The second part, chapter 22, of East of Eden by John Steinbeck is most notable for the naming ceremony that takes place; which marks a significant change in the character of Adam and the relationship between him and his twin boys. This plays upon popular themes within the book; the plight of man, paternal relationships, and the relationship between brothers. Up until this point, Adams twins remain nameless and Adam is caught in a spiral of depression. By the (somewhat violent) hands of Samuel, Adam is convinced to change this and discuss possible names for the twins among Samuel and Lee. When Cathy left Adam “saw the world through gray water” (Steinbeck 252).

If there’s something every country and the whole world has in common it’s that they were all home to native tribes, whether it was the Aztecs, Cherokees, Inuit, Nuer, Hadza or Incas and many more. Hugh Brody, a British anthropologist, writer, director and lecturer, writes about a tribe of hunters in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic of North America, who are known as Inuit. In his piece, “The other Side of Eden”, written in 2001, Brody argues that we still judge hunter-gatherers although we are the ones that dramatically and drastically changed their life because of our modern life styles. Ironically Brody named his piece, “The other Side of Eden”, alluding to The First Book of Moses, Genesis 2, or also known as “Genesis of the Garden of Eden”,

In Dr. Philip Zimbardo’s psychology experiment called the Stanford prison experiment, he came to realization without rules and structure of the guards, they can take matters into their own hands and do whatever they want. The prisoners were deindividualized and were just called by their number on their uniform. The cruel and unusual punishments that the guards inflicted got too out of hand would cause the prisoners to have a mental breakdown and wouldn 't be able to finish the experiment. Zimbardo called this the lucifer effect. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies” and Sheryl St. Germain’s poem “In the Garden of Eden,” Lucifer and evil are also temptations, which eventually creates the fall of man.
Mankind will only survive by living with adversity, not with perfection. Humans seek success but true growth comes from the struggles faced obtaining it. Without the challenge, mankind and nature itself withers away in boredom and sterility. Humans, as with all organisms in nature, survive by adapting to challenge, not by the lack of them. The narrator in Wallace Stegner’s “Crossing Into Eden” finds that paradise is no place for humans because it is too perfect and does not offer the adversity mankind requires to exist.

The snake represents corruption and sin within the Bible in the story of Adam and Eve. In the narrative "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" by Harriet Jacobs, snakes repeatedly make their appearance.

At the same time, these "snakes," or slavery can be related to the symbolism of serpents in the Bible. This equates the institution of slavery with immoralism.

In John Steinbeck’s East of Eden he illustrates this selfish use of sacrifice, however contrasts this by later revealing that sacrifice can show love and care for others.

One of the main characters, Adam sacrifices many things so that others will appreciate and care about him, however this ultimately leads to him to feel hate and resentment. Later in his life, as he has to care for his sons, he learns how to sacrifice to illustrate how much he values his relationships.
