Questions and Topics We Can Help You Answering; 

  1. Although it certainly should include specific notes and details re the actual story, it should not be limited to a summary of the plot, i.e. what happens in the story.  Rather your reactions to those notes and details.


    B. It should include your specific questions regarding the fragmented quality of the story, what isn't clear and what's left out, along with responses to (if not potential answers to those questions).  For example: the creation and the transformation of Enkidu is fascinating, as well as puzzling; but, so what?  What might this aspect of the story tell us about this most ancient tale -- and our own past as evolving human cultures -- specifically the examples and characterizations of human feeling and behavior.  Enkidu's feelings?  Humbaba's true character?  Saduri's advice?  Ninsun's reaction to Gilgamesh's venture into the Cedar Forest?


    C. It should include links or references that reflect some research into traditional commentaries or reactions to the stories.  All critical responses not your own should include links to their sources.  The number available on the Internet re this story appear to be unlimited, and I've included several under External Links.


    D.  As to it's length:  pages of electronically prepared posts somehow do not compare well to published pages, so length is going to depend on your ability to be concise.  However, even with concise paragraphs, there would have to be at least a half dozen significant posts -- or what would be several otherwise double-spaced pages of regular text.  [A final note: we're working with established Word texts, with it's traditional rules, here.  Not coded text messaging.  Spell-Grammar-Usage apps are recommended.]


    D. Finally, though it might be posted in several parts as you move along through your study of the text, before it is submitted for a grade it should be organized in a way that reflects your final "take," understanding, or critical assessment of the text -- just as you would do for a portfolio.
