English

Answer:

Athena gives Perseus a mirror so he does not look directly at Medusa.

Explanation:

The story of Perseus and his quest to get Medusa's head is one act of courage and determination. This Greek mythology depicts numerous elements of Greek society like hospitality to guests, gods helping mortals in their quest, giving gifts, etc.

Perseus accepted the challenge of King Polydectes to get Medusa's head as a gift for his marriage with his mother, Danae. He did this not because he approved of their marriage, but he wanted to prove himself. And in his quest, he was helped by Hermes and his sister, Athena. the goddess of wisdom and war gave him a polished shield, which will act as a mirror to see Medusa. This was because looking at Medusa directly in the eye turns anyone into stone. This also shows how the Greeks valued intelligence, which is reflected in the acts of the gods. And this helped Perseus to be successful in his quest.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Alonso Quixano's obsession with chivalric romance stories turns into insanity when he gives up his idle days and takes on the persona of a knight-errant named Don Quixote. Armed with shabby armor and a homemade helmet, he and his elderly horse, Rocinante, set off for adventure in the Spanish countryside. He dedicates his career as a knight to a local woman he refers to as Dulcinea del Toboso, despite the fact that he has never spoken to her.

Genrish500 [490]

<u>Answer:</u>

How is nature in the poem<br> (9:00pm) similar to nature in the<br> story?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Nature Poem follows Teebs—a young, queer, American Indian (or NDN) poet—who can’t bring himself to write a nature poem. For the reservation-born, urban-dwelling hipster, the exercise feels stereotypical, reductive, and boring. He hates nature. He prefers city lights to the night sky. He’d slap a tree across the face. He’d rather write a mountain of hashtag punchlines about death and give head in a pizza-parlor bathroom; he’d rather write odes to Aretha Franklin and Hole. While he’s adamant—bratty, even—about his distaste for the word “natural,” over the course of the book we see him confronting the assimilationist, historical, colonial-white ideas that collude NDN people with nature. The closer his people were identified with the “natural world,” he figures, the easier it was to mow them down like the underbrush. But Teebs gradually learns how to interpret constellations through his own lens, along with human nature, sexuality, language, music, and Twitter. Even while he reckons with manifest destiny and genocide and centuries of disenfranchisement, he learns how to have faith in his own voice.

According to our class studies, there are seven major Tenets of Romanticism. Which of the following is NOT one of them?
Vitek1552 [10]
Stream of consciousness which came much later than the Romantic writers and artists.

The Second one has to be B. It cannot be the last 2. We as a species have failed to live up to the Romantic ideal. He is lecturing all people, not writing for them. He is disappointed in man's behavior.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to the third one. My guess would be allusion. He is referring  to Greek gods.
