By Socrates being in jail, it is making his aquaintances and all those who are associated with Socrates look bad. If it turns out that Socrates is executed, it will appear to everyone else that Crito values money and wealth over friends. In thinking about this Crito realises that this will make him look terrible and he will be shamed.

Crito feels Socrates should escape from death and as he knows people in nearby towns, exile would not be a terrible fate. Crito believes that by staying in jail, Socrates in taking the easy way out where escape would be the most honourable and courageous thing to do.

he doesn't want others to criticize him for not saving his friend's life.

What does struggled mean?

It means to fight with something. It may mean something that you don't want to do, or something you are forcing yourself to do what you hate or avoid what you'd enjoy. For instance, in Jesus' prayer, he struggled with the idea of going to the cross. He admitted that he didn't want to go there, but he concluded the prayer saying, "Not my will but Thine." So he didn't want to do it, but did it because he knew he had to.


Why is the final e in escape omitted when writing escaping?

English spelling rules can at times be very confusing. In general, the final "e" is used to make the first vowel say its name, to have a long rather than a short (or soft) vowel sound. For example, cap rhymes with slap (it has a soft "a" sound). But if you want a long "a", then it's cape. Bit rhymes with hit, and has a soft "i" sound. But when you add the final "e", then you get bite (the "i" becomes a long i). Escape is thus pronounced with the long "a" sound, thanks to the "e" at the end of the word. But when we turn certain verbs into their participle form (which ends with an -ing), we drop the e and add -ing. So, bite becomes biting. Hope becoming hoping. And escape becomes escaping. (If you want to keep the soft vowel sound, you have to double the consonant-- like: hopping, which would have a soft "o" and rhyme with stopping.)


How do you enrich literature in the poor world?

Give them something they are interested in or helps them escape reality. People who live in poor countries have a lot of problems and are probably too busy worrying about survival to appreciate good literature. They would probably only want to read books about managing debt, survival, or social reform. People need to solve their immediate problems before they will want to enrich their lives with the arts, though some may appreciate books about plight or tragedy and overcoming human adversity.
