Yesterday afternoon in class we went over Thursday nights homework which was to define eight Greek terms. I thought the most interesting thing was Socrates's death. He was put on trial for his beliefs. He could have just apologized and said he was sorry and they would have let him go but Socrates stood up for his beliefs and refused to apologize. So they made him drink this poison that's called hemlock and that killed him. I think it was a very heroic act to stand up for something you believe in even if it meant life or death. After we discussed each word we had to define Mr. Schick gave us three essays that have to be posted on our blog before Tuesday. At fist when we talked about it in class I thought the assignment sounded kind of hard but now that i went over the directions again it seems like it shouldn't be too difficult.
