gilgmesh

There were a wild man. His name was Enkidu.Enkidu would kill the animal,Then eat them.Then Gilgamesh and and Enkidu fight then they became friends.Gilgamesh an Enkidu go to the woods to fight the demon.So they go and they kill the demon and they cut down the trees.

I think that the message is that enemy's can be friends.They be came friends because Gilgamesh accepted him . Also that you can be a team to fight what you believe in.If you look at them they fraught together and worked together.This is what i think the story was about.

I think Gilgamesh is a hero.He is a hero because he built walls to protect his people.Also he almost risk his life to kill demons.He went to a place like hevaen then he had to go to the deadly water to get a plant.This is why he is a hero.
