Answer:

Socrates was a Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher of the Western ethical tradition of thought. An enigmatic figure, he authored no texts, and is known chiefly through the accounts of classical writers composing after his lifetime, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon. Other sources include the contemporaneous Antisthenes, Aristippus, and Aeschines of Sphettos. Aristophanes, a playwright, is the main contemporary author to have written plays mentioning Socrates during Socrates' lifetime, though a fragment of Ion of Chios' Travel Journal provides important information about Socrates' youth.

Plato's dialogues are among the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity, from which Socrates has become renowned for his contributions to the fields of ethics and epistemology. It is this Platonic Socrates who lends his name to the concepts of Socratic irony and the Socratic method, or elenchus. However, questions remain regarding the distinction between the real-life Socrates and Plato's portrayal of Socrates in his dialogues.

Socrates exerted a strong influence on philosophers in later antiquity and in the modern era. Depictions of Socrates in art, literature and popular culture have made him one of the most widely known figures in the Western philosophical tradition.

What do nuns symbolise in a catcher in the rye
ElenaW [278]
<span>The nuns are a foil for Sunny--that whole mother contrast. Holden is looking for a connection with anyone, yet he doesn't find it with either side of that equation.  </span>

<span>Holden has regard for others? Yeah. So what? That doesn't contribute much to Salinger's purpose here. Holden seeks connection. He also seeks to find (and preserve) something pure in a corrupt world. That should be the focal point of your analysis of his interaction with these types of characters in the </span>novel<span>. </span>

why did shakespheres noble characters speak in iambic pentameter while commoners spoke mainly in blank verse or prose
Sergio [31]
1. First, Shakespeare wrote his plays in blank verse featuring iambic pentameter because that was the style of the day. Think of it as a way for an author to show off--and it really is quite impressive if one thinks about it. There are very few authors who can create characters and plots as rich as Shakespeare's and write their lines in a consistent meter. 2. Secondly (I think that this might be what you are asking), when Shakespeare's characters speak in verse (iambic pentameter), they are usually the noble (aristocratic) characters, and their speech represents their high culture and position in society. If you simply look at one of Shakespeare's plays, you can often tell when the commoners are speaking because their lines will go from margin to margin (this is true, too, of nobles who are acting like commoners--whether they're involved in evil schemes, losing their minds, or are drunk!). In contrast, Shakespeare's other characters' lines should sound and look different to you--they should sound "sing-songy" and should look like poetry with uneven lengths. A good example of this is from Othello. When Iago is speaking to his peers or to those in position of authority over them, his speech is in verse, but when he is plotting and talking to Roderigo (especially at the play's beginning), his lines are not in iambic pentameter--this represents the bawdy nature of his speech and, in truth, the baseness of his character.

Choose the best revision of the previous sentence.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Best Revision of the Sentence is:

3. Wharton or Harvard is my preference; however, I’ll attend any school that accepts me.

Explanation:

The subjective "Wharton or Harvard" being singular must agree with the singular form of the verb "is," and not the plural form of the verb "are."  In the same way, the singular form of the subject "school" must agree with the singular form of the verb "accepts" and not the plural form "accept."  This is grammatically described as "concord," which is the agreement of subject and verb.
