The Story of Gilgamesh


PARAGRAPH 1,The story of Gilgamesh takes place in Uruk,Mesopotamia were the palace of Gilgamesh is placed.The story involves Enkidu,Gilgamesh,and Humbaba.In the beginning,Gilgamesh and Enkidu were tired of everyday life in Uruk,Mesopotamia.So the two fierced worriors decided to go off on an adventure to exciment. Gilgamesh and Enkidu decided to go get some wood for their people.And to go face the great demon Humbaba.Then,when Gilgamesh and Enkidu are walking through the forest they see the great Humbaba.Humbaba told Enkidu and Gilgamesh to leave immediately.But the two worriors decided to stay and fight.In the end,Enkidu and Gilgamesh vanquished the demon Humbaba.And left with the wood to the city Uruk.When the two woreiors returned they had a celebration ready to tell great stories about their adventures.

PARAGRAGH 2,The message of the story is to be brave.I choose this because Gilgamesh and Enkidu went to go get wood even though there was a demon they still went and tried.Also,in they storydefeat Humbaba.And the two worriors got the wood and returning with a celebration.Another reason is because the forest was realy far but they still it kept walking usualy it takes 6 months but this trip only took them 15 days because they were brave and kept moving on.

PARAGRAPH 3,I believe Gilgamesh is a hero because he could defeat a demon which was fascinating.Also he took Humbaba's head along with the wood .In addition,he could sommon the great winds to defeat Humbaba.Finaly,he could keep walking on his journy to the forest which was realy far and chalenging.In my opinion,Gilgamesh is a hero.
