After the murder, the Lord, knowing full well what had happened, asked Cain where Abel was. Cain’s response was "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

    Founding Brothers Dichotomy

    The modern American public often views the Founding Fathers of the United States as level-headed, well-intentioned, diplomatic, successful statesmen. Upon further investigation and analysis, a clear discordance in the men’s visions of the American Spirit shows its face.

However, wouldn’t you wonder why your grandmother would tell you these stories if there was a significant explanation, or lesson to be learned from them? In the book, “Brother I’m Dying”, by Edwidge Danticat it’s dispersed with numerous folk tales and children stories with a symbolic message.
