Would Lysistrata idea work now?

Before we did a journal on this, I was thinking about it and thought about it for a while cuz I kept changing my opinion. For example, the war with Iraq and the U.S. could of been ended if all of the women on both sides of the war, did abstinence, it might of worked, but it would of been hard for women then are married to husbands that arn't in the war to do this. And times have change were men can go on without sex, and this isn' fair to the troops that are over in Iraq. Also the Iraqians that are in the war may not care. I don't know, I just thought about this before we actually had a journal about it.

Pages 83-90

Hilarious on how Mrrrhine teases Kinesias. She now has all of the cards in her hand because he has to listen to her in order to get what he wants. She keeps on going back to get the most ridiculous thins, and his Kinesias reaction is just priceless, because he starts praying, wondering why on earth does is she doing this to him. Then I like how he says "Relax? I'm dying a slow death by dry goods," cuz he is just desperate at this point, pretty much would do anything. Lysistrata proberly should of ask for more from the men cuz they are just going nuts, based on Kinesias reaction. I lol when Mrrhine offered him perfume, she just wanted to piss him off. I just thought this scene overall was hilararious. It must be funny being in his position but Mrrhine gotta do what she gotta do in order to accomplish peace.

The ending to lysistrata?

I was quite disappointed as the book ended as I expected, how the men would resist at first but give in at the end. I didn't like that people were dancing and singing and the end, not that I don't like happy endings, but I would of perfer of some twist since this a comendy. And when we were doing this in groups, the person that summarizes, comes up with question etc, the predictor in our group also hated predicting because it wasn't a surprise that their was peace in the end. I mean that still made this a great book, with all of the comedy, but it felt like I was reading the ending again because I knew what was going to happen.
Still compaing the ending to the other two books, it still beats them, becasue it wasn't a peaceful ending. Well, I mean that the ending wasn't bad, but it was like sooooo expected. I didn't see that the women in the other two plays were going to commit suicide. Please can people tell me what they thought about the ending?

My topic on Lysistrata.

My question is to show how the author (can't remember name now) shows how he/she creates how men are violent/aggressive, and war like, and to show their counterpart women, that they are peaceful, resolved conflicts without violence, and willing to perserve life. So far, I think that this topic looks easier then it looks, because doing it orally would be difficult, because I think that I would have to to be able to repeat some stuff. Finding the quotes was pretty easy, with an explanation, but I then feel that this is going to be a lecture repeating what I say, I don't feel comfortable with that. Just wanted to say on how I felt about it.

College dudes

College sounds more particpation grade then doing written work, I like it. I'm tired of work just being shoved down my work, rather actually LEARNING something. Although, I wonder how they grade on particpation. I like the idea that college english classes are like TOK, awesom with every class being like kronke's. That way we learn more and be able to teach it to other classmates. This makes me wonder on why mps teaches this way, why don't they change the curriculum for juniors and seniors to get them ready for college.
I.B. is going to make college a joke. There is no way college can be harder then I.B., just no fricken way, It may be about the same amount of difficulty, but thats a good thing because they made me feel prepare for college. I also thought they were going to lecture us on how college would work, but they seemed more dependent on us for discussion. I wish I would of been more prepared.

first 36 pages

well so far, its not bad, there isn't really much that is going on, as I think the play so far has been led out, men keep fighting in wars, and the women are wishing to stop them by no more sex. A lot easier to understand then the other plays, as the themes seem easier to pick up in this one. One question that has been bugging me are the names, I mean, some of them are hard to pronounce, whats up with that, idk. Just somethin I figure that I express on what I think so far

start of Lysistrata, opening thoughts?

Compare to the other plays, this play seems to be "ancient", so I guess we can all expect a different style of writing. Although, the style of writing could be effective by the translation, and I don't don't like that the translators had "tone" down the style of writing in this play. I'm actually hype to read this one, as sure, themes and symbolsm we all are suppose to look for, but this play goes way back in history, so I'm curious on what the Spartans, or whoever is in the play on what they do in their time. I wish I was living there to get a feel what of they are going through, hopfully this book will do that :)
