2. What is your reaction to the ending of the section? What is good and/or bad about the type of society outlined by Socrates?
When I finished reading this section, I thought about what life would be like without plays and poems, art in general. I came to the conclusion that is would be terrible, being able to express feeling, having emotions people need that. If there was no art, poems, plays the world would be boring, there would be nothing to make a person unique. Nobody would be able to express how they really felt. I, personally wouldn't see any good of Socrates society, it would be boring and dull. If Socrates was trying to achieve perfect society, this would not be it, this would be the opposite. Nobody would be interesting, nobody would be different.
