poems in genesis

Genesis 1:27 The narrator breaks into poem to emphasize that God was creating humans in his image, it is repetitive in a sense as well to clarify this important stage in His creation. He wanted the future people who would read it to know and thoroughly understand the section and remember it.

Genesis 2:23 The narrator breaks into poem again to set apart the creation on Eve from the rest of the passages because it is so significant and meaningful. He wanted us to know how special and unique this was.

Genesis 3:15-19 The narrator once again breaks into poem because it is a very significant time for human creation; it is the reason we are where we are today and not in the garden of Eden. Though this section is not as repetitive like the other sections including poems it is still just as meaningful. The change in writing makes what is being said more dramatic and memorable.

The main character two eyes is different than her sisters and is neglected. Every day she eats leftovers and has to take care of their goat. One day an old lady comes to her when she is crying and gives her a spell to say to her goat to so he will bring her food. This keeps One-eye happy for a while until the sisters send the goat away. The old lady has another solution for her a large fruit tree that only she can get fruit from. A night came one day and took her away from One-eye’s sisters because she was able to give him a piece of fruit.

In this folktale One-eye represents the maiden who needs to be saved and her sisters represent crones or witches. One-eye’s hero ended up being the knight, but along the way it was also the old woman who could have also represented a sort of a side kick or even wise old man who helped her. The goat represented a side kick to one eye even though she wasn’t hero he helped her to solve the problem. The meadow that One-eye took her goat to represented peace and tranquility for her, also the tree represented this too along with shelter.


This folktale is revealed as German mainly through the setting and actions of the characters. One example is when One-eye took her goat to a meadow everyday to graze. The goat is also symbolic to the German culture because many people rely solely on them to survive. Also, the small cottage along with the rest of the setting is a perfect example of the fundamental nature of Germany.

hero

A hero to me is someone like Todd Beamer, 

He was brave and courageous for many things

He stood up to the four hijackers on his plane and by doing this he saved hundreds maybe even thousands of people. Todd could have just sat tight and died along with everyone else on the plane. But instead he stood up to the four men and saved our country form much more grief and sorrow. he is also now known as a national hero and has positively impacted thousands and thousands of peoples lives.
