For my English course I have to come up with a project based off of -you guessed it- The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Now, the project can be anything. Seriously. Anything. However, I lack the creative gene and I would lovelovelove some help from the incredibly talented people of YWS.

Any ideas you'd be willing to throw around?
One example the teacher gave from a past class was phenomenal - someone had re-written the book but as a children's story (along with amazing illustrations) and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. Maybe if the book was written but set in a modern era? I don't know. Let me know what you think and please feel free to throw some ideas around!

dude. We totally just did this in History :D
We made a comic book, but it was sort of meh.
Ooh! You should write a poem based off of it. That would be funfunfun, no?

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
