Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
whoa! how old are you!? what grade level!? when was this assigned!? The respective philosophies of Plato and Aristotle are not something you can express in or learn from a few sentences posted by someone on Y!A!.

At the very least check out Plato's 5 dialogues and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics!. And if you have time, check out Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Categories, On Interpretation, The Posterior Analytics, On the Soul, Metaphysics, Politics, and Poetics!.

Good luck!. You're going to need it!.

Edit: Whatever you do, don't take the other guy's advice!.!.!. he's misinformed!.!.!. could you at least google him instead of asking someone else to do your work for you!? Try these sites:
