When Stephen visits Sachi’s garden for the first time, he finds that “There were no trees, flowers, or water, only a landscape made of sand, stones, rocks, and some pale green moss . . . Sachi had created mountains from arranged rocks, surrounded by gravel and elongated stones flowing down like a rocky stream leading to a lake or the sea” (40). Unlike Matsu’s very green and tree-filled garden, Sachi’s garden is very dry, and simplistic, yet has a peculiarly admirable feeling when one is able to see the subtle details. Although it is very different from a typical garden, its components harmonize to create a new and beautiful pattern. At first, Stephen is overwhelmed by the unfamiliar concept of a dry landscape, but after taking it in, he says it is beautiful. This garden is has a fresh taste to it, leaving Stephen to decide the effect it has on him, whether it be positive or negative. When creating the garden, Sachi insisted that it should not have flowers. However, eventually, “between two large rocks grew a neat cluster of blooming flowers, startlingly beautiful, a splash of blue-purple . . . thriving among the muted, gray stones.” The way that the bright colors contrast against the dull gray shows that something unfamiliar and novel can appear beautiful in its own way. Since Sachi’s garden is filled with pebbles and stones, the dainty flowers stand out comely, and to

The poet tells about “The Almighty making of the earth, shaping beautiful plains, marked off by oceans, then proudly setting the sun and moon to glow across the land and light it” (7-10). In the Bible, Genesis 1:1 reads, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Charlotte Perkins Gilman illustrates this longing through a garden in which the protagonist is unable to reach throughout the entire story.

The Book of Genesis is a compilation, and like every compilation it has a wide variety of contributors who, in turn, have their individual influence upon the final work. It is no surprise, then, that there exist certain parallels between the Theogony, the cosmogony of the early Greeks, and the Book of Genesis, the first part of the Pentateuch section of the Bible. In fact, arguments may be made that the extent of this 'borrowing', as it were, is not limited to Genesis; the Theogony has its own roots in Greek mythology, predating the Book of Genesis by a thousand years. A superficial examination of this evidence would erroneously lead one to believe that Genesis is somewhat a collection of older mythology

Further evidence that the author of Genesis 1 is P is that “the account of creation in Genesis 1 has the refrains and solemn tones of a liturgical prayer…it maintains an interest in precise genealogy lists, a task of ancient temple scribes,” and pays close attention to structure and the repetition of key expressions, having a powerful effect on the reader, a style of writing that would only have been used by the well educated at the time, pointing directly to priests.

The Holy Spirit of God is the driving divine force that assisted God with the creation of the things on the earth. Gen. 1:1-2, (KJV), records the first account of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void; and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. In addition, Ps. 33:6 records that the Word of the Lord made the heavens and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. After God created the earth as a habitation, He created man in His own image and likeness.
