Entry #87

                  So far I have enjoyed the book. Although the language is extremely out dated, it isn't too difficult to follow along. It is sort of like reading Shakespeare, it takes a few tries but once you get use to it you can pull a lot from the language. I enjoy the challenge of trying to interpret Plato's philosophies, they are sometimes so abstract, I like having to fill it in with my own thought process. How I think a thousand year old Greek philosopher would speak, and act and think himself. That what makes this an enjoyable read. It also gives insight into the culture at the time he spoke these dialogues. God was widely accepted, and it was punishable to speak ill of the gods. They had courts set up where anyone could judge anyone else in front of a bunch of civilians. The world was a completely different place.
