The idea that God is an omnipotent character is a common theme that is present in many stories outside of the Bible. That is why it is no surprise that he is just as grand and powerful in his depiction within the Bible, especially compared to Adam and Eve. The thing that I enjoyed, however, is the fact that in many of the stories Adam is shown to be just as wise as God himself. It especially surprised me in
The Ideal Man, where Adam was able to answers some of God's question so confidently and logically. The theme that I am pointing out is where the undermined character, who everybody does not expect to be intelligent, surprises the readers with his/her intelligence and thinking ability. I feel that the use of this theme since it allows writers to create a more relatable character who isn't perfect, all the while creating foils/antagonists against the characters as non-believers or bullies.
To expand on this idea, I feel that my storytelling for this week could be a party of the ideal man, where God can be Alex Trebek and Adam can be a contestant in
Jeopardy!. The difference is that I plan on making Alex Trebek so vehement in his want for the contestant to lose. Think:
Slumdog Millionaire in Biblical times!
