we learn that Grendel carries the curse of Cain with him. "He bore the curse of the seed of Cain/ Whereby God punished the grievous guilt of Abel’s murder." Cain was the son of Adam and Eve and was the one who murdered Abel‚ his brother‚ out of a jealous rage for God’s favor to Abel.

Adam and Eve In Genesis 1 God creates the universe in seven days‚ reserving for his sixth-day labor the climax of creation: man and woman. On the seventh day God rests and so establishes the holiness of the Sabbath. God fashions a man from the dust (Heb. ad amah) and blows the breath of life into his nostrils‚ then plants a garden (the Garden of Eden) and causes to grow in the middle of the garden the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life.

they heard God in the garden‚ and they hid. I do like how God speaks to the serpent‚ prophesying that the offspring of the woman will crush his head (reference to Jesus Christ) (Gen 3:15).

“Strange Fruit” ‚a poem written by Abel Meeropol in 1929‚ was a world renowned piece of writing. This poem was a result of Meeropol’s reaction to the picture of a lynching that took place during that time. He was already disturbed by the racism that existed‚ but was horrified after seeing a picture taken of two hanging bodies. Then after putting it to song‚ it was sung by Billie Holiday who was heard around the world. I find that this poem is a chilling act of defiance against the inhumane act of

The House Grotty and ruined‚ the house stood grounded to the earth. I shivered as though ice had replaced my spine. The cold air enveloped my entire body. The multiple layers of clothing could not protect me against the deathly cold. The walkway leading up to the house was cracked. Weeds and dandelions poked out from these cracks.
