wraping up the end

yeah, that pun was intended, if u don't get it, wait and think about it a sec....... ok now, yeah, ok.

so over all, i liked Lysistrata and i liked it even more after c-in The Boycott. i think that the language was not as bad as i was expecting and the puns weren't as good as i was hoping for, but decently indecent for a high school class. i think i'll prolly take this book to st8 4n6 n we'll get a reading outta it, we have some gr8 actors and almost all 4n6 n db8 kids have dirty minds (generally speaking, not the rule, but tends 2 b a commonality) so the acting will b enhanced by the fast interpretation of the puns. i really liked that the book was easily interpreted through many lenses, historical, marxist, feminist, etc. i like that it was a happy medium of the other 2 plays we read; the womyn weren't the catty, annoying, rather weak girls that the Alba daughters were, and none of them were the globally manipulative, my-way-or-the-highway person that Hedda was. essentially, i have mostly good things to say about the book, i liked it (this is honestly a good yr, last yr i think i liked 2 books- The Metamorphasis and Night). so, even though this seems really short for me, this is about it. i really think that the imagery inhanced the play because we, as readers, had to interpret and create mental images to understand the play and it was easy to do that because of Aristophanes' language and use of imagery. i loved the puns and metaphors, they made me laugh. and i liked how it was so diverse in it's ability to b interpreted. ok, this is me being officially finished, can't wait fer the next book.
