Why do enduring stories survive over time?
In Humanities, we have just finished our unit about the Epic of Gilgamesh, and have just started reading "The Story of My Life," by Helen Keller.
These two stories are extremely different, but do have some similarities. For example, both stories are stories of endurance. Early on in "The Story of My Life," we learn how desperate Helen Keller really was. The Epic of Gilgamesh is also an endurance story because throughout the book, Gilgamesh is fighting to find immortality. I believe that s tories of endurance last over time because they are stories that make us realize how important our life is. For example, in "The Story of My Life," I noticed how Ms. Helen Keller's life must have been so scary. She was both blind and deaf, and also mute. We take for granted that we have the ability to see how beautiful our world is, hearing the noises that fill our world, and being able to share these expressions with others. Eventually, with the help of Ms. Sullivan, Ms. Keller learned to speak. This is a miracle and it serves as an inspiration to us all.
