Reflection On The Epic Of Gilgamesh

Thank you Veterans Veterans do a lot for us by defending our country and our home. We thank them by having a full day dedicated to our veterans. Three reasons that I think veterans should be thanked for are; going out to defend our country when no ones else does, I also want to thank you for demonstrating a great work ethic and doing all of this work for people you don’t even know. The first thing I want to thank you for was for defending our country.

The Soldiers’ Monument is located in Phinney Park in Gorham, ME. Commemorating the citizens who served in the Great War, the monument was erected in 1936 as part of the town 's bicentennial celebration. The monument is made of red granite, and includes a bronze plaque which is engraved with the names of the one-hundred and thirty-five veterans from Gorham. Among the names are, Lewis L. Alden who served as a private in the 33rd Co, and died of disease on September. 22., 1918 at the age of 29 and Austin Alden (b. 1893 - 1978), a long time resident of Gorham.

Appreciating individuality and self worth is a victorious reckoning in a person 's life also shaping the course of their destiny. Equality was once indifferent compared to others and would suppress his hopes and desires to fit in. A pivotal change occurred in him when he accepted who he is and embraced it blocking out dismissive opinions. Nonetheless, he has established his own set of values which are influenced by his experiences. Equality has come such a long way in his personal development that he now identifies

Whether it is having a moment of silence, or just thanking a veteran, it is important that we do something. They sacrificed a lot for us, and we need to show our appreciation. Memorial day and Veterans day get confused, Memorial day is honoring veterans who have passed away, Veterans day is to honor ALL veterans. They risked or even lost their lives for us and for our country. We need to show them that what they did for us

He has both heroic traits and human weaknesses, which makes him an epic hero. He has defeated a Cyclops, and defeated suitors that were attracted to his wife. Odysseus portrays superhuman strengths in different ways throughout his journey, and exceptional courage. He is very strong and a great leader, and comes upon, but overcomes, many wild beasts. Odysseus excels in using

He risks his life and is courageous because he fights off the monsters. He is goes the extra mile for Hrothgar by going to kill Grendel's mother and the dragon. This is what makes a hero a hero. The first commemoration asked by Beowulf to have done is to have a tomb made for his body.

John Proctor is also loyal because he died for the love of his wife. For example, Proctor says, “...” This also makes John loyal because he died for Elizabeth. He wants to prove that he would do anything for his wife and marriage, and him confessing was the way to free her, so he did it. At the end he could have just accused someone else, but he didn’t want to accuse an innocent person.

“Throughout the epic narrative, the emphasis is placed on the solitary nature of the hero’s task. Beowulf appears to live and fight alone” (Fisher). He became the savior of the Danes and the Geats because he saved the people from great

Bimbo was telling him the way out—urging him there.” This shows that Bimbo is risking his life to let Tito live even if he has to die. This is important because it shows that both Bimbo and Summer sacrificed something for their friend. It does not matter how much they sacrificed, but they still sacrificed something. Because Bimbo sacrificed his life and Summer sacrificed her popularity, it shows their friends that they are loyal to them no matter what hardships that they get in

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a story of two Gods who come together from completely different paths and develop a strong, deep, spiritual bond. Gilgamesh is a God who presides over the Sumerian city of Uruk. Gilgamesh is the son of man and is the handsomest, strongest man alive, however, he is also the most feared man due to his lack of compassion and his hunger for power and domination. Gilgamesh loves to fight the other men of the city, as well as sleep many women. Another God, Anu, decided to create someone to balance Gilgamesh in hopes of giving him a companion who can keep up.

The theme applies to our lives in our society because we shouldn’t be afraid when it comes to the point where you need to make a difference or save lives by risking your own life considering that there are people who died with honor or became amazing heroes from doing this and they are not afraid since they know that they are doing the right thing like protecting the people who need their help. This story motivated me to not be afraid to risk your for others and to not be a bystander to violence. I would totally recommend this book to others who are interested in historical fiction, adventure stories about sailing, and

I know you can win this war!” The reason it’s making me re-enlist is because the people need my help to get their freedom just like my friend. And I will get it for them and my friend. I will do what I can and besides I want to die for honor and purpose for my country than to die with nothing to live for and no reason to

A veteran is someone who has served a long time in the military, no matter what their age. Veterans are important to our freedom because while serving their time, you have to remember that they are fighting for your right to be free in the United States. Without them, there wouldn’t be any freedom in this world. They fight for what they believe in and what is right for the country. You have to remember, these war vets are putting their lives on the line for people they don’t even know.

A Veteran whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to, and including his/her life.” I’m honored to be speaking with you today on such an important occasion. We’re here today to honor our service members and to remember their sacrifices they have made and the courage it take to defend honor, duty and the country. May we always be humbly grateful…. to the brave American patriots…who suffered and sacrificed for the freedom of all Americans.

Veterans are those who served in the military and fought in the war. They are someone who supported the country. Without them, United States of America would not be formed. Freedom, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are rights that we have today, but without the veteran these rights will be all gone and America will not be the America that we see today. They are the one who make our dream possible.
