After Perseus kills Medusa, what “hated truth” does he acknowledge about himself? Cite textual evidence to support your answer.

Her sleeping head with its great gelid mass serpents torpidly astir burned into the mirroring shield a scathing image dire as hated truth the accepts at last and fester on. I struck. The shield flashed bare. Yet even as I lifted up the head and started from the place of gazing silences and terrored stone, I thirsted to destroy. None could have passed me them no garland-bearing girl, no priest or staring boy-and lived. PLEASE HELP ME!!! ;-;

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.

Are the words of thomas paine enough to keep you at valley forge
tresset_1 [31]

Thomas Paine doesn’t give advice to people from outside. In this words, he is just one man with all the others. He manages to involve all ranks in a common goal and with that he forces everyone to be one with the cause. the words are clear and simple, not only full of common sense but also reach the heart making each man feel responsible for their destiny and that of others. Being in those ranks and listening to this speech must have been enormously motivating. Since it touches many points of doubt and conflict for the men who are there, such as the strategies of the enemy, the dangers of conciliation and the profile of the opponent, it helps everyone to generate a common idea of the enormous responsibility they share.
