Ari, Zivotofsky (May 2017). "What's the Truth About The Apple In The Garden Of Eden?". Jewish Action. 77 (4) – via Issu. Baruch, Chapter 4, available at: http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~kazhdan/Shneider/apocr2010/3%20Baruch%20OTP.pdf James D. Mauseth (2014). Botany. Jones & Bartlett Publishers. p.223. ISBN 978-1-4496-4884-8. Perhaps the simplest of fruits are those of grasses (all cereals such as corn and wheat)...These fruits are caryopses. Sweet boy, there are filthy people who would kill to get their hands on you, on the light that shines within you. It’s my job as your mother to make sure no such harm befalls you.”

At the root of this impulse, some psychologists suggest, is our innate desire for novelty and excitement. In a complex world of inanimate objects and predictable routines, the wonder of danger can sometimes feel like a breath of fresh air. The word fruit appears in Hebrew as פֶּ֫רִי‎, pərî. As to which fruit may have been the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, possibilities include an apple, grapes, a pomegranate, [6] a fig, [7] carob, [6] etrog or citron, [6] pear, quince, and mushrooms. The pseudepigraphic Book of Enoch describes the tree of knowledge: "It was like a species of the Tamarind tree, bearing fruit which resembled grapes extremely fine; and its fragrance extended to a considerable distance. I exclaimed, How beautiful is this tree, and how delightful is its appearance!" ( 1 Enoch 31:4). [8]If Aemond was a better man, a more benevolent god, He would send the little sweet thing on his way. The little God sighed in boredom before finally crawling to his feet and dusting his dress down from any lingering dirt. Without hesitation, the younger boy opened his mouth and sunk perfect white teeth into it and let the juices run down his chin. Except that it was a fig or a peach or a pear. An ancient Roman punned – and the apple myth was born.

Meanwhile, the serpent, its mission accomplished, slinks into the gloom. Satan heads eagerly toward a gathering of fellow devils, where he boasts that the Fall of Man has been wrought by something as ridiculous as "an apple." But whether the forbidden fruit was an apple, fig, peach, pomegranate or something completely different, it is worth revisiting the temptation scene in Book 9 of Paradise Lost , both as an homage to Milton (who composed his masterpiece when he was blind, impoverished and in the doghouse for his regicidal politics) and simply to savor the sublime beauty of the language. Thomas Jefferson loved this poem. With its superfood dietary advice, celebration of the 'self-help is the best help' ideal, and presence of a snake-oil salesman, Paradise Lost is a quintessentially American story, although composed more than a century before the United States was founded. As Taihou squeezed the pen between her breasts I noticed the growing erection that threatened to push out of my pants. Taihou immediately noticed and without missing a beat whispered her hot breath into my ear while cupping my bulge with her hand; Although we are not technically allowed up on this floor during this time, it is nice to be able to catch a breather from all of the eyes watching over me on the ground floor. It seems Taihou has something she wants to show me on this floor so I am a little excited about what that might be. It appears Taihou has stopped in front of me for some reason near one of the corners supported by a pillar.

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: we want what we cannot have because it feels good, at least at the moment.

Those who have been fortunate enough to have caught a glimpse of him, have sung praises of his beauty; how his blue eyes could put the sea to shame, his lips soft as the petals on the flowers that surrounded him, his untouched skin and his virtue.

Finally, it could be argued that the Forbidden Fruit Effect reflects our basic human desire for autonomy and self-expression. One place where the ubiquitous apple does not appear is in the Old Testament’s Book of Genesis. The original story of Adam, Eve, the snake, and the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil mentions only an unspecified “fruit,” thus opening up centuries of debate over what the hapless First Couple actually ate. Various suggestions include everything from figs, grapes, and citrons to olives, apricots, bananas, pomegranates, and grapefruit. (Similar disagreements rage over probable locations of the Garden of Eden, which range from Turkey to Ohio, Mongolia, and the North Pole.) Aegon himself often moaned that the boy was just asking for someone to steal him away and ravish him. Although commonly confused with a seed, in the study of botany a wheat berry is technically a simple fruit known as a caryopsis, which has the same structure as an apple. Just as an apple is a fleshy fruit that contains seeds, a grain is a dry fruit that absorbs water and contains a seed. The confusion comes from the fact that the fruit of a grass happens to have a form similar to some seeds. [22] Mushroom [ edit ]

Apples, taxonomically, are members of Rosaceae, the Rose family, along with such other yummy edibles as pears, plums, peaches, cherries, strawberries, and raspberries. DNA analysis indicates that apples originated in the mountains of Kazakhstan, where the wild Malus sieversii—the many-times great-grandparent of Malus domestica, the modern domesticated apple—still flourishes. Immediately they all tried to protest but he waved them all down and assured he would still be within hearing range of them. Deep in the garden where fresh and delectable fruits, and the most eye catching flowers grew, hid a little God. But Commander-sama is fully enlarged down there! There is no way Commander-sama could wait until after the party~”

The nymphs played around him, delighting in the flowers that blossomed around them from Luke’s fingers. The Availability heuristic is one reason people are more afraid of flying than driving, even though driving is much more dangerous. Flying is a relatively rare event for most people, so it is less “available” in our minds and thus feels riskier. This desire may also reflect our need for autonomy and self-expression. Humans have always craved the freedom to self-determine their destiny; breaking societal limits can offer an intoxicating taste of that freedom in miniature form. It was not hard little boy, I been here many times. your mother can’t control the shadows that lay in every corner.”
