Creation, Exodus, and Adam and Eve
Critique #2 Mormon
In these critiques using 'The Book of Mormon' and starting from the beginning there were points that reminded me of the Creation as well as the Exodus story as we know the families go into the Wilderness. In Chapter Six of 'Nephi' "Therefore let us go; let us be strong like unto Moses", and I am thinking this is the same Moses that I learned about. "After he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came out of captivity, and on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow and did drown in the waters of the Red Sea."
In another passage in this book it mentions about containing the five books of Moses, which to me is the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Leviticus). As this book does and so does ours the stories of the Creation of the World and the story of Adam and Eve as the first parents and going on and describing the genealogy of the families and the descendants of Joeseph and Jacob being led out of Egypt. As I read further we all must have faith in God for he gave us "the seeds of every kind of grain and fruit of a promised land. The book of Nephi is slightly different from our Bible in phrasing but the general idea is there for we must gain full knowledge of the Messiah and Redeemer in all our faiths.

The Soldier Ran Away
Here is another critique of a short story entitled 'The Soldier Ran Away' written by Kay Boyle. This is the story of a boy named Jeff Wheeler the son of an Army colonel who spends a lot of time on his hobby in his attic workshop. One night in doing his work Jeff begins noticing things about his work that he has not done and a few days later he discovers why and he begins to help a very young soldier who went AWOL and has a decision to make as well as Jeff does- on whether to share about the soldier to his father. The illustrations in this story are colorful and adds much to the story.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Very interest! I don't know too much about the 'The Book of Mormon', It's interesting to mention how different religious texts interpret and present similar narratives, such as the creation story or the Exodus. With these variations, they can offer unique perspectives and insights into the beliefs of different faith traditions. Thanks for sharing.
