write a letter to a friend about two specific aspects of Plato’s Republic. Remember that your reader has not read the dialogue. If someone has to read the dialogue in order to understand some aspect of your paper, then you need to explain that part better. Your job is not to summarize the Republic, but to identify and distill Socrates’ central claims about justice. There are no specific parameters for length, so write as much or little as you feel is necessary to answer the two criteria in the prompt.
