I predict that the goddest of love will keep on trying to get gilgamesh to marry her.

Summary:The goddest of love got really mad because Gilgamesh said no to marry her.So she ran all the way to heaven and cried while she dropped to her knees in front of her dad,gods of all gods.The god of all gods demanded her dad yo unlease the bull of heaven to kill Gilgamesh.Her father asked why she wanted to kill the man.She said that he insulted her.Her dad asked what he said.The god of love said that he said all the other husbans i had were all dum for marrying me.Her dad said that you should not unlease the bull of heaven to attack him for telling the truth.The god of love said, then i will let loose all the dead spirits of the underworld.So her dad let her unlease the bull of heaven instead of releasing the dead spirits.So the god of love let the bull of heaven loose in Gilgameshes town.The bull destroyed half the town .Then finnaly the wild man and Gilgamesh both jumped on the bull,and Gilgamesh staved the bull right in the neck.At first the bull stumbled then it fell to the ground dead.The wild man ripped off one of the bulls legs and pointed it into the sky at the goddest of love.Then the father of the goddest of love got mad and said someone must pay for killing the bull of heaven.The goddest of love told her dad that Gilgamesh killed Hawuwa too.And the wild man cut the tallest tree in the forest.Then the dad of the goddest of love was furious.Then when the wild man went to sleep that day he had a dream that either he or Gilgamesh was going to die.Then the wild man woke up and started running and shouting tords Gilgamesh but the only thing he shouted for some strange reason was the wild man must die!
I predict that either the wild man or Gilgamesh will die soon in the story.

Summary:When Gilgamesh got to the gate, that was guarded by scorpions,
he said that their heads were helmeted with smooth black scales.He told the scorpions that he wanted to pass to go see utnapishtim. They said go ahead, it's your life your risking.So he passed the gate.Then he saw darkness,and he know what it was.It was the 12 leagues of darkness. It took about 7 days to get all the way through the 12 leagues of darkness.Then he finally saw a light as small a a thumb tick,and started running tords it.And finally he was in daylight again.Then he saw the ferryman, who was the only man who got to go where utnapishtim was. So Gilgamesh demanded the ferryman to take him to him.The ferryman asked why.Gilgamesh told him ,to know the secret of immortality.The ferryman told him that he is not going to tell you.But anyways the ferryman took him to him.And exactly what the ferryman said happened.But utnapishtim told him that there was a plant that would make a hundred old men young again.So Gilgamesh went and got the plant that utnapishtim told him about.
I think that Gilgamesh will share the plant that he got with his people.

I can not predict anything because I have read the whole book.
McCughrean,Geraldine.Gilgamesh the Hero.David Parkins,Uruk, 2002.
The author of my book is Geraldine McCaughrean.The title of my book is called Gilgamesh the Hero.Where my book takes place is when the United States had kings and queens.My main character's name is Gilgamesh.
The author's description of the civilization in the book is when there was kings.Another description of the author is when we had queens and princesses.The next description of the author is when we had princes.Another description is when people had to write messages on stone tablets.The last description is when the world had gods,goddesses,and immortals.
An action of my character is when he killed the bull of heaven.Another action is when he cut down the tallest and thickest tree in the Cedar Forest.The first action,when he killed the bull of heaven,is probably not believable.
But the second action,when he cut down the tree,is very very believable.
In conclusion, my opinion about the book is that it is very exciting and adventurous.It is exciting because he had to travel to get a plant of life!It is adventurous because he went to look for the secret of immortality.I liked this book becauseit is one of the few books that did not make me fall asleep.
