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?
Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris?
nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

"For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion."
— Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
