Picture of Socrates death

       Today in class we began by looking at a picture of Socrates death.The picture portrayed Socrates about to drink the hemlock while everyone around him seemed to have a different expression. We saw how everyone was upset that was the last time they'd see him. Many people were looking away, while others were waving goodbye or leaning up against walls. Although some people found Socrates annoying for asking so many questions about everything and anything, many people though he was a very interesting man and a great philosopher.They most definitely didn't want to see him die. I found the picture very interesting, and I was curious to see what else we would be learning today. Unfortunately the class doesn't know when to be quiet, so we never got past the picture. For the rest of the class we all just worked on our own.
