Answer:

me please

Explanation:

The Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis have many similarities as well as differences.    When comparing the details within the stories, they are very different.  The flood is a major connection between The Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis.   A similarity is the amount of people God or the gods chose to save.  In both stories, it is the one good man which is Noah from Genesis and Utnapishtism from The Epic of Gilgamesh.  They were both told to build an arc or boat. In Genesis, God wasn’t pleased with the people he created.  “And the Lord saw that the evil of the human creature was great on the Earth and that every scheme of his heart’s devising was only perpetually evil” (G 6:34).  There’s too much evil for God.  So he tells Noah to build an arc.  God use the flood to punish the people for being evil by going against his word.  God ask Noah to collect different pairs of animals that exist.  God told Noah to bring his family:  his wife, sons, and his sons’ wives. In The Epic of Gilgamesh the people on Earth became too noisy for the gods.  The gods didn’t like how the situation is unfolding so they send a flood to destroy the humans.  The gods chose Utnapishtm to create a ship and collect pairs of animals to bring on the ship to preserve.

In both stories, while the arc or boat is floating, Noah and Utnapishtim sent out birds.  Noah sent two and Utnapishtim sent three birds.  “The dove went off, but came back to me…I sent forth a swallow and released it.  The swallow went off, but came back to me….I sent forth a raven and released it.  The raven went off…but does not circle back to me.” (Gilgamesh 94)  When the last bird didn’t come back that meant that the flood is gone and they can settle down.

What is one way that Southerners attempted to protect their ports
Delvig [45]

The evasion of the naval blockade during the Civil War was a set of operations designed to avoid the situation of blockade that the unionist side imposed on the Confederate side during the American Civil War, which stretched over 5,600 kilometers (3,500 miles) , from the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and to the Mississippi River. The evasion was carried out by means of steamships, many of them specially built to reach a high speed for the time, that had to sail normally at night to not be detected. If they were sighted, the ships (called blockade runners) tried to maneuver or simply surpass any Union ship that was acting as a blocking patrol. The boats used for this task were generally privately owned, often operating with a privateering license issued by the Confederate States of America.

What effects might the way books were produced in the Middle Ages have had on Europeans and Europe? How Might this have affected
katrin2010 [14]

During the Middle Ages, books were extremely elaborate in Europe. While other civilizations had used easily accessible materials and formats to create their scrolls, books or tablets, Europeans during the Middle Ages spent a great deal of time and money making books. These were bound in leather, decorated with elaborate drawings, and copied by hand in elaborate scripts.

This had a very important effect on European society. It meant that books were not available for the vast majority of the population. It also meant that books were difficult to find and very expensive to acquire. Finally, it also meant that only a very small group of people could read, and these were usually wealthy men and monks.
