In The Epic of Gilgamesh, who does Gilgamesh seek to learn the secret of eternal life?

English
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago
6 0
Hi, he sought Utnapishtim, who is sort of an equivalent to Moses, both of them had to build a boat in order to save themselves from the great flood that gods sent them. Utnapishtim was awarded immortality for being loyal to gods, and Gilgamesh is obsessed with the idea of eternal life, thus he seeks Utnapishtim and gods (primarily Enlil) to become immortal as well.

Which bolded word or phrase is a gerund?
Paha777 [63]

Okay so gerunds are a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing, example would be like asking in 'do you mind my asking you?'

So the first one would be 'giggling', then the second one would be 'fixing.'

the next two would be a bit harder because there are no words that have a prefix of -ing, but im not to sure about them because i dont think they have a gerund in them...

but the next ones are, 'laughing' and 'squinting'

sorry i couldnt help with all of them.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul" are examples of characterization that suggest Paul
NemiM [27]

Answer:

  1. He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly.
  2. One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign.

Explanation:

The two sentences listed above characterize Paul as a superstitious person. A superstitious person is a person who strongly believes in irrational things (for example, a belief in magic). Common superstitions include:

  • if you break a mirror, you will have bad luck for seven years
  • if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck awaits you
  • if you open an umbrella inside your house, you will have bad luck, etc.

Paul, in these sentences, is presented as someone who believes that broken-horse shoes, cross-eyed woman, number thirteen, or his hat on the bed announce that bad things will happen. All of these examples suggest that Paul is a superstitious person.
