cities. Paradise Lost written by John Milton is an epic that tells the story of Adam and Eve and how they put the human race’s futures at stake for sin and death. Milton displays a good sense, which I support as well, of what a hero truly is. The story takes place in the Garden of Eden, but is referenced as “Paradise.” The battle between Satan and God created the mess that “caused all our woe” (Norton 1943).

impact on mankind. Human Identity Genesis teaches God created humanity to rule over creation. It teaches us how God gave specific instructions to Adam concerning the tree of life.

The sole purpose of this paper is to compare the USS Maine and the run-up to the Spanish American war to the case of Valerie Plame and her husband Joseph Wilson and the run-up to the Iraq war in 2003. Up til the 1890’s, the Unites States drive to expand overseas had been prevented by the mixed feelings people had about overseas possessions.

The Christian religion, however, has drawn a distinct line between the two forces based on the scriptures of the Holy Bible. Genesis 2.5-3, better known as the story of Adam and Eve, gives the Christian explanation for why ‘Evil’ exists in this ‘all-perfect being’ created world.
