seems to do, say, or think all sorts of things that make us want to blame her for the fall. Like the fact that she easily succumbs to flattery, which makes her an easy target for Satan, because not only is he the king of temptation, he is also pretty good at flattery. Yeah. So it probably was not the best idea to go out looking for temptation. Unfortunately, Eve also happens to be prideful, full of herself, gullible, and naive. Those qualities obviously worked out in the end for her. At least…

merciful and presents yet another means of salvation. God appears to a fearful Moses as a burning bush, another degradation of his full form in paradise, and bestows upon him the hope of a new Eden, “ I have come...to bring them up out of that land to a good broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey”(25).

Whether it is Milton’s portrayal of Satan, as a semi-hero, with mainly heroic characteristics, or Milton’s God in Paradise Lost, one can see that the writer challenged conventional roles of his time. Less apparent is Milton’s progressive viewpoint on women in the poem. Although Milton cannot be classified as a feminist writer, Eve’s portrayal is highly liberal for the seventeenth century.…

The first thing people see about Mr. Raymond, no matter the time of day, is his brown paper bag with a bottle inside. One can only assume it is alcohol. “How can you stand to get drunk ‘fore eight in the morning?” (Harper Lee 211). Jem brings us a good point with this line. People are generally very judgmental of those who ingest that much alcohol, that early in the day. Therefore Mr. Raymond get a bad regard for his actions. The children later find out that what is is that bottle hidden by the…

One hundred years of 7 deadly sins The Bible is heavily influences Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude(OHYS). You can see each of the seven sins play a role in this book. They even show all the consequences of the sins. OHYS, can be best described as a “If you do this, this will happen,” type of book. The book doesn't have to much of an overall moral, but many of extreme mini lessons. The book begins with a description of the Macondo. Honestly it sounds more like Eden,…

According to Galt, “Poets and authors have produced numerous works that seem meant for children to read.” Galt gives the example of the famous book written by Lewis Carroll, Alice. “It might seem as though they are nothing more than fantastical accounts of the events of a little girls life, but different forms of criticism have allowed us to investigate the possibilities of…

Originally the adjectival form of fate, it initially meant “allotted or decreed by fate or destiny; destined, fated” (OED, 2015).
