Purpose: Practice comparing and contrasting creation and/or flood stories. This discussion should build your critical reading and analysis skills, as well as help prepare you for your essays later in the course. Keep in mind that, as the Creation Stories and Flood Narratives page states, your central concern is to understand what these features reveal about the relationship between the divine creators and their creation, especially human beings.
Tasks: After carefully reading the materials in this unit and completing the quiz and discussion, respond thoughtfully to the prompt below in an essay with a minimum of 750 words.
Prompt: While reading Gilgamesh and the excerpt from Genesis included in the Unit 1 materials, consider the relationships depicted between divine creators and their creations, especially human beings
In the epic Gilgamesh, we see the ancient Mesopotamian god Enlil interact with Gilgamesh and Enkidu. In Genesis, we see the god of that text interact with Adam and Eve. What might happen if these deities switched epics? Consider how Enlil might respond to Adam and Eve and how the god of Genesis would respond to Gilgamesh and Enkidu. In your character analysis, support your claims with quotations from the course materials. Include in-text citations in MLA format (with page numbers) for all quotations.
Then draw some conclusions from your analysis. What do you find significant about the similarities and differences between deities? Between creations? Between the relationships between deities and creations?
Successful assignments will (1) use in-text citations (MLA format) to support claims with quotations from the texts
and (2) include a Works Cited page (MLA format).
Criteria on which you will be graded:
Your selection of passages to support your argument is thoughtful
Your analysis is specific and original
Your post speaks to the relationship between the divine creators and their creation, especially human beings
Your writing is clear and well-organized
