Preparing for a test

Today, we learned more about ancient greeks and took more notes to prepare for our test tomorrow. In our notes we talked about Socrates and how he was a Stonesman and he met with students in a workshop. His method was to ask questions, which led to the scientific method. Then we learned about how he was accused of two crimes named corruption of Athens' youth and impiety. Men voted whether he should be alive or not and was eventually sentenced to death. The votes were about 279-221. He had a chance to escape but turned down the offer because he was loyal tot he community. They made him drink poison called  hemlock which locks up all of your organs and leads to a slow death. Lastly, we learned about an "idiot" which is someone who forbids to take part in any public life such as democratic government of the city state. It was considered dishonorable to the community if you didn't participate in the activities.
