Eve and Enkidu are perfect examples of complementary personas. Both people serve to quench the personalities to which they provide counterpoint‚ Enkidu in showing Gilgamesh that he is not invincible and Eve in showing Adam that his companion in life will stick with him through thick and thin. It is by the actions and behaviors

    In Baldwin’s essay “Notes of a Native Son” the narrator of the story was born from a very bitter man who was born in New Orleans and was a young man at the time of Louis Armstrong his father was African American and was very dark skinned as if he came straight from Africa.
