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.
I underlined the sentence when socrates was attacking his prosecuter when his prosecuter got confused with another philosopher and said that socrates had said he believed in gods but he didint.
I thought that when socrates had confronted the guy and told him he confused him whith another philosopher, showed that the prosecuter was unprepared and could have been one of the strong points in his arguement.

The Apology Due wed. 5/16
1Q)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.
1A)"Well then, Meletus, you've given ample proof that you have never bothered your head about the young; and you make it perfectly clear that you have never paid the slightest attention to the matters over which you are now indicting me."
This quote really jumped out at me. What this is, is the result of Socrates using Dialectics on one of his accusers. He simply tried to get the man to explain his accusation, and got his opinion on different matters related to that accusation. What ended up happening, was Meletus answered the questions just as Socrates had thought he would, and by doing so, showed a fatal flaw in his judgment or idea of judgment. I chose this because it seemed like an especially important quote, seeing as he ripped open one of the claims against him.

pericles funeral oration due wed. 5/15
-They try to make a government others want to model; they don't try to copy others.
-They don't try to block their land; they are open to the world
-Individuals are not only interested in their own affairs but in the state's as well.
-They make friends by doing good to others, not by receiving good from them.
These could be good to the debate because these might oppose Socrates' viewpoints. That means he would be the only one who opposes them, which could give them an excuse to attack him.
