Essay #1
Arête
is someone that has a great character and is all around a good person. Socrates was very honest. He stood up for his beliefs and never backed
down. Even at his trial for death he
still stayed strong and fought for honor.
Greeks and people many years ago where all very polite and tried very
hard for a good reputation and to have a good family name. Not all people were as heroic and confident
as Socrates but the most of they tried to be the best they could be.
Essay #2
I personally think that my generation will
eventually ruin the earth. Don’t get me
wrong I love the world I live in but if people like Elbert Hubbard and Socrates
saw the youth now I don’t think they would be very happy. There is no chivalry or pride in what youth
is today I think if mean and women were more like Elbert and Socrates we would
have a better world. If Mr. Hubbard saw
how many people slack off now I think his story would be much longer. If Socrates was here he would be so angry at how
many people don’t stand up for what they believe in like he did. Now I’m not saying that I’m perfect and never
slack off but if people now a days didn’t slack off as much I think Elbert
would be a happier man. I would be
ashamed of today’s youth if Socrates saw it I can’t even imagine how angry he
would be and the things he would say.
Essay #3

grow a lot in the next few years and having a plan is always the best way to approach

all of my assignments in on time or early.

that I have never tried before. Step

forever. Step five, Graduate and get into
a good college and just be very happy.
#1: 21/25 (B). Arete has to do with excellence and effort, not so much with being polite. The Socratic Method and democracy were worth mentioning in your essay, too.
ReplyDelete#2: 24/24 (A). This is a better effort. This shows you understood what Socrates and Hubbard were about.
#3: 25/25 (A+). I like your plan for the next four years. Good luck!
