What are the vivid verbs, adjectives, and nouns in  ‘”The Elder’s Drum” that appeal to the 5 senses. And which of the 5 senses are awakened with each word choice.
“The Elder’s Drum” by Molly Chisaakay
The smoke rises from the sacrificial fire
The circle is getting bigger and many share hope
The elder begins to drum and circles with song
My love for the people in the circle exuberates
The many other times I have shared these rituals
Noticing the whiteness and the age of my grandfather’s hair
He seems frail and yet the song comes with such clarity
And my spirit rejoices in the song of my people
That we all have the dignity to be To determine the spirit
To be like the man who sings
And yet be proud of the heritage
Our grandfathers leave us the path
The song
The sacred song

Olim ad arenam populus Romanus venit ut ludos cum bestiis feris spectet. Ferocissimae omnium bestiarum erant leones propter fortitudines suos. Captivi et scelerati in arena morte damnati sunt. Inter captivos erat quidam fugitivus servus Androcles. Leones captivos appropinquabant ut eos necarent. Una e bestiis erat maior et ferocior quam altera. Hic leo Androcleti appropinquabat ut eum pugnaret. Cum leo puerum vidisset lente appropinqabat. Androcles agnoscebat. Leo caudam molliter et leviter concitabat. Puerum lingua lambit. Iam Androcles leonem recognovit. Omnes spectatores attoniti erant. Princeps ad se Androclem vocavit ut disceret cur leo eum pepercisset. Ibi Androcles mirabilem fabulam retulit:
“Cum ego eram servus in Africa, cotidie meus dominus me verberabat”. A meis amicis monebar, “Tibi necesse est refugere ne a domino verbereris.” Me celabam in desertis. Sed uno die ad cavernam progrediebar ut calorem solis evaderem.  Leo quoque cavernam intravit et me observavit. Molliter et leviter appropinquavit atque pedem mihi ostendit. Ego spinam conspexi, quae in eius pede haerebat. “O ferox leo, tuam pedem prode ut spinam extraham.” Sensi leonem mihi esse gratissimum. tres annos in caverna eadem vivebamus et eundem cibum edebamus. Denique a militibus captus, Romam missus sum a domino ut in arena pugnarem.” fabula audita, Androcles et leo a principe liberati sunt.

Support each part of your post with MLA cited examples/quotes from each text.

This class offers periodic skill-building activities to help refresh or strengthen skills needed for success in English 201. One of these skills involves the ability to understand and identify basic literary elements in a text, analyze their significance, and write about them meaningfully and accurately in discussions, essays, and exams.
For this week’s activity, begin by opening and reviewing the resource entitled “Guidelines for Reading and Understanding Literature,” linked in week 1. Once you’ve read through the resource, go to “Step III: What Literary Techniques are Used in this Work?” and choose any
one
of the major elements to discuss (choose from plot, character, setting, point-of-view, images and symbols, or style and language), then answer at least four of the bullet-points under your chosen element. (For example, if you choose “Character,” you’d go down to #2, Character, and here you’d answer any four of the six bullet points underneath that element). Your answers should apply to this week’s assigned reading,
Gilgamesh
.
Your completed response should be at least 250-300 words in length and fully address all content requirements. Research is not called for in this activity, but
if outside sources are used, they must be documented correctly in MLA format (quotations, in-text citations, and works cited entries).
What I have so far
The epic of Gilgamesh was very interesting and from my point of view very straight forward, the literary technique I choose was plot since even through it seems to have a lot of twists. It would be considered a coming of age in today’s entertainment industry.
What are the actions or events of the narrative and how are they presented? Are there major and minor events in the story? How are they related?
The events of the story were Gilgamesh needed a humanity check. His actions towards his people and kingdom were taken too far. The power he possessed over took him and he lost sight of what was really important.  The God’s tried to balance out Gilgamesh by sending a companion (Enkidu) that is the exact opposite of him but equally powerful. Gilgamesh built a bond with Enkidu through battle and realized that even he needed help and temporarily embraced sanity check.
