1) i selected plato. talk abotu how socrates's death influenced his ways of thinking, and also how his schooling from socrates helped him think differently (like when he asked the questions and stuff in teh middle of athens, and ****** off all teh parents)

2) theme 1 - go to sparknotes.com, and htey have this theme summed up...jsut rearrange the words...the typical bs. i talked abotu how the greeks used mythology as a philosophy (even though myth. isnt really a philosophy) to go through their lives. they had to make sacrfices to the gods and because they were so "aware" of hte gods, nothing they did was not carefully though out with gods in mind.(kinda)

theme 2- also summed up in sparknotes.

theme 3 i didn't get this one, cuz all i can say is that dreams and reality could be the same thing, and theres not really a difference, and **** liek that. cna you help me with this?
