"The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they 
get killed and so on; and when they seem to be growing up, which is 
against the rules, Peter thins them out; but at this time there were six
 of them, counting the twins as two."

General MacArthur described himself as "a confirmed optimist" regarding the possibility of another world war, Mayor Lauro said.
"He thinks that another war would be double suicide and that there is enough sense on both sides of the Iron Curtain to avoid it," the Mayor went on.
"He believes that because of the developments of science all the countries on earth will have to unite to survive and to make a common front against attack by people from other planets."
The politics of the future will be cosmic, or interplanetary, in General MacArthur's opinion, the Mayor continued. He quoted the military leader as saying that a thousand years from now today's civilization would appear as obsolete as the stone age.
According to Lauro, the only comments MacArthur made about the next war were that he had no idea what form it would take:

According to Lauro, the only comments MacArthur made about the next war were that he had no idea what form it would take:
"He quoted Einstein's reply when asked what weapons would be used in a 
third world war — that he did not know what weapons would be used in a 
third world war but that a fourth global conflict would be fought with 
sticks and stones."

Dystopia
- While I disagree with the thesis it is sound out line. The example could be stronger, more specific evidence
 - -What about the C-51?
 - -What about the innocent Canadians torture by the government- even it not innocent they would have be tortured (against democracy( for their beliefs, rather than their actions (against fairness and rule of law)?

 - But none of these can not be added later of course, but certainly you a thesis means you you have done some research, and not just made up stuff up in your head - that the proto-qustion or thesis question
 - Thesis Question: With C-51 the and other factors how close it Canada to a 1984/Brave new World. Have Canadians become willing slaves without realizing it?

ENGC27 Drama: Comedy
Winter 2016
Dr. Laura Jane Wey
Topics for Midterm Paper
Please write a 5-6 page essay (excluding bibliography) on one of the following topics. Be
sure to give your essay a title. Your essay should have a clear central argument that is based
primarily upon close readings of the text. Secondary sources are optional.
Please submit a hard copy of your essay in class on Monday, February 22nd. In addition,
you are required to upload your essay to www.turnitin.com. The course ID is 11530486, and
the password is lysistrata. 2 points will be deducted for each day that a paper is late.
Students who only submit their essays electronically will not receive any comments, nor will
their appeals to have their marks reassessed be considered.
Formatting instructions:
 Essays should be double-spaced, in 12-point type, with 1-inch margins all around.
 Make sure the pages are numbered in the upper right corner. Please do NOT make
a separate cover page for your essay; instead, include your name, your student
number, and the course title in the upper-left corner of the first page, and attach the
bibliography on a separate page.
*********************************************************************************************************
1. Lysistrata and Much Ado about Nothing both feature at least one unusually
powerful female character. Please choose either one of these plays and discuss:
how are female characters portrayed in the text? What is the basis of a female
character’s power? How does she negotiate the constraints of the largely
patriarchal values of her family/society?
2. The Brothers, Much Ado about Nothing and Volpone all rely heavily on deception as a
plot device. Choose any one of these three plays and discuss: other than advancing
the plot in general, what is the significance of various important acts of deception in
the play? How does deception dovetail with the overarching concerns of the play as
a whole?
3. Underneath a lighthearted façade, all four plays we have read so far explore
“serious” themes such as effective governance in Lysistrata, childrearing in The
Brothers, marriage in Much Ado about Nothing, or avarice in Volpone (to name but the
most obvious). Please choose one theme of interest to you in any of these plays and
consider: how does the play probe this particular theme? What different viewpoints
regarding the issue does the play present? What is the play’s final take on the subject?
4. Other essay topics possible if developed in consultation with the instructor
before February 10.
