The change in Gilgamesh

To be human you have emotion, you feel pain, you have an opinion, and you are not perfect. If you are human you can not usually do anything that is past what your body can withstand. an example of when a character shows humanity is when Enkidu dies of sickness from the gods. When Enkidu is laying sick next to Gilgamesh he is telling him that the gods are taking him, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu begin to cry. In that scene, the god men, Enkidu and Gilgamesh show humanity. By losing a loved one.
 But to be an exceptional human being is you must be able to do things that other humans cannot do. In the story when Gilgamesh kills Humbaba, a beast sent by the gods, which is an example of exceptional humanity, another example of exceptional humanity is when the goddess Ishatar is enraged at Gilgamesh and wants him to be punished so she sends the bull of heaven down to destroy his kingdom, but him and Enkidu show god like power and defeat the bull of heaven which then enraged the Gods.

  1. Very long run-on sentences. I suggest you refrain from that. Fix your grammar, then you will be okay.
