    Based off two sources the Apology and the Republic by Plato I need to answer these questions with plenty of textual evidence from these books

    1.Demonstrate the function of philosophy in both the state/individual
    2.Demonstrate the advantage or disadvantages of philosophy with respect to both the state and individual soul of the philosopher
    3. Present sound arguments of your own devising that students/states that pursue philosopher are worse/better off than those that do not with anti-Platonic/Platonic arguments.

    I need help in finding specific quotes to use in the books rather than actual ideas. I just don't have enough time to find all these quotes. Any experts in Plato here?

    That is 2 hours a page. You got this. An hour is when I'd get worried.

    I can easily write the actual 6 pages quite easily. Its the finding of "textual evidence" from a span of 200+ plus pages that is going to kill me. If some one can at least tell me in what books Plato answers these questions it would help quite a bit.

    When I think of dissecting Plato, I immediately think of Clutchfans.

    Find someone else's paper on the subject. Then translate the whole thing into German. Then translate it into Japanese. Then translate it back into English.
    Turn the final result in as yours.

    Damn... just realized I can't drop this class because then I wouldn't be considered a full time student which then means I won't receive my housing allowance through the GI bill.. **** ME!

    Does it matter how much you complete or just how much you attempt? I know with insurance I dropped under the 12 hr rule once and I was still ensured because I started with 12.

    To recieve the monthly housing allowance through the GI bill you have to be an active full time student. That means if I drop from 4 classes to 3 I'm a part time student and will stop receiving housing allowance checks.
