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!

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?

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
