People dream big and when people's dream become reality, they start to treat themselves as a God amongst men. Just as the man above achieved his dream of being the owner of the pink elephants, Braddock Washington achieves his dream of hiding the diamond as big as the ritz. The minute Braddock accomplished his goal of hiding away his diamond and creating barriers such as the anti-aircraft guns, he seemed to carry an arrogance unfit for him. It is described that Braddock Washington was an "elder man with a proud, vacuous face, intelligent eyes, and a robust figure"; it is also shown through the rhetoric use of allusions that Mr. Washington acts as a foil to the biblical figure Moses. In the Bible, Moses builds an arc and escapes God's wrath (in form of rain); just as the dark rain clouds filled the sky in Moses' time, "the sky darkened...a sudden murmur in a gust of win" portrays a storm. Although Moses is a very important figure, he is humble and does not act like God himself. Braddock Washington, however, bribes God as he feels like he is on God's level of power. And just as all the sinful, prideful people on the earth drowned in the great flood, the entire Washington family, except for Kismine and Jasmine, were consumed by the mountain. The lesson: Don't act like God and don't fall for the materialistic trap that people dream of having.

Dude, you confused Moses and Noah.
