"She Unnames Them," is a blasphemic story. I didnt care for it much at all. There is a point in the story where she says "I hope the garden key turns up." That is obsurd. The whole reason Adam and Eve got kicked out of the garden of eden in the first place was because Eve ate from the tree of good and evil. It is her fault they no longer live in a perfect world, and to say its not is just ignorance. Also the whole thing about her unname the animals is completely wrong. Adam was given the specific duty of naming all the animals and having dominian over them, before Eve was even around. There is no point in the bible where it says Eve unnamed them. This story is ridiculous and is obviously written by a female activist or something
"Journey of the Magi," was a little hard to understand, but im sure going along with the theme of the stories we had to read, its blasphemic too. it says that the magi had seen birth and death. Thats funny cause last time I checked Jesus was born so that all men could live, eternally. At the end it says he should be glad for another death. I dont quite know what hes trying to say, but im sure he'll be going to hell for it.
"A Cold Coming," really baffled me. The biggest thing I got out of it was the soldiers had their semen frozen just in case they died and could never reproduce anymore. I do think it is mocking our soldiers though. It's also just talking about how a dying Iraqi feels about death and what he wont be able to leave behind.

I agree with you on Cold Coming I also believed it was just about the soliders freezing there semen and talking about how the Iraqi feels.
I agree with what you said about Cold Coming in what the Iraqui soldier feels about death. In a sense I think he, too, wishes he could save his semen so that his wife might still have his child, regardless of his mockery towards the US soldiers.
I also like how you really comment on how you feel in your analysis of "Journey of the Magi".
I also had no idea what was going on in cold comming i didnt understand it at all untill i read other peoples posts and re read it. I didnt see much more than you did in the story.
At first this story didn't really make sense because of the way it is written but after a closer look i agree with you that it is not that complicated. The soldiers freezing their semen was the only major point.
You bring up some really interesting points about "She unnames them," I could never remember the details behind the roles Adam and Eve had. I agree with you that it could be written by a feminist or something like it.
