Respond to the following questions in correlation with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
1. Why does the author choose to start at this specific point?

2. Do we need to know anything about the characters or conflicts prior to these events? Are you left with more questions than answers because of the structure of the beginning of the story?

3. What are some craft choices that are apparent from the beginning? (i. e. What is apparent about the author's style in writing? Is it to the point? Is there a lot of detail? Is there a good bit of dialogue? Do you have to infer a lot?)

4. Describe the main character(s) (some books have multiple - if yours has multiple, choose 1). Then, identify a specific characteristic of this character that you predict will attribute to his/her influence on others within the story.

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "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". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !
