Gilgamesh Blog reading and Questions I

Sorry for not posting these up Earlier, I thought i posted them
but they were saved in drafts

Tablets 1 - 3

This story reminds me a lot of Adam and Eve. Enkidu to me reminds me of Adam as he is a wild man, that, according to the story he has a lot of hair and he doesn't know the ways of the man. The prostitute can be compared to eve as she was the one that introduced him into the world of man and sin.

Tablets 4- 5

Tablets 4-5 remind me of The Hunger Games and in a weird way Ender's Game.
 Even though Enkidu and Gilgamesh had already set off into the Cedar forest, they talk about it the most in these chapters and it reminds me of the Hunger Games. I can just imagine the forest as the one in the hunger games. Also for some reason I thought of the part where Ender is training to be in a forest. It reminded me of this place and it gave me a nice visual in my mind.

Tablets 6 -7

Becuase of Enkidu killing the Bull of heaven he has a dream that there is a counsil in the God world and all the Gods finally choose his faith, he is going to die. His best friend Gilgamesh can not possibly believe this is true. He grieves for his friend. This reminds me of the Tv Show Spartacus when spartacus is sentenced to death and he survives; however, in this story Enkidu does not have the fortune of surviving. It is also comparable because his friend also grieves for him, even after he won.
