In what ways does Achilles’ relationship to Patroklos in the Iliad echo the relationship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu in The Epic of Gilgamesh? 

Achilles and Patroklos have a strong friendship and are companions in battles, as well as Gilgamesh and Enkidu. In addition, Achilles and Patroklos have their friendship interrupted by Patroklos' death, just as Gilgamesh and Enkidu have their friendship destroyed by Enkidu's death.

Explanation:

In "Iliad", we can see the building of a strong friendship between Achilles and Patrokos who establish themselves as true companions, loyal and loyal to each other. This friendship is so strong that it is admired all over the world, influencing other authors to compose their own stories, as it is possible to see in the Epic of Gilgamesh, with the friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, which is as strong as that of Achilles and Patrokos and it is only ended with death.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
