In at least 150 words, discuss how using context and knowing affixes and root words can readers understand texts such as the apology. use details from the text to support your answer.

 Using context and knowing affixes and root words can help readers understand texts such as The Apology by helping you understand words or what is going on in the story, personally for me it was hard to follow along because I did not understand the affixes and root words and I did not know what the story was talking about. For example, “Well as I was saying, they have hardly uttered a word, or not more than a word, of truth; but you shall hear from me the whole truth: not, however, delivered after their manner, in a set oration duly ornamented with words and phrases. No, indeed! But I shall use the words and arguments which occur to me at the moment; for I am certain that this is tight and that at my time of life I ought not to be appearing before you, O men of Athens, in the character of a juvenile orator-let no expect this of me.”  Everything but “For I am certain that this is right, and that at my time of life I ought not to be appearing before you, O men of Athens, in the character of a juvenile orator-let no one expect this of me.” Okay, with the word ‘juvenile’ I can guess that they are dealing with a bad kid and they are probably in front of a judge (in modern times)…but they are trying to decide the kid’s fate.

The use of context while having prior knowledge of affixes and root words would help the reader to understand works of literature. For example "The Apology" where once you understand the words being read you will know the actions taking place in the story. For example as found in the passage. "Well as I was saying, they have hardly uttered a word, or not more than a word, of truth; but you shall hear from me the whole truth: not, however, delivered after their manner, in a set oration duly ornamented with words and phrases. No, indeed! But I shall use the words and arguments which occur to me at the moment; for I am certain that this is tight and that at my time of life I ought not to be appearing before you, O men of Athens, in the character of a juvenile orator-let no one expect this of me."  When in the text it describes how the prosecuter has not made a valid argument and has used broad accusations. Then it states that the defendant is only going to put forth his honest statements. Then that it is an inconvenience and obserd that anyone would think of him in this way at the age he is. However at the end it states "...in the character of a juvenile orator-let no one expect this of me." where juvenile often refers to childish. Since it says the character of a juvenile it refers to the people. Then the statement no one expect this of me is a plead for saying don't believe him I believe that this means that anyone who believes that the prosecuters argument is true is childish because no one should believe it.
