Gilgamesh Tablets II and III

The beginning of this book is really good at giving you an the idea of what the book is going to be about. Since the start, we can see that the style of writing was different in the time it was written, which was something that I really liked. It was written in poem form, and sentences were cut down into a type of "paragraphs". It was something I had never seen done.

I also liked the fact that the story showed aspects of life that aren't really happening right now. We could see when Gilgamesh's power was threatened and fought, then kissed and hugged Enkidu. That normally wouldn't have happened. Another thing that was different was that Gilgamesh wanted to prove his force and his power by going to the forest where it was dangerous. In these times, people wouldn't do that; instead they would probably just ask for help to the police or the army. People were a lot braver.

I would like to know from the book later what is Enkidu's role in Gilgamesh's life, because he seemed like a pretty important character.I really liked the II and III tablets, and I hope it stays as fun as it is right now.
