Friendship is one of the most important subjects in life. It is something that everyone must have, at least one. There is nothing better than having a person who you can trust to share your feelings with, to talk to, to protect or to be protected, other than your family. That is the main idea of Gilgamesh, written by Herbert Mason, the main character who has surpassed many conflicts to trying to save his friend from death itself. They are two different people, coming from two completely different backgrounds. Gilgamesh is king of a kingdom; and Enkidu is the same as Tarzan, king of the jungle and animals. As many men, they became friends after a fight from jealously. “Gilgamesh listened to his people’s shouts of praise for someone other than himself and lunged at Enkidu” (Mason P, 23). What a classic way, it is a good way to know each other from a short time. Through fighting, two people can know how strong, fast, and brave the other are to decide if that person is qualified to be a friend. I was also using violence to pick out friend. It help me understand them more, also letting me know where should I put them in the friendship zone. When a person has found a friend it is similar to a pirate who has digged up a treasure. It is very important to have a friend, who will encourage and be there for each other. A great example is when Gilgamesh encourage Enkidu on taken down Humbaba (Mason P. 27) and when Enkidu protect Gilgamesh when Humbaba attack them (Mason P. 40). That is what friends are for, to help out the other. A true friend is the one who knows you best and brings what's best for you. But every party must have an end. A true friend is also the one who is willing to sacrifice for the other. The same as Enkidu sacrifice his life for the loss of Humbaba, a servant of gods, and the Bull of Heaven, sent by Ishtar to punish Gilgamesh for insulting her. Gilgamesh denied Ishtar's proposals and call her "an old fat whore" (Maso
