extracts from adams diary
mark twain • 1904
samuel clemens (1835 - 1910), known best by his pen name, mark twain, was an american author and humorist. his short story \extracts from adams diary\ is a parody of the book of genesis, which is the first book of the christian old testament. in it, god creates a paradise for the first human beings, adam and eve. god instructs adam and eve not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. the devil, in the form of a serpent, convinces eve to take a bite and forbids fruit, who later convinces adam to do the same. both receive gods knowledge, which reveals that humans are imperfect. as a consequence, god banishes them from the garden of eden and their world becomes vastly different.
as you read, pay attention to the way twain uses humor to poke fun at the roles of man and woman.
