More Notes

     Today in Human Geography, we took more notes about Socrates, the Socratic method, and what the Greeks me ants when they called you an idiot.  Plus, I wrote extra notes that interested me that Mr. Schick talked about.  
     I put a note about Socrates that his friends made an escape plan and Socrates told them that he is not escaping.  He said to them that he is from Athens and he supports the democracy and if he is being punished for doing the right thing, he would except the consequences. 
     Some other facts I wrote, which are mainly about Socrates (but not all)were the following:

• the people of Athens thought the sun moving across the sky was Achilles pulling a fiery chariot across the sky.
• Socrates compared Athens to a big, sluggish, stupid horse and he compared himself to a horsefly buzzing around.
• Socrates said that what he did was the right thing and he should be rewarded.  He suggested that his penalty be free food for life.
• Socrates is considered one of the Greece's greatest heroes.

     Finally, we talked about an amazing quote from Socrates: "The unexamined life is not worth living."  I find this a really inspirational quote.  I think Socrates was saying that we are unable to grow and understand your life unless you reflect upon it.
