Answer:

Gilgamesh was a king of Uruk (c. 2700 B.C.) His legend is described in an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia - "Epic of Gilgamesh." The term "epic" stands for a long poem about a hero.

An epic hero is a courageous hero from an epic poem. There are multiple reasons why Gilgamesh fits into the concept of an epic hero. First of all - he is two parts god. Epic heroes usually possess supernatural qualities. At the very beginning of the epic, the narrator lists Gilgamesh's virtues and reveals that he is two-thirds god and one-third man. This revelation prepares the readers for Gilgamesh's accomplishments and introduces him as a true hero. Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu will fight all sorts of supernatural creatures - they will kill Humbaba, the guardian of a forest where the Gods live, as well as the Wild Bull of Heaven.

As an epic hero is always charged with a quest, in Gilgamesh's example, his quest is to find immortality. Gilgamesh loses his friend, which motivates him to begin this quest. He goes into the twelve leagues of darkness:  <em>"At the end of five leagues, the darkness was thick and there was no light, he could see nothing ahead and nothing behind him....." </em>Gilgamesh succeeds in his mission when he meets Utnapishtim the Faraway who presents him with a herb of immortality. However, a serpent steals it.

How is the speaker's point of view in the poem "Child of the Americas" used to explore cultural identity?
atroni [7]

Answer:

The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity.

Explanation:

<em>Child of the Americas</em> is a poem written by Aurora Levins Morales. It is written from the first-person point of view. This point of view is recognizable by the use of pronouns <em>I</em> and<em> we.</em> The speaker tells about their feelings or events they go through from their own perspective. We can notice this in the given poem starting from the first line: <em>I am a child of the Americas...</em>

Throughout the poem, she tells about her cultural identity and claims ownership of it. She tells about how mixed the culture that surrounds her is and in what way. There is no mention of racism in this poem.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

An Analysis on ""Are Too Many People Going to College"" Charles Murray’s essay proposes that American colleges are being flooded
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

I think he´s (partly) right

Explanation:

Partly right because yes, colleges are flooded with individuals who seem to be out of place and not learning anything that they could have learned outside the school building. Murray´s essay follows quite clearly the opinion of Noam Chomsky.  The strategical creation of a separated American class system is a daring theory that needs some (personal) coments because of its elitist element, i.e. we who study have (keep) the power.  

Two examples:

México is a democracy in name where the powerful and rich people send their kids - no matter how stupid they are - to college schools and private universities that only exist as the entry door to a well-paid job. And even if you don´t go to university you can always buy your degree, as former president Fox did.

Germany is a real democracy that has a social education system. It is costly but the economic support (bafug in German) for students is based on how much your parents earn. If your parents are poor you get more money per month to study and vice versa.

Now kindly look at the American educational system and see if it resembles more the Mexican or the German system.
