Tablets I-III:

In these first few pages I conected The book Gilgamesh to the movie Troy.In Troy all of the warriors feared the mighty Aquiles , more powerfull , strong and mighty than all . Like Gilgamesh , the strongest of all , the perfect.Later on in Gilgamesh comes Enkidu , who clames to be the strenght of wild men bron in the wilderness , and can not be withstood. In the movie troy later on , comes Hector a great warrior who clames to be the best of all and challenges Aquiles , like Enkidu in the book challenges Gilgamesh. I also conect this book a lot to Troy since in Troy they all believe and trust in the Gods , and in Gilgamesh the gods are also a big part of the story.

Tablets IV-V:

These Tablets made me wonder , is Enkidu really traducing Gilgameshes dreams corecctly , do they really mean those thongs?Or are they some sort of warnings from the gods , warning them to not do and do certain things do surivive. Im also wondering if Huwawa means it when he says that he will be Gilgameshs's servant and protector , or if he is just saying it so this way Gilgamesh wont kill him and Shamash will stop sending him storms and winds.

Tablets VI-VII:

After reading these last tablets my questions from the last one were answered. Basically I was right about Enkidu interpreting the dreams in a diffrent way. They werent exactly warnings from the gods to Gilgamesh , But they were some how warnings for Gilgamesh to give him a heads up of what was coming in the future. Sadly gilgamsh didnt know this soon enough.Now im wondering if Enkidu's dream about the Wild Bull atacking him and Gilgamesh getting scared and not helping Enkidu. Now im wondering if this dream is going to be like the one about the giant crack in the city and people dying , that did become true or if its just a regular dream and maybe it may be true but instead Gilgamesh does do something about it to help.

Tablets X-XI

I really enjoyed the last page of this tablet , its probably been my favorite part of all the book."How long does a building stand before it falls?" This was my favorite part , I find it very meaningful its basically asking , how much can something stand until it breaks down. I relate this to the tv show Pretty Little Liars , since in this show you notice that these girls can only take certain amount of problems until the breakdown. Even though I really enjoyed this part of the tablet I didn't understand it 100%. Im wondering how do all these quotes relate to the heroe Gilgamesh reo?
