Short Response 2

In this response paper, choose one aspect of either the creation or the fall and compare two different accounts of it. Possibilities include the nature of the original sinful act (or of sinfulness in general), the nature of the temptation of man, the fall of the angels, the punishment of the angels, the punishment of man, the creation of man, the creation of some aspect of the world, the number of days of creation, etc. This paper should include some quotations because you should be focusing in narrowly enough that you are talking about details. Compare and contrast papers work best when you move back and forth between the two texts (instead of talking all about A then all about B). Also, consider the implications of these differences: are the two texts you are examining significantly different, or do they convey similar messages? Again, this post just needs to be 250-300 words.

To cite biblical sources give the book, chapter and verse. You do not need to italicize the name of the book. According to MLA guidelines you could cite chapter 3, verse 1 of Genesis, either like this:

Genesis 1.3

or like this:

Genesis 1:3

For this assignment you only have to worry about in-text citation. No bibliography or works cited is necessary.
