...leave his father and mother to be joined to his wife. Adam and Eve knew nothing but good and knew nothing of sin and shame, at the beginnings of their lives. Unfortunately, this did not last. Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which was forbidden by God. Eve ate as the serpent told her and gave some to Adam and then they were instantly aware of their nakedness and were ashamed. They hid from God because of their shame and the Lord punished them for not following His instructions. The descendants of Adam and Eve continued with sinful acts that displeased God greatly. He decided to destroy all that he had created with the exception of Noah and his family. Noah was a man that feared God and God took favor with Noah because of his faithfulness. Noah was...

...Stowaway” is a revolutionary story that presents a unique outlook on the age-old tale of Noah’s Ark. Told from the viewpoint of a bold, outspoken woodworm that sneaks onto the ship, the story defies the traditional telling of the classic flood story. Rather, the woodworm relates unheard of insight on the arduous trip within the ark, the humorous animals he experienced the journey with, and the untrue details that characterize the biblical story. However, the most remarkable information the woodworm includes in the story involves the character of Noah himself. In “The Stowaway,” Julian Barnes uses the voice of the woodworm to depict the character of Noah as a depraved individual. The woodworm brings to our attention Noah’s blind arrogance very early in the story. Noah made decisions and would not change his position even when it was brought to his attention that there were other points of view that might be better than his. As the text of the story itself says, “Animals of a speculative bent began to propound rival selection principals, based on beast size or utility rather than mere number; but Noah loftily refused to negotiate. He was a man who had his little theories, and he didn’t want anyone else’s”. (Barnes 8) This demonstrates the woodworm’s dislike for Noah’s lack of consideration of other’s feelings. Noah made up his mind about how he was going to select the animals for the ark. He would not consider alternative selection criteria. He refused to listen to the pleas of the...

...The story of 'Noah's Ark' and the movie 'WallE' are similar in many ways. 'Noah's Ark is a Bible story and in actual fact 'WallE' has religious themes too. In both the Bible story and the movie, the worlds become uninhabitable. Also, in both stories, human's were instructed to build a ship.Thirdly, in the two stories they are searching for the evidence of life. Lastly in the story of 'WallE' and 'Noah's Ark', humans came back to land so they could recreate the earth. We see through both stories, that our actions can affect our world. In the story 'Noah's Ark', God became disappointed in humans as they were acting inappropriately. They were terrorising the earth and killing each other, which led the earth to become uninhabitable....

...Flood”, one has distinguished several differences between both articles. The first major difference between the two readings is that the “Epic of Gilgamesh” has a council of gods who sends the flood while one God sends a flood in Genesis. The name of the man in the “Epic of Gilgamesh” was Utnapishtim and the man in Genesis was Noah. Ea told Utnapishtim to build a boat while God told Noah to build the ark. The size of the ark/boat in both stories were different. The boat in the “Epic of Gilgamesh” was a square while the ark in Genesis was a rectangle. In the “Epic of Gilgamesh”, the gods gave loaves of bread and wheat to the man while God told Noah to collect his own food for the ark in Genesis....

...The story of Noah’s ark and the flood in the Christian bible could have influenced the story of the food in The Epic of Gilgamesh. You can see this relation by what both characters were told to do and what followed after. In The Bible, God said, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle...

...There are many similarities between the Gilgamesh flood and also the story “Noah’s Ark” in the bible. (I’ll point out a few similarities after I explain one that stuck out to me) God chose an angelic man to build an ark for he knows of an approaching flood. Pairs of all species and animals were to be on the ark, while birds were used once the flood was finished to determine if there was any dry land for them to go to. Just like in the bible, in the story Gilgamesh there was a flood as well. Parts of the Gilgamesh story (Chaldean Flood Tablets) have been found going back to 2000 BC or possibly earlier. The Tablets tell you about how Babylonian God decided to end all life except for the ark dwellers with a great flood. Their God believed by the Babylonians to be the ‘god’ who created the earth and had Utnapishtum to construct the six story square ark. God (or several gods in the Gilgamesh account) decided to destroy humankind because of its wickedness and sinfulness (Genesis 6:5–7). • A righteous man (Genesis 6:9) was directed to build an ark to save a limited and select group of people and all species of animals (Noah received his orders directly from Jehovah God, Utnapishtim from a dream). • Both arks were huge, although their shapes differed. Noah’s was rectangular; Utnapishtim’s was square and they both contained single doors with at least one window • A great rain covered the land and mountains with water, although some water emerged from beneath the earth...

It rained and stormed for six days and nights. Something very similar happened in the story from the genesis. God tells noah to build a boat and tells him the measurements. He...

...Noah's Ark Article Evaluation Long ago, after Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered the world and from there on, evil was in the hearts of every human. God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and the Lord said he would destroy every living thing on earth with a massive flood. Noah was the only exception for Noah had found grace in the eyes of the Lord so the Lord instructed him to build an Ark and to bring his family and two of every kind of animal so the world could be reborn. Some people believe this story from the bible to be true while others claim it to be false, but there is evidence to back this story up. Firstly, we know that people have found fossils from all around the world including high mountains. The only way for a fossil to form is for immediate water, mud, and pressure. The best reason for there being fossils found all around the world would be a world wide flood because a catastrophe like this would best be able to form fossils. Also, fossils have been found on very high mountains, meaning that these mountains had to have been underwater...

