SUMMARY

The diary started when the first woman in the Bible named Eve was one day old.
Eve felt that she was just an experiment and nothing more. She kept on
wondering about such things. She was so curious about God’s creations that
surrounded her, and all she did was to observe the moon, the mountains and
most of all, the stars. Eve was trying to reach the stars and get even just one of
them for her to put something on her hair.

Until she knew that there was another human being named Adam and came up
with the idea of following him around. At first, Adam ignored her but she did her
best to get his scrutiny. Then they became friends and she began designing
everything in her surroundings. When Adam ignored her, Eve seeks comfort with
her so called “sister” – her reflection in a pool of water.

After that, she then made some examinations or experiments with the fire.
Unfortunately, she accidentally set a fire all over the forest. Suddenly, there was
something strange that struck her, and it was an unusual discovery for her – it
was the feelings of fear.

Eve was going on such long expeditions away from Adam with her friends – the
animals. She was again being extremely curious about all she saw around her.

Then her diary bounded forward to the future, after they sinned against God (The
Fall of the Garden Eden). Adam and Eve became an affectionate couple and Eve
considered on the essence of her intimate love for Adam.

She determined that she loved him because he was hers and he was macho.

The diary ended after 40 years later, when Eve was believing about her death. She
said that she would like to die first because Adam was stronger. She said that she
will be depressed and couldn’t live without him. After all, Adam had a thought at
eve’s graveside. Even wheresoever she was, there was still Eden.

REVIEW

Actually, since I am familiar with the contents of the Bible, I already knew about
the story “The Creation” in the book of Genesis (which is the first book in the
Bible). My familiarity with the story made me dull of reading “Eve’s Diary”
because my point is that I already had an idea about what I am going to write in
this essay.

But I am WRONG. When I read the story, I experienced being an explorer. I felt so
much creativity within the story. I realized that some parts of this story have their
own small details of differences with the story in the Bible, especially the
perspective of Eve.

The story really caught me, this one is so much worthy to be read, especially that
this story is somehow included in the context of the Bible. I really recommend this
story!

REFLECTION

What I’ve really noticed in the story is Eve’s perspective in life (of course this is
her diary) and her intimate relationship with Adam.

First, Eve’s perspective:

In this story, I found out how Eve see such things that surround her. I think I felt
that she was weird, because she was just one day old then she was too stressed
about all she sees. I am just amazed by how she thinks because she even want to
get a star (just to put some decorations on her hair).

With this, I realized that we can really easily learn from such things that surround
us if we’ll just going to be creative and explore.

Second, Her intimate relationship with Adam:

Even I didn’t witness their relationship with each other, but based on what I’ve
read, I can really sense that they really had a very intimate relationship with each
other.

I am really fond of the part that Eve insisted that she should be the one who will
die first. And her reason, because she couldn’t live her life without Adam.

I realized what love can do for people involved in it.
