Although the topic says compare and contrast it is not that simple. The paper must be 10 pages, the introduction should be about 1 page,

the body should be about 6 to 7 pages and the conclusion should be about 2 pages. For this final research paper we must compare and

contrast The Epic of Gilgamesh & The Odyssey with Oedipus the King (All 3 stories are from the book “The Norton Anthology World

Literature” Volume A. More importantly my professor would like us to get into the themes and compare and contrast more the themes and how

Gilgamesh and Odysseus themes are similar or different from Oedipus. The 3 themes I chose for my paper are the journey, tragic hero, &

death (not being able to escape death).My professor very specifially wants the introduction to include “what is the element of a journey”

“what is the element of a hero” she would love for the introduction to have a question and very very good thesis statement. After that the

body should be about 2 pages per theme and my professor said we must have quotes and show direct connection from the stories to prove our

point. Don’t forget you need to compare and contrast the epic of gilgamesh and the odyssey with oedipus (the 2 stories with oedipus). The

conclusion should answer the question and must be about 2 pages. The details may seem kind of complicated but please contact me to ensure

you understand the directions and will write the perfect paper.
