Think Through Gilamesh

1. My reaction to Gilamesh quest for immortality is that why would he want to be immortal when he's a 2/3 of a god.
Gilamesh wanted to find Utnapishtim because he wanted everlasting life. Utnapishtim tells Gilamesh the story about the Gods. Utnapishtim becomes immortal because the gods took him and made him that.

2. He can't accept the fact that humans being died because he was part human and afraid of death.

3. The story ends with Gilamesh proudly showing Urshanabi the city of Uruk because he was the king of that city.

4. The strongest effect on Gilamesh in this story was when his friend died of the sickness in the begining.

5. I think that the story of Gilamesh might continue with him trying to find another way to have everlasing life. I think he will be a brave and noble king because he's part god and compassionate because he's human.

6. In our world when somebody dies people have ceremonies and pay tribute to them in honor.
