Reflection Paper 1 In Genesis 22 God decides to test Abraham. He tests Abraham by instructing him to take his son‚ Isaac‚ to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him. Abraham obeyed and took Isaac to the land of Moriah‚ without Isaac knowing what was actually going on. Just as soon as Abraham was ready to kill his son‚ an angel of the Lord stopped him and told him that he knew he feared God. The angel then gave Abraham a lamb to sacrifice instead of his son. Since Abraham obeyed his command‚ the

That is why I chose Epic of Gilgamesh‚ Homer’s Iliad‚ and Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince as works that I would include in my syllabus if I was a World Literature instructor. I feel that no matter where in the world an instructor is teaching at‚ he or she has to include the world’s earliest known written literature in their syllabus. That is one of my main reason for including the Epic of Gilgamesh in my syllabus. The culture and civilization that wrote

The Epic of Gilgamesh The Epic of Gilgamesh tells the story of a legendary king of Uruk in South Baby-lonia (van Reeth 1994). He was the fifth ruler of Uruk after the deluge and possibly ruled Uruk around 2800 BCE (van Reeth 1994). The Epic itself was originally conveyed in oral form‚ but was written down in Sumerian using cuneiform writing on clay tablets around 2000 BCE (Hooker 1996).

Tom Fletcher – OTL611 Genesis Reading and Summary Statements The Creation Event: Genesis 1.1 – 2.24 This is a narrative of the Creation account. I note the obvious theme of “blessing” in 2.3 where “God blessed the seventh day…” I also see an indirect theme of blessing throughout the creation drama as The Lord God sees what he has created as “good” (1.4‚ 10. 12‚ 18‚ 21‚ 25‚ 31).

Azra Sabovic Response Paper Gilgamesh The Epic of Gilgamesh is very complex‚ but it is also considered one of the greatest epics in the Western literature. In the story we can find several contradictions‚ from which I chose the friendship between Enkidu and Gilgamesh. The story of Gilgamesh starts off by the description of Gilgamesh‚ "the strongest one of all‚the perfect‚the terror" (Ferry 4). Initially‚ Gilgamesh appeared as someone who isn’t able to have feelings nor relationships. Although

Gender Roles of Gilgamesh In the epic of Gilgamesh both genders male and female play significant roles in the success and downfalls of Gilgamesh. Each gender helps shape and evolves him in his journey through this epic. Though Gilgamesh and Enkidu are the main characters and they are both male the females play just as important roles as them. For Enkidu to become a big factor in Gilgamesh’s life a female (Harlot) has to make Enkidu a man and make him civil. The roles of each gender both play
