Writing Assignment—20 points
Due:
The beginning of class, Tuesday, January 11, 2011. (please see our online calendar) Assume the character of Gilgamesh represents all humanity. Further, assume that his nature and his experiences are attempts to define human nature and humankind’s relationship to God, the gods, a higher power, and/or an inscrutable universe.
Identify and discuss two of Gilgamesh’s qualities and/or experiences that might be generalized to humankind and explain what each reflects about our nature and our relationship to forces we do not understand or control. Note: Please remember that since this is a ‘W’ course, the quality of your writing will in part determine the points you earn. Please turn in a thoughtful, edited draft. |
