Your task in this paper, which should be about 600 to 900 words long (that's
usually two to three pages), is to answer the question: in your understanding of
the message of the epic, does Gilgamesh's story end happily or tragically
(or something else), and why? Explain your answer with references to the
text. Your first draft will be due in one week (Thursday, Sept. 4); have a
preliminary version ready to share and discuss with the class on Tuesday. On
both days, submit your draft via email to me by the beginning of class.
