The Bible- Genesis Garden of Eden Chapters 1-3

The bible begins with God creating the earth and the things which are found on it. The way in which it was written is very different from the way other works of literature are written. While creating the things the format starts as "And God..." and many phrases are repeated when referring to that which he makes, and "it was good" is used to describe everything. The way that the characters speak is very different with an indirect use of nouns such as "man" instead of Adam and when God punishes Adam and Eve, the punishments seem unfair and indirectly described. Eve has to be ruled by Adam and have painful childbirth, and the pair is kicked out of Eden because God does not want them to live forever. That which is written in the three chapters could have been summarized much faster. First, god creates stuff (including man), God tells Adam not to eat the fruit, makes Eve, and the two eat the fruit and recieve their punishments.
