GILGAMESH'S STORY

   Gilgamesh's story is a very interesting one. His story takes place in the city of Uruk. he existed four thousand years ago. the sky god trorizes gilgamesh with ungreatful things like creating enkidu to plage his city. enkidu kills all the animals they have and eats them. gilgamesh trys to stop it,enkidu. they become friends and go on an adventure to slay the demon humbaba and cut down its trees. gilgamesh starts to have bad dreams that make him worry about the journy. they win the battel and killed the demon and destroyed the trees. enkidu starts to have bad dreams and gets ill then dies. gilgamesh goes on his own journy. he goes through many obsticals and acomplishes them. gilgamesh finds an end to his journy but starts to make many mistakes. it ends up that gilgamesh dosent acomplish his journy to be immortal.
    i think the messageof this story is you cant always acomplish something nor can u give up but you can be proud of what you have.i think this is the message because gilgamesh,at the end of his journy,gilgamesh aprecieates what he has and what he created. gilgameshdidnt acomplish his task but he tried his best and gave effort. he also never gave up even though it was as if he had bad luck because evrything was going wrong and nothing went well.
       i believe gilgamesh is a hero because his enemy became his friend and that is very hard to do when u dont like someone and they end up being your best friend. also that gilgamesh was brave. gilgamesh is a hero because he went through many obsticals and he was able to do them. he was a good hero because he was differen from any other person.
