5/16 The Apology p.41-50
Q. Indicate one sentence that you highlighted or underlined (give page number and section number) and write a short paragraph (at least 4 sentences) that explains why you underlined it or highlighted it. Be prepared to share this in discussion.
A. I pretty much highlighted all of page 49. This section was when Socrates was questioning Meletus due to the fact that he accused Socrates for corrupting minorities. This was interesting to me because it seemed like Socrates was using his old tricks of minipulating and stirring up the conversation between him and Meletus in order to achieve his point. That would be, Socrates is not the one behind this issue, but the ones who influence them such as the Jury members he takes for example, and the ones that expose them to violence. In my opinion, it is not at all Socrates' fault for the corruption of minorities because he's just letting out his own thoughts, freedom of speech but I think the cause for this is the parents or the government for exposing minorites to such things that they don't want them to know.
