Gods And Goddesses Bull Of Heaven
1,266 words
In both The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Hebrew
Bible, the humans are constantly coming into
contact with supreme beings; weather they are
polytheistic or monotheistic. Each book describes
its own God, or gods and goddesses, in different
manners. In Gilgamesh the gods and goddesses are
more personal with the humans and guide them on
their way. Where as God in the Bible is more of an
observer who contacts only those he wants to save.
It seems to me that the deities in Gilgamesh are
more willing to h...

Their purpose in the story, on a figurative level,
is to represent the monolithic thinking of a small

neighbors do is the only sensible rule. Without a

Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, and Ethan

authors and may have seemed completely different.
The main characters of these books, Huck Finn,
Ethan Frome, and Jay Gatsby, appeared to be three
distinct persons, but in one aspect or another
came together as one. Love and communication
served to bring these three characters together

s, it describes the life of Hester Prynne, a
Puritan woman whose existence is marred by sin.

description. Hawthorne makes allusion, symbolism,

the air surrounding both schools are not quite the
same. One school is dedicated to preparing its
students for college and the other was simply a

popular theme for poets in the last century was
war. Many famous poems were written about the two
world wars, as well as the Korean and Vietnam
wars. For my report I have chosen six poems, three
by Wilfred Owen and three by Australian poets.

Insensibility (1) were written by Owen during the
first world war to express his anti-war attitude.
