Honors English II. Ancient Myths

Write a comment where you tell your opinion about the myths we have been exploring in class. Here are some questions to get you started. Also, check out this link about the two stories. 

Do you believe the epic of Gilgamesh really took place? Do you believe in the events in Genesis? 

What have you learned that is new since the beginning of the semester? 

Where do we need to review? 

This reflection will count as a completion grade; opinions are welcome as long as they are politely defended.
