Gilgamesh Tablets VIII, IX, X

What happened to me reading this part of the book was pretty funny because I made a straight connection to a book I read when I was in seventh grade. The book is called "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll. 

The exact part that I made a connection to this book in was in page 51 (tablet 9) when Gilgamesh explains and describes every league he traveled. He described the way he felt physically and emotionally and also the physical description of the place where he was at that specific moment. In "Through the Looking Glass" Alice is in Wonderland and she meets the Red Queen and she challenges  Alice to move through the eight different "regions" of Wonderland. Taking into consideration that Wonderland is marked like a giant chessboard (which has eight rows). Each chapter is about one of the squares that Alice passes through and in each one she explains and describes how she felt physically and emotionally as well as the place and the events themselves. 

Obviously the length of the writing is completely different because in "Gilgamesh" it's two lines and in "Through the Looking Glass" it is at least 30 pages. But either way the way that Gilgamesh described the situation was very similar to the way Alice described her situation in Wonderland.
