Adam and Eve's Diary
This is one of my favorite things we have read so far in this course. I love a good love entry in a diary and this fulfills all of the requirements- the growth of love, a rough starting, misunderstanding, resolution in understanding more, and appreciation in old age. (Insert stereotypical Notebook reference here) I loved watching the different characters react to the other in the beginning of their relationship and at the end of it. The love grew so strong out of distain on the part of Adam. Eve was persistent, and semi-annoying, but her intentions were good. It was really sweet.

Hey Sarah May! I absolutely agree with your perspective on "The Diary of Adam & Eve". I thought it was a fairly accurate depiction of male-female interactions, and the ending was so sweet! "Wheresoever she was, there was Eden." I also enjoyed the piece a great deal.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree guys. I think that it was such a typical boy hates girl boy loves girl transition. I think that it definitely has a lot to say about the miscommunication that occurs between guys and girls, which often lead to problems. Eve has good intentions and thinks she is doing what Adam wishes; Adam thinks she is taking over his life. It makes me wonder how many times people have gotten in a fight because of misunderstandings about perception versus intention.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how this story progresses as well. It went from the two individuals being forced as company to having to realize that only when they are together are they in paradise. And the environment almost doesn't have an effect if they aren't actively loving each other. Adam goes from wanting paradise all to himself to hating being without Eve in any paradise. I really loved how as a story it evolved into the opposite of what it started as.
