Adventure's of Gilgamesh

The story of Gilgamesh takes place in Uruk a busy city on the flat Mesopotamia. The story involves Gilgamesh, Humbaba, and Enkidu. In the beginning, Gilgamesh wanted to see the world and go to an adventure. Gilgamesh suggested they journey across the plain distance mountains so they could bring back some wood from the cedar forest. Then when Gilgamesh and Enkidu are walking through the forest they see they guessed that the sound was the demon Humbaba. Suddenly, the demon stood before Gilgamesh and Enkidu. In the end, in a booming voice Humbaba demanded to know why they had entered his forest. Humbaba got defeated by Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

The message of the story is Gilgamesh and Enkidu defeated Humbaba. I choose this because in the story it is mainly about their fighting with Humbaba. Also in the story Humbaba threatened to destroy the two friends Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Another reason is because in the story it says Humbaba threatened to destroy the two friends if they did not leave immediately.

I believe Gilgamesh is a hero because he defeated the demon. Also, he was brave to enter the forest with Enkidu. In addition, he says he was frightened but he and Enkidu decide to stay and fight. Finally, he went back to his village with the demon head and wood. In my opinion, Gilgamesh is a hero.
