Answer:
The author's likely purpose for including Adam's confusion about who Cain is, is to show that the first human beings discovered things by themselves, which is totally different to what's written in the Genesis for it doesn't include the role of God.
Explanation:
The question is related to the story entitled "Extracts from Adam's Diary" by <em>Mark Twain.</em> It is a comical short story published in <em>1893.</em>
The story starts with Adam's narration about Eve and his reference to her as a <em>"creature with long hair"</em> that he seems to be annoyed of. According to Adam, the creature was always talking and it gets to name all the things.
"Cain" was being referred to as an "it" by Adam in the story because <em>he never knew it was a human like him until later. </em>However, Eve was so attached to it. Adam thought of it as a fish, then insect and so on. Later on, her realized it was a human being.
<span>In "Through the Tunnel," the negative connotations and dangerous imagery associated with the "wild bay" help to convey the theme that growing up can be a painful and scary process. Jerry longs to grow up and to fit in with the "older boys -- men to Jerry" who swim and dive at the wild bay rather than remain on the "safe beach" with his mother, a beach later described as "a place for children." The way to the wild bay is marked with "rough, sharp rock" and the water shows "stains of purple and darker blue." The rocks sound as if they could do a great deal of damage to the body, and the stains are described like a bruise. It sounds painful. Then, "rocks lay like discoloured monsters under the surface" of the water and "irregular cold currents from the deep shocked [Jerry's] limbs." This place sounds frightening and alarming and unpredictable. Given that this is the location associated with maturity, with the time after childhood, we can understand that the process of growing up and becoming a man is a time that is fraught with dangers and fear, because Jerry endures both in the "wild bay."</span>
