The Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Genesis have very minor differences‚ but these differences make each story distinct. When God made human beings he did so because he

    What I Expect From This English 103 Class Students need to do a lot of reading and writing in higher level English classes. But what makes English 103 unique I believe‚ is the intensity and the depth of reading materials required.

Some similarities between the two are that they are both strong‚ almost undefeatable; no match
