Week 4 Reading A "Bible Women" Eve

 These are my reading notes for the story of Eve. 

I don't really feel the need to make notes on the plot off this story because it is one that I am extremely familiar with. I think that this is such a common story that I could rewrite the plot with a very different settings/ characters so that I keep the integrity of the story, but still make it something that is a helpful read. I really want to make these stories accessible and relatable to all who read them (specifically children). So, I want a story that is separate from its religious origins so that it can teach lessons that are relevant to all. 

For this story, I would like to have it take place in an enchanted forest to match my storybook theme. I think that rather than this story being one that shames Eve for giving into temptation, I would like it to be a story about a woman who did what she wanted and learned on her own that her actions have consequences.
