Our reactions were very different. I focused more on the history and factualness of the story while the other blog focused more on a theme that she got from the story. I do agree that stereotypes and generalizations happen all the time and arent a good thing.
The author did a good job of getting her point across. She wanted to show how the names for some of the animals were wrong and how others had become wrong and how Eve had eventually severed herself from everything and eventually had no words left. I definitely got that from the story.
Even though she doesnt say she wants to change peoples minds about the first two people on earth in her interview, she really does. It is an underlying theme. By changing the way the story goes she automatically attacks its biblical historicalness even if she didnt want to.

I also had a very different reaction to the story. I thought it opened up a new aspect that i didnt look at the first time i read it. I also agree with sterotypes and generalizations not being a good thing.
Stereotypes and generalizations do happen all the time and I wish it wasn't like that in the world. It would make everything so much easier.
I like your interpretation of the story. It was hard for me to understand the meaning of the poem at first.
