This is my first piece by Plato. I struggled with it since I have also just finished reading some of the early Sophists' works. So this is very different in that Plato uses his character Socrates to basically bash and "shame" rhetoricans.

After discussion with my Rhetorical Theory class, we all came to the conclusion that we really do not like Plato, however, we do respect him. At times we did find ourselves agreeing with him but more often than not we would have rather he use less words to get his point across :)
