Today, Bella and I continued studying The Epic of Gilgamesh for our Hero's Journey unit. We reviewed how the first set of plot points demonstrate the stages of the Hero's Journey. We continued reading a summary of the epic poem, taking notes on the key plot points. As we read, we discussed character traits/flaws of Gilgamesh (the protagonist/hero) and some archetypal tropes we encountered (the mentor, the serpent villain, the Great Flood story).
