DUE FRIDAY 5/18 Apology Reading pp. 61-70

Highlighted section: P.69 section 40e-(end of)41a Summarized: "Death would be a nice punishment because I will get to see my friends again. Please kill me, i would like to see them."

I almost understand why Socrates would say this. I do not get this because he is trying a bit to hard to give the judges guilt trip. It seams unnecessary to go to that length of making someone feel bad about themselves. Yet at the same time it seems effective... but only if he told the judges before he was sentenced to death!
