The military leader I admire most is General Douglas McArthur. He served the United States Military for more than 50 years and played important roles in WWI‚ WWII and the Korean War.

The clash between good and evil has been a prominent theme in literature. The Bible presents the conflict between good and evil in the story of Adam and Eve. Many authors use the scene in the Bible in which the snake taunts and tempts Adam and Eve to take a bite of the apple of knowledge to demonstrate the frailty of humankind. John Gardner provides these same biblical allusions of good and evil in his novel‚ Grendel. One of Grendel ’s archenemies is the human. Humans refuse to look beyond

Accordingly‚ there are quite a number of things and situations that often lead to failure and falls that we so much try to avoid‚ however‚ fantasy takes a toll and makes these falls and failures look fascinating and inherently good rather than bad.

At first glance this fresco does not look very dramatic. Adam and Eve are tempted and make the mistake that costs them Eden. However‚ we need to think of what exactly was lost. In Catholic theology‚ the time before the fall was also a time of peace‚ happiness‚ without sickness or even death. God created man in God’s own image (Gen. 1:27).
