Answer 1

1) Endiku is created to serve as a foil in the story. He is basically a partner that emphasizes his characteristics. But the goddess creates him so that he and Gilgamesh can fight and become friends.
2) He said that no one has ever succeeded. Gilgamesh isn't afraid at all. It's quite the contrary, he is ready for anything
3) I don't remember the exact matericals, but I know the references are according to what was valued in the Sumerian Culture
4)Seems like I'm doing your homework here, Jr...I'll let you do this one
5) Enkidu dies. There are (in my world lit book, from what I can remember) about 100 lines of nothign but Gilgamesh lamenting the loss of his great friend. Sorry to kill the suspense. He's killed. gilgamesh weeps, the whole nation weeps, and for a while gilgamesh seems quite aimless in life.
6) He is very effective, though somewhat juvenile. He fights for sport and battles the gods....he reminds me of hercules, except I liked Hercules better because I didn't have to read about him for class...

Hope that helps...I hated reading Gilgamesh. If you get the chance, I'd recommend reading Inanna (it's also a sumerian tale)

Answer 2

why do you expect me to do your homework for you???

the Gilgamesh epic does not take that long to read...a good summary would only take an hour or so to read

Mark the words of Utanapishtim
"Cast away fear and sorrow. Rejoice in your heart that the heavenly gods love you and have smiled upon you."
