Do women talk too much? Janet Holmes is an academic author who has publishing many articles about social guidelines. In this article Janet Holmes try to prove that women talk actually less than men and belief that women always talk more than men can be stereotype. Because People usually approve that women talk more than men in general. That’s special a female author wrote an essay which named is ‘women talk too much’. Even though she used some strong evidence for her article and her point, bur her claim is not effective enough.
In this article, Janet Holmes use claim inefficiently. In ‘women talk too much’ Holmes wrote that ‘despite the widespread belief that women talk more than man, most of the available evidence suggests just the opposite (300).’She believes that women actually talk less than men. She also showing many evidence to prove that ‘widespread’ is not true. Also in her conclusion, Holmes claim that ‘it all depends on different factors, including the social contract in which the talk is talking place, the kind of talk in involved and the relative social confidence of the speakers. Which is affected by such things as their social rules and their familiarity with the topic’ (304). She wants to say that women talk much then men only in some special and certain situation. But there is no certain answer for this argument who talk more women or men. This claim that Janet Holmes give in the end is controversial with the one that the author give in the beginning of her essay. Since readers who read this article will have a hard time to understand Janet Holmes position of the article, the main claim that Janet Holmes gave readers is not strong enough.
Janet Holmes also use some facts to improve her opinion. She use evidence to support that men talk more when men participate many participate many public activities. But women talk more when women in some private conversations. In general, the truths that Janet Holmes provide can be really supportive. For example, author wrote that ‘Miriam Meyerhoff asked a group of ten young people clear to the interviewees that the more speech they produced the better.’(302). Miriam Meyerhoff is a sociolinguist who comes from New Zealand .Janet Holmes use the expert truths to support the fact women were much more likely than men to be willing to talk to people at length .It is convincing .In this ‘women talk too much’. Holmes explained that ‘Evidence collected by American, British and New Zealand researchers shows that men dominate the talking time in committee meetings. Staff meetings, seminars and task- oriented decision- makings groups ’(301) This facts makes a lot of sense, because of this fact that people know it from their own life. Therefore. Janet Holmes’s evidence can be very useful.
But Janet Holmes also has a weak claim, but the best part of this is article is her ton, and she also did a well present since I did not read anything that extremely good or bad in her article. I believe that she use some natural tone to try to explain her claim. In Janet Holmes article ‘women talk too much’, she believes that ‘we have now reached the conclusion that the question ‘do women talk more than men?’ cannot be answered ‘yes or no’ the answer is rather’, ‘it all depends’. (304) I think that Holms use a very natural tone .People usually use very directly way to speak when they have a conversation with other peoples. However, instead of saying ‘no’ Janet Holmes says ‘it’s depends’. (304) Author choose tone in a general and effective way. People who has different opinion about man and women who talks more will getting easily to accept the statement that Holmes use. Thus, the tone that Holmes use is well, and it can help her audience to understand better.
For the conclusion. The author Janet Holmes’s article’ women talk too much’ is generally persuasive. Janet Holmes uses a very good tone, and she also provides some strong evidence for her article. I suggest author as a reader. Holmes focus on her claim, maybe she should talk these claim to readers directly. That will be more helpful for reader to understand this article, to make reader more agree with her point. Talk her claim directly is better.

THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH
–dates to 2100 BCE
–epic is a Greek word ( epikos, from epos “a word; a tale, story; promise, prophecy, proverb; poetry in heroic verse,” from PIE *wekw- “to speak” (see voice (n.)).
–also referred to as a “series” of clay tablets discovered in the 19th century.
–The standard version was discovered by Hormuzd Rassam in the library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh in 1853. It was written in a dialect of Akkadian This version was made by Sin-liqe-unninni sometime between 1300 and 1000 BC.
Old-Babylonian versions
This version of the epic, is called Surpassing all other kings. It remains incomplete with several tablets missing and big lacunae in those found. They are named after their current location or the place where they were found.
Pennsylvania tablet
Surpassing all other kings Tablet II, greatly correlates with tablets I-II of the Standard version. Gilgamesh tells his mother Ninsun about two dreams he had. His mother explains that they mean that a new companion will soon arrive at Uruk. In the meanwhile the wild Enkidu and the priestess (here called Shamkatum) are making love. She tames him in company of the shepherds by offering him bread and beer. Enkidu helps the shepherds by guarding the sheep. They travel to Uruk to confront Gilgamesh and stop his abuses. Enkidu and Gilgamesh battle but Gilgamesh breaks off the fight. Enkidu praises Gilgamesh.
