In your opinion, is it ever right to harm somebody? Why or why not? What would Socrates and/or Thrasymachus say in response to your answer?

In my opinion I think that it is right to harm someone if you really need to. I think this because if the person that you want to hurt did something wrong than he does deserve to get hurt. This is when it is right to hurt someone. The only time when it is not right to hurt someone is if the person did not deserve the hit or if he hasn't done anything wrong. I think that Socrates would agree with me because he thinks this about justice too.

Simile of the Cave

1. Compare and contrast what Socrates says in “The Simile of the Cave” with Fahrenheit 451. How are characters like Mildred similar to characters in “Simile of the Cave”?

A: The reason that the charecters in the cave and Mildred are the same is because they always believe what they are told. They are afraid of figuring out the truth of what is really going on the world. Both of these people are under the control "The Man" or the government because they are afraid of speaking their minds or to go against them. One difference is that the people in the cave actually tried to come out but they were afraid and overwhelemded by what was realy going on. Mildred keeps going on with her life and doesn;t even think.

Thoughts

One time when my [parents told me a lie was when they told me SAnta Claus was real and I acytually believed them. Later on in my life i ended up figuring that he wasn't real and that devitated me emotionaly. Even I got over it which a good thing. I miss the thought of Santa though he was really special

Illiad Reflection

I think that Pride is major thing in everyone’s life and there is many consequences to pride. There was this one time when my pride really got in the way. I was a playing a game and someone had just scored on us. This got me really angry and this caused me not to pass the ball because I thought that I could score too on the other team. Eventually I ended messing up and the took the ball away from us. This is the one time where my pride really got in my way of my life and I really messed up. I felt really selfish that day and blue.
