Compare and Contrast ?Genesis? and ?Penetrating to the Heart of the For

Topic 3Compare and Contrast multiplication and go into to the flavor of the Forest, Looking at both figment and piddling story.     Although there are m whatever similarities present, a distinct fight is made between Genesis and "Penetrating to the burden of the Forest" in that Genesis is a mythical narrative era "Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest" is an adaptation of a mythic story (Adam and Eve) in the pee of a short story. When comparing and contrasting these two stories we see similarities in storyline, themes, symbols, differences in detail, and the extent and signifi tidy sumce of the stories themselves.      When deciding whether these narratives are myths or short stories, one must look at the contents of each penning of work. Genesis can eliminately be defined as a myth because it contains all the characteristics of a myth. These characteristics include casual and vague descriptive writing about a very significant and important homo of work. Characteristics of myths similarly include superstitious themes, characters and the establishment of traditional ways of life sentence and belief systems for a wide variety of people. Although Genesis contains one of the well-nigh popular and significant creation tales today, its lack of description and vague expatiate account for its acceptance of existence a myth. An example of this is the seven geezerhood of creation creation written in one chapter In the provetime divinity fudge created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was formless and voice (The Access leger 2). This suggests that Genesis may have been passed down orally from generation to generation, which, fit to Campbell (The First Storytellers), resembles all other myths. The charge of solely flat or static characters (such as Adam and Ever) is a good example to show why Genesis is considered a myth. Only imprecise expatiate about Adam and Eve are given and we lack any understanding of personality or character traits. The existence of superstition is also very apparent in Genesis. God (the embodiment of good) is ceaselessly at work as is the Serpent (the embodiment of evil). The supernatural is a key element in the Genesis creation myth. Examples of these elements are the presence of angels, a holy sword, and a tree of unnatural, divine abilities (Bible 2, 6, 7). Supernatural e... ...). Whereas Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest lacks this, and localizees on entertainment rather than education. The absence of God and other supernatural characters contributes to a lack of mythical sensation. Genesis focus is to teach truths about the nature of reality, the meaning of life, and the purpose of human existence, (Bible 2) while Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest is a purely entertainment determined short story.     Although both Genesis and Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest can be seen as fictitious narrati ves containing similar qualities, themes, and storylines, both present clear differences in purpose, direction, and description as well as Genesis being a myth and Penetrating to the heart of the forest as being a short story with a mythic plot.
