Test on Monday

            On Monday September 17, 2018 our honors class has a test on everything we have learned so far this year. This includes, Elbert Hubbard, A Message to Garcia, arete, Ancient Greece, and Socrates. This class was notified that we would have a small essay that accompanies our test that is about what Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” In my mind this quote means that if you don’t have very much knowledge, your life isn’t going to be fulfilled and it isn’t worth living. With this being said, I am going to write about the meaning and how Socrates would teach people by asking them questions so that they wouldn’t have to question any task that they are given. Along with this I might relate it to how Elbert Hubbard wanted someone to just do something without asking questions and how Socrates would ask questions for someone so that they don’t have to. Both of them wanted people to have all of the knowledge they might need by allowing a person to teach themselves through questions or a journey. I’m feeling fairly confident about this test so, hopefully all goes well!
