An Analysis of Literature Pieces from the Antiquity

My time period is Antiquity (Mesopotamia) and the two pieces of literature is (Epic of Gilgamesh and Enuma Elish).
The primary goal of this assignment is to prove that two pieces of literature are both good examples or good representations of a specific time period because they both use important literary devices, writing styles, themes, or other written elements that match that time period.
For example, a student writing this essay might argue that two different short stories from the 1940s are both great examples of the Modernist Movement because they both feature first-person narrators, the stream-of-consciousness writing style, and address the negative feelings people had about the war.
Select two works of literature inside your chosen time period. Note: Both works must come from our textbook , and if you choose something we did not read in class, I will ask you to submit reading notes to prove that you did read the other story. For example:
If you choose the Epic of Gilgamesh, you will also need to read Enuma Elish
Write a 900-1100 word research-based analysis essay including the following:
Well-developed introduction paragraph with complete thesis statement.
Sample thesis statement: Although Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" and H. P. Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space" were written more than 50 years apart, both of these stories are excellent examples of the American Gothic Movement because they both focus on the dark side of human emotions, feature a sense of helplessness, and include vivid descriptions of violent deaths.
Brief summary of your chosen time period or literary movement.
This should be a very short section, one to two paragraphs maximum (recommended 200 words or fewer).
Use this paragraph as a place to provide necessary background information on your chosen period or literary movement. Please focus on what was going with literature at the time; do not just give a Wikipedia-like info dump. Remember that this is a literature paper, not a history paper!
Analysis of your two chosen stories/poems to prove that they are good representatives of their time period/movement.
This should be the longest section of the paper (recommended 700 words or more).
Note: You are not comparing and contrasting the two stories/poems against each other here. The goal of this section is not just to find similarities and differences between the two pieces of literature. Instead, the goal of this section is to show how both pieces of literature match the time period/movement they came from and help to express the values, beliefs, and writing styles that were popular during that time. Finding similarities between the stories or poems can help prove they are both good examples of the time period/movement, but the goal of the paper is not just to compare the two stories/poems to each other.
Some possible topics to discuss: Similar literary devices (repetition, personification, etc.) used in both stories that match their culture/time period, similar themes or major ideas in the stories that help express their culture’s views, similar plot structures or character archetypes that show what their cultures/time periods valued in people, similar religious concepts, similar writing styles that helped express the culture/time period, etc.
A solid conclusion paragraph that recaps on each main point from the body and then provides closure to the essay overall by discussing in a few sentences how literature is a record of the culture, beliefs, and values people had both in the past and present.
Your essay must use a total of five sources. Two of your sources will be the pieces of literature you are analyzing. The other three sources must come from the library database. No websites except .edu websites will be allowed as sources, unless you get specific permission from the professor.
