*Late* ~Excused~ 5/17 The Apology pp. 51-61

(on paper duh)

I guess that this part of the book is when Socrates explain to this people that what there doing is wrong. He says this because he is being accused for something that isn't wrong. They say that Socrates has polluted their city with his beliefs and teaching but really Socrates is trying to open their eyes and see the wonderful world and city they live in. But like most people they are to ignorant see what they really have until you've lost it.

*Late*~Excused~ 5/16 The Apology

(Underlined stuff is on paper) [duh]

We'll we did the debate today but i didn't have the reading so i didn't do the debate but this came up during the debate. Mr. Jana said, "Wisdom is knowing that you don't know"

This struck me because i thought being wise was that you learned from other peoples mistakes but Socrates is saying that wisdom is knowing when your wrong or in other words ignorance. Socrates is saying that if you know not of everything then you have truly met the standards of wisdom. Also people who say they know all, they truly know nothing.

5/15 Pericles Funeral Oration

I guess Some main points are:

Manliness
Ancestors/Destiny
Kind
Courage
Freedom

This is a good thing for the trial because what was going on here, society, it's that it's a democracy place. Which i suppose means freedom even though Socrates was trying to teach this to others.
