Nechama Leibowitz's Three Different Reasons
Nechama Leibowitz starts by questioning whether the argument between Cain and Hevel was a fight between man or a fight between brothers. She adds that fights between two humans only begins in the second generation. Bereishit Raba creates three different reasons for why they fought. The first reason is that they fought over land and clothing, claiming possession to each others belongings. The second possibility is from Rabbi Yehoshua of Sachnin saying that both brothers wanted to build the temple to hashem on their land. The third suggestion comes from Rabbi Yehuda Bar Ami that they were fighting over chava. Nechama believes that the stoy of Cain and Hevel is a universal application that reveals the underlying motives of man that lead leads

    Melody Graulich's Analysis

    (confusing phrase: reword) In an important essay, Melody Graulich notes how "rigid dichotomizing of sex role" in most frontier myths have "often handicapped and confused male as well as female writers" (198), " (this quotation mark should not be here)(this can be paraphrased) she wonders if a "(take the quotations out and rephrase) universal mythology"(refer to Purdue in_text citations MLA format) (198) (is this an explanation? Where does the quote end please reword)(commas needed) might emerge that is less confining for both of them. In Bruce Mason (Is this a book?), Wallace Stegner seems to experiment with this idea; acknowledging the power of Bo's male(who is BO) fantasies and Elsa's ability to teach her son to feel(who is Elsa?).

    After The Disaster By Abigail Deutsch Analysis

    In the poem "After the Disaster" by Abigail Deutsch she expresses the thought that things could be worse in someoneone's life and that many different things may come up and impact your life. I believe the primary feeling of the poem would be a little depressed and sad just based off of what all she talks about along the story and by the words she uses to describe this "disaster." But throughout the poem the author, Deutsch, uses sound, symbolism, and metaphors to convey the idea that many different things can have a huge impact on your life.…

    'Why Is Our Century' by Anna Akhmatova Analysis

    ‘Why is Our Century’ by Anna Akhmatova is a poem written in the early 20th century while the Soviet Union was active. The poem portrays the grief and melancholy of Anna Akhmatova by using many deep poetic techniques such as personification and symbolism. Akhmatova embeds a dark and gruesome theme into the poem, portraying what she, and many other Russians felt in the early 20th century. She makes a cry for awareness in the poem by the use of a rhetorical question which affects the entire poem intensely.…

    Reading Response to Ali and Nino - Short Essay

    The most evident and reoccurring theme that I noticed in Kurban Said’s, Ali and Nino was the importance of religion and cultural backgrounds. In many different places in the story it is evident that Ali and Nino have been taught some completely different things about the world in general. The first major example that I found is when Ali speaks with his father and Nino’s father about marrying Nino. Although they are both somewhat supportive of the marriage, they both send completely opposite messages. Ali’s father tells him that the love for Nino is not necessary and that if he wants Ali can still marry up to three more wives. Contrary to Ali’s fathers belief, Nino’s father feels very differently. He feels that he must show unconditional love and treat her with the dignity and respect that she deserves. He also feels that he should focus all her energy and love on her rather than having any other wives. If Nino’s father doubts Ali’s for his daughter, maybe that is part of the reason why he tried to postpone the wedding. The second example I found is when Nino tells Ali he absolutely can not have a harem because it is considered a disgraceful tradition of Ali’s background to Nino and her family. Ali agrees that he will not have a Harem and then the question of whether or not Nino will have to wear a veil. After a bit of deliberation between Ali and Nino, they were still unable to reach a conclusion to whether or not Nino would have to wear a veil. Nino does not understand why a women must wear a veil whereas Ali feels that it is very important that the women does so that Nino will be protected from strangers looks.Although Ali and Nino are very much in love there are very many cultural differences and misunderstandings that make this inter religion/faith marriage a bit more complicated.…

    Conflict Man V's Man

    Conflict is the driving force behind a story. In the story The Most Dangerous Game, they use the conflict Man v.s Man by pitting Reinsford against two men who wants to hunt him instead of animals. The men who want to hunt him, General Zaroff and Ivan, say that “They’ve grown tired of the usual big game and want to move on to something even more challenging.” At first Reinsford is offered to hunt men with them but Reinsford refused because he says that it’s outright murder.

    Franz Kafka "Before the Law" Essay Example

    When I originally read this short story, I initially got the impression that it was about Heaven and trying to get into Heaven by the choices made in life. However, it didn’t make much sense to me when the doorkeeper explained that beyond his gate, there were further, and much angrier, doorkeepers. I suppose I tried to explain it to myself that since no one is entirely certain if there is an afterlife and what lies beyond the afterlife, there might be multiple gates a soul could take.…

    The Book of Genesis in the Bible also contains several examples of sibling rivalry: Cain and Abel tells of one brother's jealousy after God appears to favour his sibling, and the jealousy ultimately leads to murder. Jacob tricks his brother Esau out of his inheritance; sisters Leah and Rachel compete for the love of Jacob; Joseph's brothers are so jealous that they effectively sell him into slavery.…
