How I relate to the reading
In The Trial and Death of Socrates, I related to the line, "... he begged and implored the jureymen with many tears, that he brought his children and many of his friends and family into court to arouse as much pity as he could, ..." Whenever I am in trouble with my parents, I often use sympaty as a way to get away with things. I try to make them feel guilty for grounding me and I use the lline "You used to be a teenager once too!" frequently.

Good connection! I think it can be a useful skill to know how to gain people's sympathy! It is interesting that Socrates was saying that he was making the choice NOT to do this. Do you think he made a good decision?
