what we learned in mr schick class today
Today in class we wrote notes about things that happened in history. We learned about a toxic plant and it helped us understand why Socrates died. Socrates died because a long time ago he was a teacher and he would try to give the children complicated information about god and which one they believed in.They killed him with the hemlock that citizens would brew together into a drink and he had to drink it for his punishment. His execution was illegal in the B.C times. Also Everyone thought he was a hero and was worshiping him like he was a king so when Socrates was executed everyone was upset and was disappointed that he had to drink the toxic plant because he was able to stop wars. We also discussed A lot of people would get sick when they would work in the fields. During this time when they got sick there was no real medicine of how to cure them, sometimes they would use leaches to suck out all the bad blood in there body because that's what they thought could work since they was no real medicine. Since, of the lack of medicine that's why the life expectancy was only 50 to 60 years old.
