Week 3 Reading Diary: Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve Unit The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg

This reading was more in depth than previous readings so far. The most interesting part for me was the story of Adam's first wife and her desire to be an equal and her banishment when refusing to be his secondary. That could make an interesting modern day story. I was also amused by the snake's punishment especially that of always being hated by humans and facing alot of death. Also I had never read the part about the punishments to the moon and earth so I thought that was really interesting especially how the moon is made out to be basically evil because he laughed instead of grieving.
