modernist
world war 1 had the greatest influence on writers of the modernist literary movement. The term must be understood n its philosophical context. In this context, modernism is everything new, unexplored, untouched and never tried before. Matisse, Ellison, and others artists represent the movement under their own specialty.
musical and literary talent
the Harlem Renaissance was a rebirth of the musical and literary talent of the African American community. Named after the anthology of Alain Locke "The Negro Movement" of 1925, the Harlem Renaissance is a cultural and social movement that aimed to rediscover black culture and give voice to a society that was underlined.
Ralph Ellison
Both Langston Hughes and Ralph Ellison wrote about the inequality of African Americans during the modernist literary period. The modernist movement had a very self-conscious view of the society, and so the inequality was perceived as something to fix and denounce like many writers did in their work, in order to have an impact over the culture.
less traditional
in the 1960s poetry became less traditional. All the rules about poetry were erased at the beginning of a movement that rejected everything that existed before, in response to the fast change of a new society on the rise and as a wake-up call towards a society that had produced the devastation of the world war II.
they rejected the literary
The beat generation rejected the literary because they thought that literacy was part of a society that was no more existing. The beat generation wanted to express itself in a free and unconventional way, following their own intuition and creativity, instead of a set of rules imposed by previous and often perceived as old canonic standards.
Answer:
1.After unsuccessful courting and consecutive denial by Danae, Polydectes thought that Perseus is the main obstacle for their marriage. The king therefore sent Perseus on a quest to bring the head of Medusa, thinking it would be his doom.
2.Later Perseus gave the Gorgon's head to Athena, who placed it on her shield, and gave his other accoutrements to Hermes. He accompanied his mother back to her native Argos, where he accidentally struck her father, Acrisius, dead when throwing the discus, thus fulfilling the prophecy that he would kill his grandfather.
3.Because the gaze of Medusa turned all who looked at her to stone, Perseus guided himself by her reflection in a shield given him by Athena and beheaded Medusa as she slept. He then returned to Seriphus and rescued his mother by turning Polydectes and his supporters to stone at the sight of Medusa's head.
4.From the Hesperides he received a knapsack (kibisis) to safely contain Medusa's head. Zeus gave him an adamantine sword (a Harpe) and Hades' helm of darkness to hide. Hermes lent Perseus winged sandals to fly, and Athena gave him a polished shield. Perseus then proceeded to the Gorgons' cave.
