Phaedo is written by Plato. When Socrates was executed, Phaedo was with him. Phaedo describes the details of Socrates’s death. He says that Socrates was very wise and brave. He perfected to die speaking the truth of life telling a lie. He was accused of misleading the youth and causing them to hold free opinions. So, he was arrested by the authority. But he wasn’t executed immediately since the sacred mission to Delos hadn’t been completed yet. So the execution was delayed until the arrival of the ship of Athens. When the ship came, the day of execution was fixed. One the of execution, many students his friends, and relatives came to meet him in prison. That day had also been passed in the usual Philosophical discussion for a long time. After that, he went into another room. After taking bath he looked fresh.

Then the prison officer came with a bowl of poison and said that Socrates had to drink it. Making the tears in his eyes, he went away. He was offered poison. Even though, he didn’t change his facial expression. Rather he commands his student not to lose their hearts. Then he drank it calmly. He walked for some time. His friend started to weep and he scolded them. Finally, he by down. In the end, he wished that a cock should be offered to a healing god, Asclepius. In this way, the bravest wisest and most upright man died.

Interpretation

The story is trying to say us about the importance of life and death. In our death is inevitable. Everyone should die sooner or later. So, we should accept death for the sake of truth, justice, and prosperity. Death for righteousness never becomes worthless. As in the story Socrates accepts death calmly for the sake of righteousness. He thinks that dying bravely is more satisfactory than living cowardly. So, he accepts death for the sake of truth and humanity.

Critical Thinking

Though the story talks about death for the truth and humanity there are many ideas that are unacceptable.

In this modern age, do we believe in the existence of the soul and life after death?

Do modern people follow such principles as Socrates?

Was the Athenian government so cruel that man couldn’t have the right to express the thoughts?

Assimilation

After reading this lesson I learned a great moral lesson about the truth and justice. I must be bold to speak the truth. If anything is wrong. Moreover, I was a coward and afraid of death. But after reading this story, I have decided to die bravely for the sake of humanity. So, I will always hold truth, Justice, and righteousness.

The Illiterate

Author: Laxmi Prasad Devkota
Unit 3: Education
Subject: Adventures in English Volume I

Literal Comprehension

‘The Illiterate’ is a beautiful poem written by a Nepali poet, Laxmi Prasad Devkota. In this poem, he compares the uneducated/illiterate person with different things, objects, and animals.

According to him, an uneducated/illiterate person doesn`t understand the value of sunshine because an educated person utilizes the energy of the sun in different ways but an uneducated/illiterate person uses the sun only to determine the day and night.

He has also compared an illiterate person with the wind because the wind flows in any direction they doesn`t have any destination hence uneducated people don`t have any kind of aim or destination.

They were also compared with vegetables as educated people use them and fill their hunger by giving them laborious work.

An uneducated person is unable to make any kind of solution to the problem, they need to ask an educated person.

They don`t have any ability to determine what`s wrong and what`s right even god also feels sad for giving life to such an uneducated person.

At last Laxmi Prasad Devkota requested god to allow them to become an educated person.

Interpretation

This poem portrays the importance and value of education in our lives. The poet explains how a person becomes small and shameful in society if he doesn`t have sufficient education as in the poem.

He might be telling us that education is the chain, which every person has to wear to get respect from any kind of society.

Otherwise, educated person utilize their power for their benefit and the illiterate person may suffer to a great extent.

He explains the reality of society and how an educated person tends to discriminate against an uneducated person.

He explains the role of education in normal life and how education plays an important factor in making life easier and successful.

Critical Thinking

This is a beautiful and inspirational poem with a very important message attached to it presented in a good manner by Laxmi Prasad Devkota.

Although I agree with the beautiful message of this poem I found some parts of the poem unconvincing and questionable.
