Reading Notes: Adam and Eve, Part A

I chose to write about Adam and Eve’s story of where the Ideal Man was created. When I was younger, my family would take me to church every week, but as I got older and my brother was born, we stopped going as much. Ever since we stopped going, I got more and more into other religions outside of Christianity. So although I would consider myself Agnostic, I like to learn about as much religion as I possibly can! I chose this story because I figured it would be a good spot to pick back up on since I do know a little about the story already. I would want to change a few things to make this story somewhat a little more comical than the original. Instead of Adam knowing where he came from and who created him, I would change into where he would just wake up one day and be the only person in the world. Instead of Adam being pretty much "perfect" and made by the God's, he would be average and quite skinny. He would have to figure out why he was put on this earth and what his purpose was. I would probably make him to be about 18 years of age instead of in his twenties. Eve would not be found yet, so he would be all alone until he found her. As soon as he finds Eve, they would then try to figure out where they were and how to make life begin. The only thing Adam would know in this life is his name, but does not know how to spell, read, or write. Anytime Adam would do something to further himself and make the world a better place, he would receive a faint memory of where he came from. So over time, he would learn all the life skills he needs to become a better person and how to make humanity start from the bottom up. He would learn how to make shelter, what food would be poisonous or healthy, and how to talk to girls…
Once Adam had joined Eve, Adam would find his own hell by living with a girl he just met, instead of dealing with the devil.
