My Father King Offal Analysis
“It’s a boy,” said the midwife. My father, King Offal, always wanted a son. He felt as if he had to pass down all his glory, fame, wealth, and leadership because that is what his father did to him. When my father was a child, his family traveled to Uruk from India. His father gained great respect from leading wars, to creating the irrigation system. His loyalty and soul, made him King of Uruk. After my grandfather’s death, my father became King at fifteen. People say that my dad is the best leader Mesopotamia has ever had. Years later, they had a son, me. They named me Salomi. In our language, it means heart of a lion. Well, that must be one soft lion. He has big expectations for me and my kingdom. But, I feel as if I will never grow up to be like him.
