The basic idea of the essay is to focus on researching one of our primary texts (I chose The Epic of Gilgamesh). Instead of giving your own opinions of the work, however, you are finding books and articles in scholarly journals that discuss the work, and you are summarizing those secondary works with clear paraphrase, quotation, and in-text citations, followed by a Works Cited page.I attached the checklistBasically, the assignment is to summarize the critical sources that analyzed the story, not summarizing the story itself. I also included the minimum 8 sources that you had found before.This is the draft so you can complete the introduction and at least summary of 3 articles if you cannot finish by the deadline. Soon, I will need the final draft with minimum of 8 sources summarized.The Epic of Gilgamesh Working BibliographyAbusch, Tzvi. “The development and meaning of the Epic of Gilgamesh: an interpretive essay.” Journal of the American Oriental Society (2001): 614-622.Abusch, Tzvi. “Ishtar’s Proposal and Gilgamesh’s Refusal: An Interpretation of ‘The Gilgamesh Epic’, Tablet 6, Lines 1-79.” History of Religions, vol. 26, no. 2, 1986, pp. 143–187.
