Should Metal Bats be Banned in Youth Baseball?". On March 11, 2010, a high school pitcher in California was facing a player using a metal bat, when he was hit in the temple by a line drive travelling 100 mph. His skull was crushed, and he spent weeks in a coma. Fortunately, after surgery and months of rehabilitation, he survived. The accident brought to the forefront an issue that has been a safety concern ever since the 1970s when metal bats began being used instead of wooden bats. Metal bats are dangerous and should be banned by youth sport leagues for several reasons.

Answer:
Crito was there to try to persuade Socrates to escape from the prison where he is awaiting execution.
Explanation:
Socrates was accused of "corrupting the young" and "impiety" by the people of Athens and kept imprisoned awaiting execution by Hemlock poisoning. One of his friends, Crito, a rich wealthy Athenian visits him the day before he was to be killed. He had already bribed the guards and even made ready a boat for his escape to another town. But Socrates refused, saying that even though his charge wasn't right, he doesn't have to pay back evil for evil, in his case wrong for wrong. "Two wrongs doesn't make a right". Injustice should not be answered with injustice. So, he'll happily accept the verdict of the people of Athens and be executed.
The shift in structure from an autobiographical tale to a "bedtime story" or a "fairy tale" increases the personal interest of the reader into the story itself.
The reader starts meeting a family that could be his/hers. The family starts facing some problems or a horrific nightmare. The fairy tale, then, allows the reader to go beyond the borders of the story itself and start picturing himself/herself in the action.
The reader then starts to this how he/she might act? How can the family be protected?....and so on.
