1. The wild man is dead. 2. After an adventurous life of being raised by wolves, finding true love, wrestling with a king to defend the honor of a new bride, the wild man succumbed to a fateful dream and breathed his last. 3. The King, party boy that he was, seemed changed in that he no longer sought out hedonistic pleasures, but began a quest that we will all one day take, the quest for purpose and meaning, for longevity and legacy. 4. Thus, Gilgamesh became what we might call a dynamic character. 5. Let’s give the king props for having a Greek moment of recognition and becoming a better man. 6.The lamentation started by Gilgamesh, a demi-God in his own right, walked through a mountain. 7. Then, due to a Godly denial of his request for eternal life, Gilgamesh traveled to the flood survivor to have a one on one chat. 8. Learning of what became of the human race, Gilgamesh moved on after obtaining some important information about a flower. 9. Being strong and determined, Gilgamesh managed to locate the flower of eternal youth, but lost it to a sea serpent. 10. Finally, the King gave up, returned home, lived out his life, and died.
Did U Know
Sumerians believe afterlife to have a dark surrounding and no return. You will find ones self to aimlessly wander.
Greeks on the other hand, strongly believed in fulfilling their fate. No matter how mighty a person or god, what is said as your fate will come true. The underworld is the dark burning deep under the earth.

In an incredible celebration on the streets of Hampton Roads, star reporter (fill in name here) gathers his/her fan base to share the winning of the Pulitzer Prize for this year’s Best in Essay Writing Category. The topic was daring, and the writing followed all the proper formatting of good essay writing.
Said one stunned fan, who managed to squeeze through the huge midnight crowd to catch a glimpse of the newest member of the Pulitzer winners. “I was so excited to be able to be in the same area as him/her. I mean who else could so eloquently support body paragraphs with literary referencing, offering opinion which is never unverified, but also backed up by the contents of the literature (10 points)”
Another fan – who cathartically choked up on tears during the interview – was impressed with the outstanding hook that not only attracted the reader to delve into the writing, but also managed to maintain a delicate balance of transitions (10 points).
A third bystander, one who camped out on the grounds immediately upon hearing that the famed writer may make a public appearance, respectfully disagreed with the two other fans. “I can appreciate these items, but the genius is in the conclusion, which is not only broad and didactic, but analyzes as well as summarizes. It shows – in one paragraph, mind you – the significance of all the paragraphs that come before it (10 points). Who could not just want to live life just a little bit stronger after reading such beautiful words?”

WWCC Sports Round UP
Sweden progressed to the gold medal game after winning the 1v2 Page Play-off.
After blanking the first end, Sweden opened the scoring with a hit to score two points in the second end. The teams then swapped singles all the way to the seventh end. In the eighth end, with Sweden leading by 4-3, Muirhead drew nicely onto the button with her second stone and, in trying to winkle it out, Sweden's fourth player Maria Prytz wrecked on a front guard, giving Scotland a steal of two and
the lead for the first time in the game, at 5-4.
Sweden blanked the ninth end to retain last stone advantage in the tenth. The Scots seemed to have that end under control until Muirhead had a pick-up with her first stone, which gave Sweden a chance.
Even at that, Muirhead played a near-perfect freeze with her last, but Prytz was able to tap it out, as Sweden scored three for their win.
After the game Swedish skip and lead player Margaretha Sigfridsson, said, "that was a fantastic game and it feels so good to win. It was only the eighth end that was not so good from our side. It was so
close, we touched so many guards in that end and Eve got to steal two. But we thought we still had a good chance to win the game and we thought it was so our game."
