Journal entry ENG-2331

 

PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR JOURNAL AS A FILE ATTACHMENT (MS WORD OR .RTF). DO NOT TYPE OR CUT AND PASTE  IT INTO THE TEXT BOX.

In at least 300 words, please answer the following question and support your answer with at least five quotations from The Epic of Gilgamesh. Cite the page number for each quotation. Please use MLA format (the default format used in ENGL classes). This assignment does not require you to use any sources other than the Epic, but if you choose to use any please cite them. Using material from a source (quoting, summarizing, paraphrasing) without giving credit to the source is plagiarism and will result in a grade of zero for the assignment for first-time offenders and in a failing grade for the entire course for repeat offenders.

In your opinion, how does  The Epic of Gilgamesh showcase the hero’s journey from toxic masculinity to actually being a hero? What does it teach us about the emotional side of being a hero? Please explain the reasons for your opinion.
