Building upon one of your early critical responses, write an essay looking at how the power of language is depicted in at least two of the texts we have studied thus far—particularly the creation stories. Make sure to support your arguments by citing and critically examining specific passages from each text. 4-pages. Story 1 The Book of Genesis and Story 2 OVID Metamorphoses . MLA, format. Double space. Site all work in text. Reference
Use only the reference provide in the attachment. Please use the text that was submitted no outside sources. I have uploaded the files called world literature and world literature 1.
please see attachments for further requirements
Story 1 the Book of Genesis
Language in Genesis
1. God appears without a “mythology”- we only know God as a creative entity, and we know that God creates through speech-the divine creative power is made manifest in speech.
2. “And God said let there be light and there was light…” First the name come, then the physical, perceptible entities appears. By this logic, to name something correctly is to commune with the original “divine” force of that object. Language is a way to communing with creation. A way of “separating” and rendering distinct.
3. Man, made in God’s Image, will also approach the world through the use of words. Adam’s first duty is to name the creatures of earth.
4. One of the major difference between Elohim and Yahweh-note the names –is the way they create and what they use language to do. Order as separation vs. order as dominion and subjection. Eloquence vs. Rhetoric.
5. Names: Yahweh/Elohim, Adam before and after he is cursed.
6. How does the serpent beguile Eve?
7. Tower of Babel narrative ?
Story 2 OVID
What Is The Solar System?
The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas.
Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has. Because the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very rapidly, try to fly away from the Sun, outward into the emptiness of outer space. The result of the planets trying to fly away, at the same time that the Sun is trying to pull them inward is that they become trapped half-way in between. Balanced between flying towards the Sun, and escaping into space, they spend eternity orbiting around their parent star.
How Did The Solar System form?
This is an important question, and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all, the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there were any people around to witness it. Our own evolution is tied closely to the evolution of the Solar System. Thus, without understanding from where the Solar System came from, it is difficult to comprehend how mankind came to be.
Scientists believe that the Solar System evolved from a giant cloud of dust and gas. They believe that this dust and gas began to collapse under the weight of its own gravity. As it did so, the matter contained within this could begin moving in a giant circle, much like the water in a drain moves around the center of the drain in a circle.
At the center of this spinning cloud, a small star began to form. This star grew larger and larger as it collected more and more of the dust and gas that collapsed into it.
Further away from the center of this mass where the star was forming, there were smaller clumps of dust and gas that were also collapsing. The star in the center eventually ignited forming our Sun, while the smaller clumps became the planets, minor planets, moons, comets, and asteroids.
A Great Storm
Once ignited, the Sun’s powerful solar winds began to blow. These winds, which are made up of atomic particles being blown outward from the Sun, slowly pushed the remaining gas and dust out of the Solar System.
