Is it not considered a poem or poetry?
Answer:
Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no. But Paul Feldman sides with Socrates and Adam Smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes.
Explanation:
Compared with Feldman's argument, the tale of "The Ring of Gyges" is best described as a counterclaim to the idea that most people are moral. The tale is about the corruption of a man, Gyges, that found a ring that made him invisible. One he had that power he saw no reason to follow society's morals and did whatever he wanted to. One could argue that the reason that many people have to "behave" or to act according to the law and morals of a society is the look of others. The judgment that one would encounter should he not follow a certain rule, even if they are "little" things.

Which word best describes Annie in this excerpt?
A. intelligent
B. reckless
C. confident
D. polite
Answer:
The word that best describes Annie in this excerpt is:
C. confident
Explanation:
Let's take a look at the following line from the excerpt:
<em>ANAGNOS: Annie, be- humble. It is not as if you have so many offers to pick and choose.</em>
<u>It is the line above that reveals what we need to know about Annie. Anagnos is telling her to be humble because, at this moment, she sounds overly confident. She even says she only has trouble when she is right, and that she is not the one to blame if she has trouble so often. Annie's confidence is actually quite close to becoming arrogance. She is willing to behave, but Anagnos still feels the need to tell her to be humble.</u>
