Amy Pollard reads Plato’s Republic as a reform document.

Amy "Smith" needs to get with the times then. Reform, Plato's republic. My mum could do a better job of government... I'd guess it would be kinda interesting though, in its own way. If it was perhaps written by Mohammed.

Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a diatribe against an ancient document, outlining modern times but it's not going to scan. And but: could you care enough to read it is my point? Possibly but it's an odd way to go about bringing a reader in by bringing reality out of the equation. Let's just hope she does not give up the day job.. .
