Any, especially constructive criticism, would be much appreciated. The paper is comparing and contrasting Jesus and Socrates:
When comparing Jesus Christ, as portrayed in the Gospel of Mark, to Socrates, as portrayed in Platos Apology, one will observe that the two sages share a very similar character. Both are depicted as suffering, impoverished, and wise beyond the human norm. They both are shown to be dedicated to their causes and somewhat similar causes, at that. Both Christ and Socrates are also shown to be very misunderstood in their teachings. While similar in many ways, Jesus and Socrates still differ from one another profoundly on a philosophical plane. They have very different ideological approaches to their deaths, for example. Jesus and Socrates live an outwardly similar life, but when the depths of detail are compared, monumental differences become apparent.
