Today I read an article called On Behalf of Adam, Eve and Humanity at Large. The speaker was trying to defend our position (humanity's position) in the incident of The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. She brings up supportive details, such as why was it that Adam and Eve decided to cloth themsevles (because of protection of supposed dust, instead of guilt and embarassment). Somehow, she is asking God to think about it, to view our behavior as innocence. Also, she is blaming it a little on God, because certainly he was the one to place the serpent that would tempt Eve.
This article reminded me a bit about a discussion we had on Pre-AP English last semester, about how had been the most guilty for Eve's mistake (of deciding to try the apple of this certain tree). Personally, I do believe all of them are a bit guilty, because all of them had control over their own actions. Certainly, the speaker is saying that the most guilty of all, was God.
I liked this article because the speaker is considering details that might proove that she is right. This points are expressed in a humorous way, and so it makes the piece enjoyable to the reader.
