    Socrates - The protagonist of The Apology‚ as well as all of Plato ’s other dialogues. Socrates seems to be a very simple man‚ not having many material possessions and speaking in a plain‚ conversational manner.

    NOT be able to tell the truth even when the truth is clearly obvious or evident? What makes a person tell lies instead of the truth? Liars eventually get caught in their tangled web of lies and deceitfulness. Lying hurts the liar and those who are subjected to the lies of the liar. Lying hurts relationships and it makes the liar untrustworthy. A liar violates the trust others may have had in them when they are caught in their lies. Liars seem to carry an enormous amount of burden upon their shoulders

    Persuasion: Socrates’ Apology In speaking of effective rhetorical persuasion‚ we must appeal to our target audience in a way that will get them to accept or act upon the point of view we are trying to portray.

Then he moves on to compare the poems first three lines to that of a painting‚ discussing the color composition
