My mother had gone to the hospital for an appointment, to find out about a benign brain tumor a cat scan had revealed a month ago. she said she had spoken very good english, her best english, no mistakes. still, she said, the hospital did not apologize when they said they had lost the cat scan and she had come for nothing. she said they did not seem to have any sympathy when she told them she was anxious to know the exact diagnosis, since her husband and son had both died of brain tumors. she said they would not give her any more information until the next time and she would have to make another appointment for that. so she said she would not leave until the doctor called her daughter. she wouldn’t budge. and when the doctor finally called her daughter, me, who spoke in perfect english — lo and behold — we had assurances the cat scan would be found, promises that a conference call on monday would be held, and apologies for any suffering my mother had gone through for a most regrettable mistake.

gilgamesh is a hero by birth as the epic explains it. in the epic the birth is explained in the way which tells us that gilgamesh’s creation was made perfect by the contribution of various god and that signifies the goal in his life, which was to become a hero and save mankind. an example from the text says. "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull. two thirds god they made him; one third man they made him." a man born with superhuman qualities and partly god is destined to be a hero.

the heroic deeds carried by him later in his life also prove the heroic character of gilgamesh. for example hi battle with the ultimate beast humbaba is a proof of his bravery and characteristic heroism. gilgamesh was warned about the beast as the text says about humbaba “whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death". but with the superhuman strength gilgamesh did the job

answer: confusion.

the short story "lather and nothing else" by hernando tellez describes the inner struggles of a barber. he is a revolutionary, and while he is at his shop, he sees an important leader of the government come in. the barber has the choice of just shaving him, or killing him, and throughout the story, he struggles with having to choose one or the other one.

through this monologue, the mood that is created is one of confusion. the barber cannot bring himself to make a decision, as he is deeply conflicted between his loyalty to the revolution and his becoming a murderer. he is also unsure as to whether the assassination will in fact make any difference to the political situation.
