Answer: C. it emphasizes the length of Gilgamesh and Enkidu's journey

Explanation:

Gilgamesh: A New English Version is a book about Gilgamesh, written by Stephen Mitchell. The purpose of this version is to make the oldest epic poem accessible. The poem tells a story of Gilgamesh and his journey of self-discovery.

Enkidu is a friend of Gilgamesh. The Gods create him to help Gilgamesh control his arrogance. The two of them fight against the evil together and thus become very close. The repetition of this excerpt emphasizes the length of their journey - they stopped to eat after having passed four hundred miles, and pitched their camp at thousand miles.

What two players struck out in the poem Casey the bat
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in 1888' is the full title of an American poem written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer. The poem tells the story of the final half-inning of a baseball game. The home team of Mudville is losing four to two. The first two batters for Mudville quickly strike out, but the following two get on base safely so that a home run will win the game for Mudville. The next batter is the team's star hitter Mighty Casey, whom the crowd believes will pull through.

In the poem, Mighty Casey gets two pitches right down the middle of the plate, but he passes them up, waiting for an even better pitch to hit. The crowd is in a frenzy because one more strike means that Casey is out and the game is over.

Mighty Casey sneers at the pitcher with determination, and the pitcher makes the third pitch. Casey swings incredibly hard, and the author notes that in other places in the country, people are happy and smiling -- but not in the ballpark because Casey has struck out to lose the game for Mudville.
