Beyond the Text 

In class the Plato, a ancient greek philosopher was brought up.  This is a painting of Plato and Aristotle, it comes from a larger painting of the "School of Athens" painted by Raphael. These two greek philosophers are the central focal point,  as they were a major part of the time.  They both carry books, that at the time were ones they had just written.  These two influenced how we see politics today.  I don't have much knowledge on either on of these philosopher's however I have heard many quotes from Plato, one that comes to mind is “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation”.  This is saying that you can really see a person for who they are when they are in action, such as playing.  The reason for this is because they can let their guard down much easier when they are in this state of mind than that of having a conversation with someone because you are aware of what comes out of your mouth.  I think it would be interesting to study that of which Plato has written.
