Gilgamesh

     I saw a video about Gilgamesh. It was cool. The setting was in Uruk in Mesopotamia. The rising action was that Gilgamesh was bored and needed more cities to conquer. The gods looked at Gilgamesh and saw he needed something to do. They sent Ekidu to destroy Gilgamesh, he was much faster and stronger than Gilgamesh. The climax was that Ekidu was eating people and animals. The falling action was that Ekidu found Gilgamesh. They fighted and fighted. The resolution was that they became friends.
     The message of the story is to inform you and tell you about the story of Gilgamesh. It is trying to explain the reasons Gilgamesh was bored. It tells you that Gilgamesh was a great king of Uruk. The message is also to tell you how a well king he was and his problems. He had many problems. It is trying to tell you to be a good king(or person)and to not make mastakes. And if you do correct them.
        I think he was a hero because he saved the people from being killed by Eridu because they became friends. He killed that wolf from the forest. He built huge walls around Uruk to keep them safe. He was also very kind to the people. He was a half king and half god. He was a great king which made him into hero. He was the first hero. He made Uruk into a great city-state of Mesopotamia.
