In a fully developed paragraph argue that the epic of gilgamesh eother reflects aspects of. mesopotamian life or that it is a univeraal story with a universal theme

The Epic of Gilgamesh, from the time it was rediscovered and reconstructed in the late

nineteenth century, has created a sense of controversy and curiosity among historians of the ancient

near east. A huge reason for the excitement was the incorporations of other stories and the

evidence of the flood story from Genesis. With this, the Epic creates a parallel to the bible and the

society of Mesopotamia nearly 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh is known to be the first great hero, and

the epic is known as the ‘first great masterpiece of world literature’. With this story we can learn a

lot about Mesopotamian culture and their religion, but what exactly? Throughout their culture, we

find many examples of similar instances that continue for years to come. Some of these instances

are the idea of a strong male leader and a council of city elders, but also the gender division, which

is important throughout their religion too. There seems to be a concern with the rights of the

citizens, as Gilgamesh is expected to be a just ruler, and being a ruler with outrage over his abuses

actually leads to the creation of Enkidu in the story.

take five to 10 minutes to warm up and cool down properly.

plan to start slowly and boost your activity level gradually unless you are already exercising frequently and vigorously.

be aware that training too hard or too often can cause overuse injuries like stress fractures, stiff or sore joints and muscles, and inflamed tendons and ligaments. sports prompting repetitive wear and tear on certain parts of your body — such as swimming (shoulders), jogging (knees, ankles, and feet), tennis (elbows) — are often overuse culprits, too. a mix of different kinds of activities and sufficient rest is safer.

listen to your body. hold off on exercise when you're sick or feeling very fatigued. cut back if you cannot finish an exercise session, feel faint after exercise or fatigued during the day, or suffer persistent aches and pains in joints after exercising.

if you stop exercising for a while, drop back to a lower level of exercise initially. if you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer reps or sets.

for most people, simply drinking plenty of water is sufficient. but if you're working out especially hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose drinks that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

choose clothes and shoes designed for your type of exercise. replace shoes every six months as cushioning wears out.

for strength training, good form is essential. initially use no weight, or very light weights, when learning the exercises. never sacrifice good form by hurrying to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

exercising vigorously in hot, humid conditions can lead to serious overheating and dehydration. slow your pace when the temperature rises above 70°f. on days when the thermometer is expected to reach 80°f, exercise during cooler morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. watch for signs of overheating, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, cramps, or palpitations.

dress properly for cold-weather workouts to avoid hypothermia. depending on the temperature, wear layers you can peel off as you warm up. don't forget gloves.
