5/16 The Apology

Today's assignment:

Mark the text by highlighting or underlining two sentences that strike you as interesting and/or directly significant for the trial. Directly significant for the trials means something that can be used by the prosecution or the defense to make their case.

ON YOUR BLOG (You should also print this out and keep it with your notes)

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.

Let me see...Page 44, section 21d: "Well, I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance"

I underlined this because it shows not only how humble Socrates is, but how conscious he is of making sure he does NOT mislead anyone (contradictory to what many accuse him of). While other people will go on ranting about something they only have half a mind about, Socrates is very careful with what he says. If something is fact, he will clearly state it as such, and if something is his personal opinion or assumption, he will clearly state that as such. He does not claim to know anything, but instead points out holes in other people's thinking, and giving them a new point of view.

END OF LINE.

*Sigh.* I'm really disappointed that we're finally back to Plato and Socrates, and I have so little to say. Ah, well. Time for the obligatory copy-and-pasted CDP update:

If you haven't done so yet, check out The Magipedia. We worked really hard trying to get it up, and it's quite a good read.

Also, since Eternity's End's release date is probably going to end up sometime during the summer, we may have time to put in some nice CGI cutscenes. But we need the software and experience to do so. Right now, we have Mmykle in charge of that, but I'm sure he won't mind having a bit of help. If you'd care to donate any software program that can render CGI animations (Like 3ds Max, or Maya [Maya CAN make animations, right?]), and/or already have these programs, as well as some experience in using them, and would like to do these cutscenes for us, contact us at eternitysendrecruiting@gmail.com

Oh, and we still need voice actors (Especially females)! Once again eternitysendrecruiting@gmail.com
