Summary The story of “Noah and the Great Flood” (Gn 6-9) takes place outside the Garden of Eden around 2400 BCE. Noah, the ninth-generation descendent of Adam, lived in a time when “The Earth was corrupt before God”. (Gn 6:11) This grieves the God of Israel, so he decides to destroy what he has created, but Noah found favor in the deity’s eyes because Noah “was a righteous man”. (Gn 6:5-7;6:9) The God of Israel tells Noah to build an ark, gives him specific instructions on its design, and instructs him to bring “two of all living creatures” on the ark with him. (Gn 6:14-19) For 40 days it rains; a great flood covers the earth and “everything that moved on earth perished” except for Noah and everyone with him on the ark.

In fact God helps him out in many different ways and Beowulf acknowledges that throughout the poem. He thanks God for guiding and protecting him, and states that in his battle with Grendel, he would have been destroyed if God had not guided him.

For example when Hrothgar talks with Beowulf about selfish kings who do not give thanks to God for their blessings.

The professor’s observations reveal that, although Captain Nemo shows respect for God as the Creator, he does not have faith in God; rather, he seeks revenge against humanity.

The first group of similarities starts with the first generation of the Trask family, Charles and Adam. Cyrus Trask, the boys’ father, stated that he loved Adam more than Charles and that was proved to be true to the boys, when Cyrus chose Adam’s birthday gift of the puppy over Charles’s birthday gift of an expensive knife. Due to the partiality, Charles’s jealousy takes over and he nearly beats Adam to death. In the Cain and Abel story, after Cain kills Abel, God ‘marks’ Cain to prevent others from killing him and in East of Eden, Charles receives a dark scar on his forehead while attempting to move the boulders on his field. One last similarity between the characters of the two stories, is that of Cain and Abel, Cain is the only one who can and does have children because Abel is dead and in East of Eden, of the two first generation Trasks, Charles is the only one with kids, seeing that Cathy Ames hints that Caleb and Aron couldn’t possibly be Adam’s but are actually Charles’s kids.
Antigone was right in his actions for several reasons. Although the state disallowed Antigone’s body to be buried, he did so regardless because he could not stand the fact of his brothers’ body being untouched. Despite the consequences, he buried his brother in a brave manner and placed his brother in the afterlife which was far more important than leaving him in the open world. The afterlife was important because it was an opportunity to please their Greek gods which has always been their lifelong passion. Everything they have done has been dedicated towards pleasing their gods through prayer and religious sacrifice.
