However‚ as time goes by the plot starts to become more realistic; Nora starts

In the essay “I Used to Be a Human Being‚” the narrator is facing something we tend to ignore yet has somehow found a way to captivate billions of people worldwide‚ cell phone addiction. I think Andrew Sullivan’s idea of being “alone together” (Sullivan 103) is an interesting term that reflects the way communication and human interaction occur in today’s society. We are so entranced by a small device that we have turned ourselves in obsessive‚ lifeless robots that morph our lives around our Facebook

Utnapishtim’s Flood VS Noah’s Flood Gilgamesh was written thousands of years ago‚ but those who have read Gilgamesh notice something extraordinarily striking about the story of Utnapishtim’s immortality: there is a nearly identical flood story written in the Bible.

In the “Epic of Gilgamesh‚” it talked about how Gilgamesh came into the world of man and how he went about on his epic quest to find immortality and defy death.

Two very similar flood stories are the story of Noah in Genesis and the story of Utnapishtim in the epic of Gilgamesh. I believe that they are similar as they have been said to occur around the same region (which is somewhere around our present day middle-east). The flood in both stories destroys most of mankind. They represent rebirth and a new beginning for mankind. In the epic of Gilgamesh the gods decided to destroy mankind by flooding earth for six days and nights. Utnapishtim was chosen to build

Standing proudly as two of the great pillars of world literature‚ particularly ancient world literature‚ the Book of Genesis and the Epic of Gilgamesh provide a great deal of insight into the nature of early human-animal relationships. In particular‚ the documentary hypothesis‚ which persuasively postulates that the Pentateuch is comprised of the writings of four different sources‚ means that the place and date of authorship of parts within the text (e.g. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2) vary significantly

The epic of Gilgamesh makes reference to the Enuma Elish‚ because both stories include gods and heroes. With expressing all details in a clear and obvious way‚ leaving no doubt as to the true intended meaning one can easily identify an explicit view in the Epic of Gilgamesh‚ when the main character‚ Gilagamesh tries to defeat a giant‚ similar to how Marduk tried to defeat Tiamat in the Enuma Elish.

The story of Gilgamesh starts with Gilgamesh demonstrating many attributes that make him an immoral ruler. He is an unstable combination of two thirds man god and one third human. He is abundant in flaws and virtues‚ he the fiercest of warriors‚ and the greatest of builders. He exhausts his subjects through ceaseless battles and forced labor. He rapes whatever woman he desires with no respect for her social standing. He takes what he desires by indulging his appetites through haphazard uses of power
