Help with presentation
 

Hey everyone, I need some help on a performance I have to do for speech class. I have to choose a piece of Literature that I want to share with the class that has an important message. It could be a chapter of a novel, short story, essay, journal, fiction, non fiction, poetry (slam, spoken wood, lyrical), or dramatic literature (scripted for the screen, television, or stage i.e. a scene or monologue). It needs to be around 8 minutes long. Does anyone have some suggestions of a good piece I can do for class? Any suggestions would be helpful.

i think you could find something that suits your assignment in R.M. Rilke's Letters on Cezanne. what message could be more important than truth and beauty?

Since this has nothing to do with movies, this should be in Book Talk, where I see you already have a thread asking the same question. Starting multiple threads on the same topic is against forum rules.

Maybe a monologue from Bring It On

Ed Norton's monologue from The 25th Hour. :D

Please refrain from starting multiple threads on the same topic.
