Gilgamesh reading (Alex, Sophia, Michelle, David L, Chris)

"So the two warriors went to the armor makers, who made them weapons, as they watched them work."

For this passage our group interpreted that the two warriors are preparing for an adventure because the two warriors went to the armor makers to make weapons for them. When our group read this, our basic instincts tells us that they are about to venture on a quest.

"Huwawa's mouth is the fire; his roar is the roar of the flood water; he breathes and there is death."

In this passage our group noticed that the author used metaphor to describe Huwawa's strength.
"His roar is the roar of the flood water", this metaphor is to stress that Huwawa is powerful and can't be easily handled.
