Uruk. Tablet II of the long poem, however, reveals Enkidu the wild man’s transformation from an uncivilized man to someone with human traits and human senses. From making love with a harlot to expressing his fear of Humbaba, the guardian of the Cedar Forest, Enkidu becomes tamed as he loses animalistic traits of being carefree and adapts human emotions such as lust, shame, anger, grief, and fear as well as a sense of justice. In the process of becoming civilized, the first thing Enkidu does is leaving

Throughout the famous “Epic of Gilgamesh, the king of an Ancient Sumerian city called Uruk portrays the burden of the flawed human nature that we all carry. Although Gilgamesh was two third divine and one-third human, his actions were very much alike of a human’s. He shared minimal characteristics with his mother the Ninsun, the cow goddess, such as bold physical structures and the strength of a wild bull with his mother, Ninsun, but the rest of him including his personality, ways of thinking, and

Dear Ms. Lythcott-Haims, While I was reading your article, “Kids of Helicopter Parents Are Sputtering Out” I was given a glimpse of how stressful it must be for students who have helicopter parents. Being what you would call a ‘free ranger’ myself, I had no problems with parental interference when it came to my studies. In this letter to you I will strive to point out the strongest and weakest parts of your article. You are able to use pathos, ethos and logos in several different ways to get your

oppressive king. After Gilgamesh and Enkidu duke it out and, naturally, become best friends; they decide to go on a conquest for some cedar trees -- like best all best friends do. When they reach the forest, it does not take long until they run across Humbaba. Humbaba, being the guardian of the Cedar forest is not pleased with

There is no doubt that learning outside the classroom should be compulsory for all schools. Many of my own memories from Primary School are those in which I spent outside of the classroom making daisy chains and learning about birds at a local park. Nowadays, children are losing the opportunity to explore their natural world and have fun outside as advances in technology have caused them to play games on their tablets or iPads and the increase of cars means that it is safer for them to play inside

When two characters are so much alike yet so different, it makes a comparison of Gilgamesh and Odysseus an interesting subject. Both stories, “The Epic of Gilgamesh” and “The Odyssey” identify the characters as successful warriors with many adventures to be told. Gilgamesh and Odysseus are human with many god-like qualities. Their perception of immortality, as well as regard for death and the influences of the gods in their lives and adventures, are similar; however, the characters are quite different

The Epic of Gilgamesh has its place as one of the first examples of epic poetry in recorded history. The epic describes the adventures of the demigod-king Gilgamesh who, after the death of his close friend Enkidu, seeks immortality but is ultimately unsuccessful. This story arc is not dissimilar to those found in the epics of the ancient Greeks centuries later. This excerpt from The Epic of Gilgamesh clearly demonstrates Gilgamesh’s reckless lust for pride and fame at all costs. This passage from

For most kids, moving to college is the first time they will be out of their parents house for a long period of time. This opens them up to a lot of new experiences. Ideally, they should be ready to face the new challenges living out of the house will bring. In some cases, the child will have an extremely difficult time learning how to take care of themselves. The parents of the child play a huge role in whether or not their child is ready for this step. When raising the child, they made the decision

Prompt 1: The problem with helicopter parenting Some parents believe that protecting their children and over focusing on their children at all time can be advantageous for their children. However, that’s not always the case. Parents over focusing on theirs children can have a lot of negative effects on the kids. Some parents are doing everything they can for their children and that’s a good thing, yet, doing everything for the kids when their kids are adult can lead to some problems too. There are

goddess, to create something that was equal to Gilgamesh in power. Aruru makes this man out of clay and calls him Enkidu. Enkidu was a mixture between a man and some type of animal; therefore, he was able to live in the forest alongside of animals. A trapper who hunted in that same forest became angry that Enkidu was setting traps free. After going to his father, the trapper travels to Gilgamesh for help. Gilgamesh gives the trapper a harlot named Shamhat to take back with him who will seduce Enkidu and
