Bible’s Garden of Eden; however‚ to the opposite effect. Characters are paralleled‚ as well as plot events; the landmark setting of the Bible’s Genesis are even imitated by Rappaccini’s garden. The garden is very artificial and dangerous‚ the opposite of God’s comforting and heavenly Eden. The story has a theme of one large battle between Good and Evil‚ Science and God‚ and Man versus Man. Rappaccini’s garden is very much the polar opposite of the Garden of Eden. While Eden is said to be heavenly

Besides the belief that the Middle East is all about Arabs and Muslims‚ the Middle East includes non-Arab countries too. Countries that are non-Arab include

There are many issues between the Middle East and America; many of them dating back to the 1940’s. The main reason America wanted to gain power in the area is to have a steady supply of oil.

The involvement of the U.S. in foreign policy in the Middle East causes unrest‚ and in some cases‚ religious militancy‚ which is a serious problem. The blame for these problems doesn’t lay with just one country or region
