For today, we have gone through the "WHAT," "HOW," and "WHY" with HISTORICAL CONTEXT. You should have historical evidence... literary evidence... and some analytic conclusions.
1. We will now add in our next literary device in order to analyze the text of Gilgamesh.
ARCHETYPE: A repeated pattern found in art, literature, history, politics.
Literature: A product of humanity. . . written about what it means to be human.
2. Read and take notes over the following link: Jung and Archetypes
3. Now that your interest is peaked, review the following lists of archetypes:
Archetype list #1
*If you are needing a more general introduction and clarity on archetypes and/or Jung:
Jung- Wikipedia
Archetype- Wikipedia
(notice.. a turn to Wikipedia for generalized information)

2. Read and take notes over the following link: Jung and Archetypes
- This is an author's personal website where he explains his research topics. This is a good introduction to Jung, the brilliant mind credited for the study of archetypes.
- There is a list of archetype examples.. you do not need to write each one down, but the more archetypes you are familiar with, the more you will have to apply to multiple texts.
- As you take notes, remember your goal is to understand this technique, which is developed from the field of psychology. Think about what will help you read a text, and understand a text, with more depth. Look to the information as advice. . . a how-to manual.
- Archetypes are incredibly helpful when studying literature because they capture the unconscious structure of society as it responds to. . . reflects its culture.
- As you are thinking about archetypes, consider the working definition of literature that we are using in this class. How do they interact? Complement each other?

Monday, December 3rd.
For today, using the aspects of culture as our jumping off point for applying HISTORICAL CONTEXT to the text of Gilgamesh.
You have started to examine the influence of the cultural aspects of ancient Mesopotamia upon Gilgamesh.
We have determined the "HOW" (how the text does what it does) and the "WHAT" (what specific evidence in the plot of the work demonstrates the application of literary device) to begin literary analysis.
Today, we will be working on the "WHY?" Things to consider:
Aspect of culture: Beliefs
Historical context: Ancient Mesopotamia practice of polytheism
Gilgamesh: Often see gods as adversary to each other, or human counterparts.
WHY? Results? Significance? Contribution to meaning? Polytheism is presented more as competitive with humanity versus attentive to the need of the practitioners.
In class:
As a group, start discussing your "hows" and "whats"... Talk though specific findings in both history AND text. Reference specific text in your discussion of Gilgamesh. With your discussion, start addressing the "WHY"... Add these conclusions or thoughts into your notes.

Today, we will be working on the "WHY?" Things to consider:
- What is the impact of these findings on the meaning of the text?
- What is the significance of this inclusion in the text?
- Why do you think that this was included?
- What do we learn from its inclusion?
