, (a town whose…
