Evolution and Death
"That night, before falling asleep in my motel bed, I finalized my plan. It was a bad plan, I knew it, but couldn´t come up with nothing better."(pg 257) Th pupil had finally concreted a plan to save human kind from a terrible ending. He was going to consult it with Ishmael but as he got to the carnival he saw it had moved; worst than that Ishmael had died. He couldn´t believe it. "Are you telling me he´s... dead?"(pg 261) I could see, even feel his disbelief. I was much like him because I thought he would organize a plan with his pupil. The narrator picked up all of Ishmael's materials, even the poster he had in his office. I could see that a part of Ishmael was there with his pupil, he was present in him. The narrator would then discover that the poster had two sides. "WITH MAN GONE, WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR GORILLA? The message on the other side reads: WITH GORILLA GONE, WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR MEN?"(pg 262-263)

I seee you cite important pieces of the text, but where is the interpretation. For example, see the end of your entry. What does that mean?
You should have begun to read Gilgamesh. I like your description of how you read. For example, you mention that you could "feel" disbelief. Still, in the future I'd like to see even more interaction with the text.
