For my act of resistance, I made sure not to wear a coat on my weekend. By doing this I hope to show myself and others how noticeable people who lack clothing, which we find essential, are. With my idea in mind I made sure to attend different activities, and at these events, I also made sure there were many people present.
Personally, I felt that my appearance would make others look, and think "what a crazy fellow" I also had a feeling that I would be asked about the absents of clothing, as it was "very cold out"
In many instances I was asked by complete strangers wasn't I cold? My reply was yes, then would precede to explain my reasons.
If I were to do it again I think I would let people know that they could ask me about my dressing and not feel rude.
Did my act help the the lack of clothes in needy people? No, I did nothing myself to increase the number of clothes people own. However, I think that my act did help. I can imagine people wondering: why is he doing that? and when they found the reason I'm sure that it gave them thought, and maybe told someone which raised awarness, and thought about the issue. How could I know? A person who saw me walking in the cold weather may just have dontated to a local shelter or other organizations for the needy.

Absence brings about peace, I think from Reading Lys. that this theme is s total lie. Throughout Lys. and because of the women and men the idea of absence seems like a bad one. The men and women both nearly destroy themselves and other with this idea. I wonder if this book could be applied to other institutional beliefs?
The stage I thought had an elements that to the reader was important, nut because it is a play, was important to the stage. Lys. seems to have a small focus on costumes, sets and to an extent special effects. This to me was different then other plays I read, that seemed to have much more description.
Since their are so many themes in Lys. I'm not sure what to focus on. One thing I have found, is that must "popular" themes fall under one catorgy, which I found was war. I think Lys. keeps a very imporant point on war, and that war is caused beacuse of perosonal intrest. This was truly seen in Lys. as all themes, sex, power... are caused for intrest.
Characterization with plot is quickly seen in Lys. One character, who is Lys. is characterized throughout the play, with special attention to the beginning of the play. She expresses much about herself, which she shares with her women. Since their are not many characters the play Lys. each character is characterized (in my opinion largely)
