The Story of Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh's story takes place at Urk. This story is about the journeys, challenges, and battles Gilgamesh faced. HE and his good friend, Enkidu, fight Humbaba, a wild beast. The both worked together and kill the east. Until Enkidu falls on the ground on the way back home. He dreams about the darkness. Their are his dead ancestors. They only ate stone and drank dirt. Humbaba appeared in his dream and cursed Enkidu. After 12 days he became silent and died. Later on, Gilgamesh sees 2 stone creatures and kill the creatures. An old man begins to scold at him because he killed the only 2 creatures that can pass the water. After the old man and Gilgamesh cross the water and as soon as they reach land Gilgamesh sees the ancient one. The ancient one challenges Gilgamesh. Sadly, Gilgamesh lost. To gain his confidence back he had to come back home, dive in the water to get a red plant that will give him his strength back. As soon as he comes out he falls to sleep. A snake ate the red plant. And Gilgamesh says good bye to his only chance.
There are many messages to the story. I think the most important message is to never give up. Like when he was fighting the wild beast,Humaba. Gilgamesh and Enkidu killed Humbaba. He faced many challenges and never gave up. Even when his friend passed away. Gigamesh's story is all about not giving up. This is one of the messages of the story of Gilgamesh.
All the challenges he faced were incredible. Only a great hero would face this. He even fought two stone creatures. He killed the two creatures which would have been hard to do. He also went to the bottom of the river to find this red plant. He went down to get his strength back. He even had a stone tied to his leg when he went down the river.The challenges of Gilgamesh were amazing.
