Gilgamesh's relationship with Enkidu teaches him many life lessons. Discuss two of the lessons that he learned on his journey. W
Vadim26 [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the ancients books or documents known to historians. It is probably the first one in the history of humanity. It relates to the life and adventures of Gilgamesh, in ancient Mesopotamia.

Yes, in the story, Gilgamesh's relationship with Enkidu teaches him many life lessons.

One of the lessons that he learned on his journey is the persistence to accomplish what you want, despite the toughest circumstances. The other lesson is that death is inevitable. It is part of the life of humans, It is the end of the trip.

Gilgamesh is presented as 1/3 human and 2/3 god while Enkidu is presented as half human and half animal before he is "tamed" because according to the story and the narrative of the Sumerians, it was the gods who came to earth from the sky. They were known to be giants and had special "knacks" or characteristics. When these gods married human women, then, they breed a rare mixture of humans with other species.

Those texts can be found in the famous clay tablets of the Sumerians.

In which two ways does the modern US political system differ from that of ancient Rome?
igomit [66]

Answer:

A. The government functioned as a single body of law in ancient Rome and E. ancient roman male citizens were required to serve in the military is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The people of Ancient Rome established the republic after overthrowing the last Etruscan king while the American people founded the republic after the American Revolution. Both Americans and Romans set up a government which is ruled by the people and for the people and both the systems are republic.

In republic, the head of the government is elected by the people and they elect their representatives for making laws. There are both similarities and dissimilarities between the ancient Roman republic and the government of US, both of them have executive and legislative branches in their government along with set of checks and balances. The head of the executive was the head of the military in both the governments, Executive also had the veto power and both governments had written laws.

The differences were that the Roman republic didn’t had a separate Judicial branch and the Rome was run by more than one consuls while the US has only one president. There was a provision for the dictator to take over the government in emergency situations but there is no such concept in US. The consuls also had religious duties while there it isn’t so in US. The slave labor was used In Roman republic while slavery has been outlawed in US. The Roman senators served for life while US senators serve only for six years. Roman women were not allowed to participate in government while they can do so in US. The roman social class was rigid in nature while the US social class  is flexible.

What does this quote from the text mean, "Westward fled the refugees from this new Sahara, as if obedient to the old American tr
Andrej [43]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide any options, we can say that the meaning of the quote "Westward fled the refugees from this new Sahara, as if obedient to the old American tradition that westward lies the land of promise," means the following.

During the Dust Bowl years, farmers from the plains lived the worst conditions to farm the land. The dry weather and the lack of rain created dust storms that choked and killed the animals and the land was impossible to farm. This situation made things worse during the Great Depression years in the United States, That is why people decided to move to the Pacific West in order to find new life opportunities or starting from scratch. That is why, for some people, the west coast seemed like the promised land.

That quote is part of the text included in the book <em>"Since Yesterday: The 1930s in America," </em>written by Frederick Lewis Allen.
