The Adventure of Gilgamesh and Enkidu

Gilgamesh and Enkidu are in the middle east.They start to get bored because there was nothing fun to do around.They want to go on an adventure so they agree to go and get cedar wood.They heard many stories about how there was a demon who lived there and that was Humbaba.So they go through 15 days of traveling through the desert.Gilgamesh and Enkidu are finally there and they barely tap the wood with their axis and hear a groan and that was humbaba.Humbaba said to leave immideatly leave his forest,but they agreed to stay and fight the demon.Finally they beat Humbaba and Humbaba gave up.They both cut Hmbabas head and took as much wood as they could carry so they went back to mesopotamia with Humbabas head with them.

I think that the message of this story is that nothing is impossible.Many of the stories people told were that the forest was coursed and that Humbaba would like kill you if you took his trees.Then Gilgamesh and Enkido decided to go in there even though they knew it was dangerous.So then after that they beat Humbaba and that showed that for everyone nothing is impossible whether it is a job,etc.Then later in the story they take what they accomplished and show that they were victorious.Then they are so happy and tell everyone that they beat Humbaba and everyone told stories and different tales of what they did.Everyone was so excited and proud of them then after they beat the demon.That is what I think the message from this reading was.

I do believe that Gigamesh is a hero bacause he saved the city from the evil demon Humbaba from hurting anyone.He was so brave to do this and he is like superman he saves the city from harm.Also Gilgamesh went with weapons and enough supply tostop the bad guy and then he actually saved people almost forever because he is a demon and he was the like owner of the forest.I think Gilagamesh will always be around because of the adventure he went through.They said that Humbaba was the evilest and he was very big and strong for any human to beat and it was forbiden to go in to his forest.Then usually people like a hero and that was how Gilgamesh was with his people and his city the saver.This is why I think Gilgamesh is a hero.
