Why does Socrates refuse to beg, cry, and bring his family to court even though he is facing the possibility of being sentenced to death?
Do not write:
1. If Socrates begs and cries, that would mean that he is guilty.
2. Socrates cares about his reputation.
3. Socrates does not fear death.
Your post must demonstrate that you have read the assigned dialogue (17a-42a). You must quote the text to support your claim/description. Your post should not be a summary of the dialogue nor your opinions about the dialogue. You must address the discussion question directly.

I strongly advise you not to read anything on the internet about the dialogue of “Apology” such as Cliffsnotes, Sparknotes, Wikipedia or other various sources. They are not reliable sources. Furthermore, you must not copy from them. Only use the link of the dialogue that I have attached at the top.
