I love this because I’m barely starting prose and now I know how we’re supposed to put emotion in it and feeling.

I really enjoy your prose piece. I think is really good It was really interesting. I imagine the pain of the characters and the way you said it was wonderful.

We were assigned this for homework in our Speech class. You already know this but it was awesome, I really felt like you were their mom and you conveyed the emotions that come with it astoundingly.

I love this and want to do it for my prose piece! I wish you would’ve noted what part the excerpt is from, but great work! It’s obvious you put in a lot of time and effort.

Do you guys think this would be a good dramatic interpretation piece ?

@kendraellis8660 6 жыл бұрын

You could always try to use it as one. I only did it as prose because I couldn’t think of movements.

Jovana Gomez in my book it starts on page 85 called Part Two The Land of The Living very first monologue about old prophecies. That’s were I got the whole monologue from and I think I took some other parts from others but don’t remember which. Good luck!

In high school forensics are you allowed to walk around during prose?

@kendraellis8660 6 жыл бұрын

Ella French I'm gonna say no because from my understanding you had a small hula hoop like area for movement but I haven't been in high school for two years and I don't know the rules.

@treasuremoss 6 жыл бұрын

No, you are allowed movement of your body, but you are supposed to stay stationary. Soooo yes and no.

1:10 Why did it take so long to prepare?

@sunshineconner1224 5 жыл бұрын

Practicing pauses, emotion, timing takes long.

could I do this as a solo acting piece?

@kendraellis8660 6 жыл бұрын

Sorry for replying so late, I legit just saw this post. You could probably do it as a solo piece. I performed it as prose because I couldn't think of movements, but you probably could.

why is her binder so tiny😭

Maliah M cause it’s the only binder I could find. It’s tinier than most used for prose but the judges didn’t care

Which state... the state of the undiscerning? A victory of quantity over quality; and perhaps cut to a quarter the length, and learned by heart might have been more manageable and engaging.

@Kerigen 5 жыл бұрын

You have to read it in seven minutes depending on your state and rules of uil or tfa

@kendraellis8660 5 жыл бұрын

It is memorized, I still have it memorized and I haven’t practiced it in two years. This is prose, you are supposed to ‘read from the book and the length must be under 10 minutes, but over 5 in the state of Virginia. Granted I haven’t done forensics since I graduated high school but maybe you should read rules of forensics for the correct state first before criticizing others work.
