1. God banished them from the garden, and placed 2 angels with flaming swords at the entrance to keep them away.
2. Noah and his family were rewarded with a covenant of the rainbow, and God's promise to never flood the earth again.
3. Noah gets mad at his sons, because of an incident where his one son came in and saw Noah when he was naked, and left him that way. However, his other sons covered him. Noah became upset after finding this out. I can't remember what he did to punish them, but you should be able to find it in genesis.
I regard these things as history, the Bible is a great book to read, regardless of your beliefs. You should consider reading it.

do you mean to say that god had an angel with sword of fire protect the tree of life from adam and eve from partaking of eternal life.
do you mean that God placed the rainbow in the sky as a promise that he would not flood the earth again
do you mean that Noah found himself naked or that his wifes nakedness was uncovered?that they were drugged within their wine and raped or sodomized?

***1. With Cherubs and a flaming sword.
Gen. 3:23,24 says"With that Jehovah God put him out of the garden of E´den to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. 24 And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of E´den the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life."
***2. Every creature on earth were given to them, and a covenant was established with him where God promises the earth won't suffer a deluge again.
Gen 9:1,2 ,11says " And God went on to bless Noah and his sons and to say to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth. 2 And a fear of YOU and a terror of YOU will continue upon every living creature of the earth and upon every flying creature of the heavens, upon everything that goes moving on the ground, and upon all the fishes of the sea. Into YOUR hand they are now given...I do establish my covenant with YOU: No more will all flesh be cut off by waters of a deluge, and no more will there occur a deluge to bring the earth to ruin.”"
***3. Only at one son he gets mad at.. for making fun of him when he got intoxicated and got naked. The others covered him asap.
Gen. 9:20-27 says "Now Noah started off as a farmer and proceeded to plant a vineyard. 21 And he began drinking of the wine and became intoxicated, and so he uncovered himself in the midst of his tent. 22 Later Ham the father of Ca´naan saw his father’s nakedness and went telling it to his two brothers outside. 23 At that Shem and Ja´pheth took a mantle and put it upon both their shoulders and walked in backwards. Thus they covered their father’s nakedness, while their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
24 Finally Noah awoke from his wine and got to know what his youngest son had done to him. 25 At this he said:
“Cursed be Ca´naan.
Let him become the lowest slave to his brothers.”
26 And he added:
“Blessed be Jehovah, Shem’s God,
And let Ca´naan become a slave to him.
27 Let God grant ample space to Ja´pheth,
And let him reside in the tents of Shem.
Let Ca´naan become a slave to him also.”

1. Kicked them out
2. With their lives
3. Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 2 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness.
When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers." He also said, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend the territory of JaNoah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
