Gilgamesh


The setting of the story is the city of Urk and, the flat plains and also the distant mountains.The rising action of the story is everybody heard stories about the demon Humbaba who guarded the cedar forest.Humbab roar sounded like flood,his mouth was like fire and,his breath was like death.The falling action is that the king Gilgamesh and,Enkidu leave the city Urk.The resolution of the story is that they cut humbaba head!!!The people listen to their great tells .


The message of the story Gilgamesh is that never loose hope on something you can accomplish.Something else i think that was the message is that we all,need to be kind and loving to one another. My favorite part was that Gilgamesh did his best on trying to help his friend Enkidu.I really enjoyed reading and, watching Gilgamesh and,his journey.


Gilgamesh was a true hero because,he provide safe for the people who lived in the city of Urk.He also was a true friend to Enkidu because ,he tyred his best to get him to relive and, he wanted to become immortal to save him .He also was a hero because, he had he the guts to stand up to the demon Humbaba,and to cut of the head of him.This is why i think he is a true hero,to ancient Mesopotamian.
