Two very similar flood stories are the story of Noah in Genesis and the story of Utnapishtim in the epic of Gilgamesh. I believe that they are similar as they have been said to occur around the same region (which is somewhere around our present day middle-east). The flood in both stories destroys most of mankind. They represent rebirth and a new beginning for mankind. In the epic of Gilgamesh the gods decided to destroy mankind by flooding earth for six days and nights. Utnapishtim was chosen to build

What’s important about the title of ’Lord of the Flies’? Ans:- "Lord of the Flies" refers to one of the names for the Devil (Beelzebub).

When people tell me or ask me about the Epic of Gilgamesh I automatically assume they are talking about the flood in the bible. Mostly every Christian was taught about Noah’s Ark‚ and most have no clue what the Epic of Gilgamesh is‚ like me. It makes you wonder and have questions like the video of the Epic of Gilgamesh says‚ "who had it first‚ the Mesopotamian’s or the biblical world?" Also‚ how is it even

Compare/Contrast Essay Most short stories have the same basic motifs‚ whether it is a damsel in distress being saved by the hero‚ the perfect fairytale marriage and life after‚ or even the risk of having secrets. These three motifs stand out in “The Ring” and “The Five Helpers”‚ each in its own unique way. Showing off these themes in different ways helps to look at not only the differences of stories‚ but also the things they have in common. The damsel in distress motifs in “The Five Helpers”
