The bird struggled all the more frantically as
he approached, looking at him with hate in its
yellow eyes, and when he took hold of it to free
it, hissed at him, pecked him, and thrashed
dangerously with its wings which were
powerful enough to break his arm. nevertheless
he managed to release it from the thorns, and
carrying it tightly with one arm, holding the
snaky head well away with the other hand (for
he did not wish his eyes pecked out), he took it
to the verge of the canal and dropped it in.
the swan instantly assumed great dignity and
sailed out to the middle of the water, where it put
itself to rights with much dabbling and preening,
smoothing its feathers with little showers of drops.
mr. peters waited to make sure that it was all right
and had suffered no damage in its struggles.

what is the swan's external conflict? use evidence from the text to support your answer

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 !
