Speech team- prose

I was on speech team last year, and although i wasn't in prose ( dec YUCK!) my friend had a really good piece.
Once i see it again i'll tell you the details but it was about inner city kid gangs shooting type deal. She broke finals almost every time.

I'll try to give you the info tomorrow or later tonight if you want.

Are you a male or a female?

If you don't mind doing a lesbian piece its called "The World I Cannot Touch" It is a beautiful piece, though extremely hard to find. My friend did it this year, and it was her first year, she placed in finals everytime and went on to sectionals where she missed going to state by 1 point. It was her first year. Amazing piece but you can't mind lesbians is the only thing

You are virtually guaranteed to win if you find a short story in which the narrator's best friend either dies in a car crash after drinking too much or dies of a drug overdose.

The Game by Donald Barthelme. It can be cut to 8-10 minutes. It's first person. Narrator is going a little crazy - s/he's in a missile silo and the replacement crew hasn't come.

There should be some good bits in Auntie Mame.
The Color Purple should have some good stuff.

It's been a long time - do people still do Go Ask Alice? If that has receded, you could do that.
Another oldie but goodie is Sixteen.

Depending on your district, you could read from Forever by Judy Blume....You may not break, but you'll get some responses!
