In Part A of "Noah and the Ark" there were 8 readings within the story. I like the big picture of Noah's Ark, but not so much the minor details. I could do without all the names of the sons of sons, and wives of wives, etc. There was a lot of repetition in each of these stories and they would be much shorter and straight to the point if they didn't repeat so much. In my rendition I would cut all that out. I would also modernize the story. It would still have God, a character by the name Noah, and all something he'd have to save in pairs of 2. This story would take place in 2012 (the year that everyone thought the world would end) instead of long long ago. Instead this time the world does "end" instead of everyone moving on to 2013. Instead of a flood, other ideas could be earthquakes and volcanoes or even hurricanes. Noah would have to build a safe zone similar to the ark. It would be underground and safe from all dangers. Noah would still have sons and I'd also include a background story to Noah and how he was born like one of the books in Part A. I would also still include an aftermath plot as well. The rainbow as the covenant from God to promise not to flood the world anymore is such a major scene in the plot that I would have to include it in my rendition as well. I also like how Noah sent out a dove to see if the flood had subsided and when the dove never came back he knew that there was land somewhere. Basically, I love everything about the characters to the major plot, but there would be small details I would cut out to make the story flow easier and I would also modernize it to keep it relevant to our generation.