...February 2016 Noah, My Standard Bearer The biblical servant of God, Noah, who was born 2970 years before Christ, has been chosen as the person after whom I would like to pattern my life. Noah’s life set standards of strength, divine faith, righteousness, and obedience. These are positive guidelines that would enhance my life. Today, we too, like Noah, live in a corrupt, wicked, sexual deviant society and often find it difficult to do what we know is acceptable. With all the corruptness in our society today, we too can appreciate Noah’s world. It’s often difficult in our wicked society, to stay steadfast and adhere to our moral and spiritual standards. With the temptations that surround daily life, reflecting upon Noah’s great strength of character is a sustaining force to guide us. Even though my divine faith will not ever be as strong as Noah’s, and it is not likely that I shall ever build an ark, my faith increases with Noah as my standard bearer. We can only imagine the scorn, ridicule and contempt that Noah experienced while living in a desert and building a huge boat, yet by faith he continued. Not only was Noah uniquely righteous and possessed of strong faith, but he also was implicit in his obedience in doing what he was commanded. Many times we know what we ought to do but are remising in doing it. Not only did Noah take on the colossal of building the ark, but he wisely kept an accurate log of important events during his stay in the ark. VOISIN 2 ...

...Neessa Fleurant 04/27/12 ENGL 175 Major influence Although the narrative or story of Noah and the flood is one of the great stories in the Bible, many question its originality. The biblical version of the flood in Genesis 6-10 is “quite close in many respects to the Mesopotamian flood stories” (The New Oxford Annotated Bible pg 19), which were written beforehand. As much as they are similar, there are significant differences that distinguish the two tales and their reliability. The epic of Gilgamesh, written by the Sumerians between 2700 B.C. and 600 B.C., is the most famous parallel to the story of Noah in the bible. It focuses on the king of Uruk Gilgamesh, and his quest for immortality after the death of his friend. This quest leads him to Utnapishtim, (character equivalent to the biblical Noah) who is the “immortal flood hero” (Wikipedia). Utnapishtim then recounts to Gilgamesh the story of how he survived the flood. There are seven main similarities between the flood in the epic of Gilgamesh and that of Genesis. The foremost and obvious is that both of the characters were warned to build a boat to escape a flood. Secondly families of both Noah and Utnapishtim were saved along with the sampling of animals they were instructed to gather. Third, both floods are believed to have occurred on or in the Mesopotamian plain. Next come the fact that both boats were sealed with tar, and during the flood both men sent out a dove and raven to determine...

...Drozdik 1 Anna Drozdik Mrs. Chaney English 12 5 December 2011 Floods: An Archetype Every year many people are killed by one of nature’s great powers, floods. Many authors have used floods to depict a certain tone throughout the story. To truly understand this work of nature, one doesn’t have to look any farther than certain works of literature. The archetype of flooding is very prevalent in works such as “Noah and the Flood”, the “Epic of Gilgamesh”, “Deucalion”, and “Tata and Nena”. These literary works evoke a tone of fear, fury, strength, and how delicate life is. The first example of this power and fury comes from the story “Noah and the Flood”. In this story the flood shows the tone of how delicate life is. A good example of this is “All existence on earth was blotted out- man, cattle, creeping things, and birds of the sky;...” (“Noah and the Flood 62). This shows that this specific flood was able to kill anything in its path. Usually a flood kills some living things, but this one was so great that it was able to kill every living thing that existed on earth, thus proving that life is very delicate. Another great literary work, the Epic of Gilgamesh also shows a fine example of what floods are able to do to the world. For instance, the flood in this tale displays how much fear Drozdik 2 can be instilled on people as the flood passes through. “Even the gods were terrified at the flood, they fled to the highest heaven…” (Sandars 30) is a quote that enables...

...Aside from the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Wild Animal Park is the best place in San Diego to see animals. Over the spread of 1,800 acres, the animal park gives animals the room they need to roam and play. The animals here play just like they do in the wild, which almost makes you feel as if you are in their native of Africa and Asia. Throughout the 30 year history of the animal park, the Noah's Ark symbol of endangered species has grown to dozens upon dozens of animals. Now, every Arabian Oryx found in the wild is the descendant stock from the San Diego Wild Animal Park. In the park, there are many different paths you can take to visit the smaller animal exhibits. Although the smaller animals are a sight to see, the main thing to see is the hour long trip on the Bush Line Railway. Along the railway, you'll see animals that you'd never get the chance of seeing anywhere else, such as the white rhino and the rhinoceros. If you plan to visit the park in the summer, it's always a good idea to visit early. On a normal summer day, ten - fifteen thousand people will visit the park. During the winter, the ratio is down as normally 2,000 people will visit. Although it's much colder in the winter, the park is less frequent with people looking to see the animals the park offers. You can find the animal park 32 miles north of Escondido in San Diego. The park is in a peaceful area, which makes things a lot better for the animals that live...

...Noah and The Great Flood The Great Flood is a story that is questioned by some people, historians, and theologians. There always will be a question of whether this event really happened. If someone really believes that the messages in the Bible are real and they are coming from God, then that someone would believe that this event really happened. The messages in the Bible are lessons from God, he tries to teach us and tell us how to conduct our lives. This story is one of his lessons; he is trying to tell us something through this story. God uses Noah to reward humankind with his grace and mercy; he wanted to give humankind another chance to redeem themselves. With the story of the Great Flood, God recreates the world. God had to destroy humankind because of what they have turned into, evil and disobedient. God could see that humankind was lost in sin. They forgot all about him, he who created them. He did not like what his creation had turned into. God then made a decision to destroy and eliminate humankind from earth. Humankind made God regret the fact that he created them. But there was a good man, which God wanted to save, because he was good and faithful servant to him. Noah had an unbelievable faith in his Lord, so God trusted Noah. Noah was the man that God loved and cared for because Noah had shown his faith to him (Moore, 2005). Noah was the tenth in line from Adam, having descended from the line of Seth. He was the son of Lamech, as well as the grandson...