Yale tablet
Surpassing all other kings Tablet III, partially matches tablets II-III of the Standard version. For reasons unknown (the tablet is partially broken) Enkidu is in a sad mood. In order to cheer him up Gilgamesh suggests going to the Pine Forest to cut down trees and kill Humbaba (known here as Huwawa). Enkidu protests, as he knows Huwawa and is aware of his power. Gilgamesh talks Enkidu into it with some words of encouragement, but Enkidu remains reluctant. They prepare, and call for the elders. The elders also protest, but after Gilgamesh talks to them, they agree to let him go. After Gilgamesh asks his god (Shamash) for protection and both equip, they leave with the elder’s blessing and counsel.
Cuneiform script is one of the earliest known systems of writing,[1] distinguished by its wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, made by means of a blunt reed for a stylus. The name cuneiform itself simply means “wedge shaped”, from the Latin cuneus “wedge” and forma “shape,” and came into English usage probably from Old French cunéiforme.
Emerging in Sumer in the late 4th millennium B.C.E. (the Uruk IV period), cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs. In the third millennium, the pictorial representations became simplified and more abstract as the number of characters in use grew smaller, from about 1,000 in the Early Bronze Age to about 400 in Late Bronze Age (Hittite cuneiform). The system consists of a combination of logo-phonetic, consonantal alphabetic and syllabic signs.
Content of the standard version tablets
(Based on Andrew George’s translation)
Tablet one

After questioning him and recognizing his reason for coming, they allow him to enter it, and he passes under the mountains along the Road of the Sun
In complete darkness he follows the road for 12 “double hours”, managing to complete the trip before the Sun catches up with him. He arrives at the Garden of the gods, a paradise full of jewel-laden trees.
Tablet ten
Gilgamesh meets Siduri, who assumes that he is a murderer or thief because he is dirty after his long journey. Gilgamesh tells her about the purpose of his journey. She attempts to convince him to go back, but sends him to Urshanabi the ferryman, who will help him cross the sea to Utnapishtim
Gilgamesh, gets mad for no reason and destroys the stone-giants that live with Urshanabi. He tells him his story, but when he asks for his help, Urshanabi tells him that the giants he killed before were the only creatures who can cross the Waters of Death. Now Gilgamesh has to cut down 120 trees and fashion them into sticks to push a boat.
When they reach the island where Utnapishtim lives, Gilgamesh recounts his story, asking him for his help. Utnapishtim yells at Gilgamesh and says that fighting is bad.
Tablet eleven
Gilgamesh observes that Utnapishtim seems no different from himself, and asks him how he obtained his immortality. Utnapishtim explains that the gods decided to send a great flood. To save Utnapishtim the god Ea gave him instructions to build a boat with pitch and bitumen.
His entire family went aboard together with his craftsmen and “all the animals of the field”. A violent storm then arose which was so big that even the gods got scared.
Ishtar and the other gods cried for destruction of humanity, and the other gods wept beside her. The storm lasted six days and nights, after which “all the human beings turned to clay”.
Utnapishtim weeps when he sees the destruction. His boat is stuck on a mountain, and he releases a dove, a swallow, and a raven. When the raven fails to return, he opens the ark and frees its animals. Utnapishtim offers a sacrifice to the gods, who smell the food and gather around. Ishtar vows that just as she will never forget the brilliant necklace that hangs around her neck, she will always remember this time.
When Enlil arrives, he is angry that there are survivors. Ishtar curses him for instigating the flood. Ea also castigates him for sending a disproportionate punishment.
Enlil blesses Utnapishtim and his wife, and rewards them with eternal life.
Utnapishtim challenges Gilgamesh to stay awake for six days and seven nights. Gilgamesh falls asleep, and Utnapishtim instructs his wife to bake a loaf of bread on each of the days he is asleep, so that he cannot deny his failure to keep awake.
Gilgamesh, who is seeking to overcome death, cannot even conquer sleep. After instructing Urshanabi the ferryman to wash Gilgamesh, and clothe him in royal robes, they depart for Uruk.
As they are leaving, Utnapishtim’s wife asks her husband to offer a parting gift. Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh that at the bottom of the sea there lives a boxthorn-like plant that will make him young again. Gilgamesh, by binding stones to his feet so he can walk on the bottom, manages to obtain the plant. Gilgamesh will test the plant on an old man when he returns to Uruk.
Unfortunately, when Gilgamesh stops to bathe, it is stolen by a serpent, who sheds its skin as it departs. Gilgamesh weeps at the futility of his efforts, because he has now lost all chance of immortality. He returns to Uruk, and sees what a great city it is. He dedicates the city to Urshanabi and becomes a good king.
