Look Now

Look Now: Is this a comic? Why? Why not? 

This is a part of a comic ( picture of forever alone), but it is no exaclty a comic. A comic has to have a sequence of drawings and this is just one forever alone. This drawing could be, but in a comic, but for this you need a story, and this pic does not.

The Fatal Eye

BY: DANIELA CEPEDA

Outer-Self to Wold Connections

In this part of the tablets of Gilgamesh, I made some questions. Gilgamesh lives in grief after Endiku´s death. 
" I thrive for the death of Endiku the companion, he who has fought with lions and with wolves", pg 56. 
He stays with the body until worms start eating it up. Then he leaves, because he fears that his fate will be the same as his companions. The king tries to find the answer: how to escape death. 
""Must I die too? Must Gilgamesh be like that?", pg 56. 
He goes search for the only person who has ever done this, Utnapishtim. He travels a long journey, always thinking about Endiku. 

At this point, I thought: Why does Gilgamesh do this journey, caused by the loss of his friend, escaping death? 
If death is the taker of his companion, why does he seek to escape it so much? 
If he really wanted to see his brother, why not die and be closer to him in another world?

If Gilgamesh really loved his companion as much as he said he did, why live a life without him, in grief?

I think that Gilgamesh didn't love Endiku, he liked the idea of liking someone more than he loved himself. 

Gilgamesh Cuest

August 31

Topic: Of him who knew 

Aim: Why does Gilgamesh go on a quest? What is his question? 

Read Now: What does this blogger do well? What could she/he improve? 

I think that Majo did a good job in her blog. She gave two examples on what connections she made towards Gilgamesh, and one personal connection. She could explain more about it. 

AIM: Gilgamesh goes on a quest to find the demon Huwawa, guardian of the forest. His question is what happens to ys when we die. He believed that there is an underworld, that is cold and depressing. 

VOCAB: Woe: greif

The Questions: How are they related to Glgamesh:

LADY D

SWANDAREL


1 st Charcater: Lady D

Lady D lived in England, London, during the 17th Century. She never met her parents, so she grew up alone. 

D was like a ghost, almost never leaving trace of her presence anywhere, though when she did, people were distroughted by her beauty. 

She had long, black, wavy hair, that was as soft as the finest silk. Her eyes were purple and glimered as the stars. 

Lady D would take one glimpse at you, and she would be able to read your mind, go to the darkest parts of your brain and see what your fears were, as well as what you loved. In a second, she would know you more than what you knew yourself. Though, she did have a foil, and it was that she spoke really fast. When she started to talk, you could not process what she had just said, though she could talk to your mind instead. When she stared at you, you could instantly hear her talking yo you. 

Lady D could be a nightmare for most, but she has a weakness, a tragic flaw. It was fried chicken! 

2nd Character: Swandarel

Swandarel lived in London, England, during the 18 th century. She was a 17 th year old girl, from a wealthy family. She had long wavy like blond hare, and blue eyes.
Swandarel was the oldest of 3 brothers, and was like a mother to them (their parents where always working or traveling). 

She wasn't very pretty, though she was very tall, and had a way of talking that made people hold on to every sylable  of her words, and rethink each one of them in order to understand. In their mind, it was like a melody. 

Swandarel was strong and determined, though in her looks, she had a certain stuborness that made people think she was weak, vulnerble. 

One day, they travelled to the zoo for the first time, and when she saw the pinguins, Swandarel got the flu inmediately and red spots appeared all over her body.

Her brothers took care of her, though she could barely move. The boys had to feed her, find her some medicine,  and take care of her.

During the night, she heard a wierd sound that echoed through the hall. She was scared not of what was outside, but of not being able to face it and protect her siblings. One of them came into the room and she looked at him, intensely. In that instant, they could understad each other perfectly. In one second, he realized what was wrong, and went to see what it was; he realized it was the family dog, but he, as well as her, were astounded about their discovery: She had telepathy.
