1) Briefly state what is going on in this text.
The speaker is talking to gods about why he should be blessed in the afterlife, and how he has been pure throughout his life.
2) What is the purpose of the text (for the speaker)?
He is trying to convince the judgeing gods to allow him to be accepted into afterlife.
3) What makes this text entertaining or confusing?
There are many "hailings" for the gods. This gives the poem a repetitive song like sound, it is actually a spell. The paragraphs in the beginning are long sentences which is strange because they obviously have full functionality of punctuation.
