Assignment #5: Book IV and Tea in the Palaz of Hoon

After reading Book IV, I chose to read the poem Tea in the Palaz of Hoon. At first, it was difficult to find a connection between the two. However, upon reading each piece a second time I discovered a connection I believed they might have in common.I am not sure of how true this connection may be, but I believe that in each piece the characters were in search of self-discovery.Adam and Eve are still on the path of discovery who they really are and their purpose while the man in Tea in the Palaz of Hoonis on a mission of self-discovery as well. Additionally, in both Book IV and Tea in the Palaz of Hoon, a subconscious mental domain was present which influenced the conscious mental life of the characters. This mental domain include the serpent for Adam and Eve, and the man's conscience.
