Are you talking about New Amsterdam surrendering to the British with no conflict and the name being changed to New York?

The reason for that is that the Dutch were merchants. They cared about making money and war would have disturbed their businesses. The Dutch merchants that ran new Amsterdam didn't speak for the Dutch government but the made the decision never the less.

Additionally, Britain was pretty strong and they probably would have lost anyway.

After Perseus kills Medusa, what “hated truth” does he acknowledge about himself? Cite textual evidence to support your answer.
soldi70 [24.7K]

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.
