Writing The Republic

                   In the interest of not boring the grader of this blog, I think I will take a more unusual route.  I think everyone else has covered a large majority of the social and political (and every other kind for that matter) issues in the Republic. Instead I would like to comment on the writing style, which I found unique. Different from every work we have read, perhaps in the non-climatic nearly monotone writing.  Of course, the work is not in its original translation and therefore is subject to interpretation, causing, perhaps, some human error.  Nevertheless, the writing does follow a logical somewhat repetitive pattern. (which given the work is kind of a stupid statement)  The other thing I noticed were the responses of the individuals, for instance in chapter five the responses varied from, “True”, to “Quite True” to “That can not be denied.”  I do not know if this has any significance, but it was interesting.
