Then develop your argument and present your evidence in the body of the essay. The body of the essay is the main section in which you must present and develop ideas; in our case, you need to address the question whether you would condemn or exonerate Socrates. Choose one or two arguments to support your view. Naturally, if you are in favour of condemning Socrates, you should discuss one or two (depending on the length and depth of your analysis) weakest – in your view – arguments raised by Socrates against his accusers. Alternatively, if in favour of exonerating Socrates, you should discuss one or two strongest – in your opinion – arguments he brought in his own defense.
