Frye says that the bible is like the letter U. why is it a U? Is it because it starts happy then goes down to the pits then goes back up again to end happily? And the U has such a big rise and fall in its slope.

I think that the bible should more be described as a W. there are so many questions that are unanswered, and bad things that happen that it should be a W. it goes up and down so many times, that it is more like a wave then any letter, which conviently starts with the letter W. so many bad things happen, yet so many good things happen too. So the good things are the tips of the letter, and all the bad things are the pits of the letter. The creation story is the tip. Adam and Eve being banished from the garden is the bad part of the story. Moses being in Egypt is a good part of the story; the bad part is that his people were slaves. God saving Moses and his people is the good part, and I guess that God killing Pharaoh and his people is a good part if you look at it that way that Moses and his people were finally free. God creating women out of man is a good thing. Are there more good things that happened in the bible than bad things? I know that we haven’t really gotten into the 'deep' of the bible, and we will only skim the surfaces of the bible, but it seems that a lot of good endings have come from the bible.

Speaking of good things that have happened, is this why the bible is considered a comedy? To me, my definition of a comedy is something that is funny.  I feel that the bible is not that funny. Is that the pit of the letter? The bible not being that funny? And yes the bible does end happily. What would be a better word to describe the story line and plot of the bible? It’s not a love story that I see. It’s not all tragic. Ha definitely not a chic flick. So until I think of a better word for the bible I guess it was just stay a comedy.
