Negative Attitude Yet Positive Result

"The dream you dreamed tonight is fortunate" (22 & 23)

In this part of the book,  Gilgamesh seems a little worried about his dreams and thinks they all mean something bad is going to happen when both of them, Gilgamesh and Enkidu, meet with Huwawa. Enkidu gives an interpretation of each and tells him that every dream is fortunate. I find a connection here,because most of the time I get nervous about things and think they're all going to turn out bad but my best friend is always there to tell me to look at the bright side and that I'm going to be fine.

"and Enkidu found him and said: "Two people, companions, 

they can prevail against the terror."" (26) 

"Enkidu said: "You are the strongest of all"" (27)

Later on, when Gilgamesh and Enkidu arrive to the Cedar Forest, Gilgamesh got scared again. Enkidu reminds him he's the strongest of all and that two people can prevail together against terror. This reminds of the day I had to play the guitar alone in front of a group of parents. I was really afraid to mess up and I also felt kind of sad because the other people that had to play with me didn't come. My music teacher came to me and said "You don't have to worry. You are really good, and if being there alone on stage is what bugs you then I can play with you too."

At the end, they do accomplish their mission. Gilgamesh builds the cedar gate for the city of Uruk and together as a team, they also kill Huwawa. My guitar performance went well, not only did I not mess up but I even made my audience stand up, cheer, sing and clap.
