Ephemeral souls, this is the beginning of another cycle that will end in death. Your daimon or guardian spirit will not be assigned to you by lot; you will choose him" (617d). You are about to be returned from the plain of Er to a mortal home, where you will be raised in accord with the parents you choose; before you choose you are allowed to take a virtual tour of 5 prospective parental homes—an intelligent viewer would be able to see that these five homes (some may have other children already, some may not) look very like the five sorts of regime Republic describes—at least they are shadows of such regimes.
Describe the homes and the way the people in it interact during your virtual visit
(Don't tell me about cities as the book does...).
Which of the five do you choose to be born into? Why?
I don't understand exactly what is being asked of me all I ask is what the five mortal home they are asking for. If you a cant help I understand.
