Leagues and Leagues Into the Wilderness

In tablets four and five of "Gilgamesh," Enkidu and Gilgamesh have a long trip into the wilderness to kill Huwawa, the demon. Gilgamesh has dreams where the only thing he dreams about is negative, but Enkidu told him his dreams are fortunate. "The dream you dreamed tonight is fortunate. The bull you dreamed of in your dream is not the demon enemy guardian of the forest... ."Gilgamesh asks Enkidu if everything that occurred in his dream is true, though, Enkidu thinks more positively because he knows Gilgamesh is powerful and very strong, still he's scared. Enkidu knows the wilderness so he leads Gilgamesh into it, into the Cedar Forest. In Cedar Forest they found the demon, Huwawa, and together they killed it.

Enkidu is supporting Gilgamesh by saying he's powerful and very strong, "You are the strongest of all." I relate this to a situation in my life, very personally. My best friend has always supported me, but when I seemed to be going down, scared, and sad feelings, she always tells me that I'm really strong and that no person can bring me down. It's like Gilgamesh wanting to destroy the demon, I was trying to destroy my sadness. We were both facing things, and both of us had a person with us making us feel powerful and strong. Finally, we both met our goals, killing the demon, and destroying the sadness.
