Answer:

Explanation:

   This poem is about the death of Medusa from Perseus' point of view. It starts off with Medusa sleeping, and Perseus can see her in the mirrored part of his shield. He cuts her head off with his sword, and the shield doesn't show her reflection anymore. Then Perseus takes the head and leaves the cave. As Perseus leaves, he gets angry and feels the need to destroy or kill things. Whenever Perseus passes by someone, he shows them the head and turns them to stone, no matter who they are.

           One example of a literary device in the poem is "serpents torpidly astir". This is an oxymoron because torpidly and astir contradict each other. This quote also adds imagery to the poem, by describing how the snakes move. Another example is "great gelid", which is an alliteration. The tone of the poem starts out calm, as it describes Medusa sleeping, then turns angrier after Perseus cuts Medusa's head off.

A child who considers a person's intentions, as well as the consequences of a given action, is in Piaget's ___ morality stageaut
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The answer is Piaget's autonomous morality stage.

Explanation:

The influential psychologist Jean Piaget believed that children developed their morality in stages. The first was the heteronomous morality stage (between 5 and 9 years) where morality is imposed from the outside largely by authority figures like parents and teachers. The autonomous morality stage begins at around age 9 or 10 when children begin to recognize there is no absolute right or wrong. Piaget observed that children at this stage tend to base moral judgments on the intention of the actor rather than the consequences of the actions . They also think of hypothetical circumstances that might affect whether a rule should be applied or not. At this age the peer group of the child widens and they learn more about the morality of others and their own ideas begin to change.
