What animal represents gilgamesh how?

English
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Gilgamesh is rich in religious symbolism. Religious rituals in Mesopotamia involved sacrifices, festivals, sex, dream interpretation, and shamanic magic, all of which appear in the story. Enkidu’s hirsuteness symbolizes the natural, uncivilized state. The walls of Uruk symbolize the great accomplishments of which mortals are capable. In the context of the ancient king who built them, they represent the immortality he achieved through his acts. Bulls represent explosive, destructive natural power, and the ability to wrestle a bull suggests humanity’s ability to harness nature’s power. This symbolism accounts for Enkidu’s interpretation of Gilgamesh’s dream about the bull in the Cedar Forest. Enkidu says the bull is Humbaba, and that the act of wrestling the bull is Shamash’s blessing. Later in the poem, Enkidu and Gilgamesh do subdue a bull together, perhaps suggesting that humankind has the power to conquer famine.

Which kind of pronoun is the underlined word?
romanna [79]
I see only two pronouns here: "you" and "I" - they are both personal pronouns, so the correct answer, whichever of them is underlined, must be "personal".

Some more information that might help:" a reflexive pronoun usually ends with -self, for example: oneself.

A demonstrative pronoun is for example "this"

Do you think Harrison Bergeron knows he will die as a result of his behavior? Are you shocked by his death? Is it foreshadowed i
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Harrison Bergeron seems to know he will die for he did not try to leave even after he had made his point.

It is not shocking to know he will die for it is better to be dead than being held captive.

There seems to b no foreshadowing for his death.

He did what he did even after knowing he will die because he wants others to see the faults of the government and the need for someone to stand up against this oppression.

Explanation:

"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut is a depiction of a dystopian world where in the name of equality, people are made to wear disguises. Handicap seems to be the norm for equality, for everyone seems to have one thing or another on their body too keep them at par with the rest. Those more intelligent or more physically superior are made to wear disguises to be equal to the others.

The main protagonist Harrison is also made to wear disguise to hide his superiority. In protest against the oppression, he stormed the TV studio at the end of the story. If he had wanted to survive, he would have just made his point and escaped. But instead, he began dancing with a ballerina, urging the others to discard their 'handicaps' and join him. He and the ballerina were shot dead by the Handicapper General.

This death is not shocking as it would have been better to be dead rather than be a captive of an authoritarian government that restricts one's capabilities.

Through his death, Harrison seems to tell the world that this oppression is wrong and that there should be someone brave enough to take on the role of fighting for the right thing.
