Socrates :(

          Today in Mr. Schick's Western Civilization class we got to learn more about the Greeks yet again! But this time, the video was sad; not because it had drama in it, but because we finally learned exactly why Socrates, who we learned about during the first semester, was killed with hemlock. Before, all that we knew was he was sentenced to death for corrupting the youth and forced to drink hemlock, but now we know there was another reason. After Athens had lost the Peloponnesian War and its leader Pericles had died of plague; the Athenians needed someone to blame it all on. And sadly.... that was Socrates. Oh, and one more thing, Hi Mr. Schick! I saw you at Target!
