Read the excerpt from holes.

"you are to dig one hole each day, including saturdays and sundays. each hole must be five feet deep, and five feet across in every direction. your shovel is your measuring stick. breakfast is served at 4: 30."

stanley must have looked surprised, because mr. sir went on to explain that they started early to avoid the hottest part of the day. "no one is going to baby sit you," he added. "the longer it takes you to dig, the longer you will be out in the sun. if you dig up anything interesting, you are to report it to me or any other counselor. when you finish, the rest of the day is yours."

what does this dialogue tell you about mr. sir? hurr

a) that he can be strict
b) that he can be funny
c) that he can be cruel
d) that he can be calm

A.

Explanation:

Even though he does seem to care for his workers, he's very strict about the time of day they eat and how big the holes have to be. (I've seen this movie AND read the book so you can trust my answers)

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !
