Reading Notes: Adam and Eve Part A

For the extra credit reading assignment, I decided to go with a biblical themed unit and read part a of the Adam and Eve unit. Story source: King James Bible (1611): Genesis 1-2. Below are my reading notes:

  • General sentence structures start with the word "And". I think this would be a neat way to frame a story and gives a delivery which just says the way things happened or are.
  • There seems to be a fairly logical sequence of the delivery of man and the things around him. It would be cool to write a story starting from the very principles of what is necessary and then build it out.
  • Faith is a very interesting topic and how it is personified through a snake was interesting. It is a first sign of doubt of God's power. I think it would be a interesting way to add the element of doubt into a story. 
  • It was interesting that Adam had control of what areas of the earth would remain waste and which would be developed. This almost tackles that interesting free will or fate argument.
  • The story of how Satan is "kicked out" of heaven is interesting. I would think that under logical sense you would just rid of Satan as a being all together. However, there is a reason for everything and is probably apart of His bigger plan.
