Paper Assignment : Question: In your opinion, does Socrates do his duty?
This paper is not a summary of the Crito, but rather the chance for you to investigate one particular theme related to Socrates and his performance of duty. In other words, you should not just simply answer the question of whether Socrates does his duty (“yes” or “no”), but you should also provide a thorough analysis of the specific reason why you think he does or does not do his duty. A good thesis identifies one particular aspect of Socrates’ performance of duty and places the entire paper in that framework.
