Gilgamesh is a 2/3 god and 1/3 human while Endiku is completely human. Gilgamesh’s qualities are his physical power, good looks, and his intelligence while Endiku is physically strong, not as good looking as Gilgamesh, but he is very smart.

In the book, “Night” Elie Wiesel tells his story about a young boy that experiences loss, torture, abuse, and dehumanization. Dehumanization is when an individual is lost of the very human qualities that make them who they are, making them inhuman. These unfortunate events will alter their character and morality. This can be to blame for the animal-like treatment they receive. They turn out to be undeveloped people, with barbaric, animal characteristics that are needed for survival under these conditions. A way they could dehumanize prisoners is shaving their hair. Hair makes you who you are and in some cases, it is what makes the person feel themselves. It would hurt women more than men because women are known

In the essay “Trees Are Overrated in Relation to Controlling Climate Change,” the author argues that planting trees is not an effective way to control climate change and may actually contribute to it. The author points out that nearly two-million trees are destroyed every day at the hands of deforestation, which releases Co2 into the atmosphere.
