Mention Of Lysistrata's Husband
1,317 wordsBy: April Gibbs Lysistrata by Aristophanes I think the story of Lysistrata is both interesting and surprising. I did not expect a story that was written in 411 BC to have much of anything I could relate to our world today. Aristophanes deals with very real, every day issues in this story.

Left Side Of The Bunker
1,304 wordsReflecting on my experience in the Persian Gulf War many things are readily accessible in my twisted memory. Time, distance and other irrelevant aspects are distorted and askew; each recollection is as daunting and subdued as the next. I can recall the fighting all too clear; days, nights, weeks and months in battle, minimal water and mealy scraps of food to eat. The time was 1500 hours in late February 1991 although it was around midday the sky resembled that of dark night. The ground war had b...
