So it's declamation time at Webb.  That means I have to pick a
passage out of a book and recite it in front of the whole school.  It
counts as  percent of my quarter grade.  So I've narrowed it down to
three stories.  But I'm not sure which one to pick.   The only catch is
that I have to have them approved by my english teacher, academic
advisor, and college counselor. 

They are as follows:

An excerpt from Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

One of two excerpts from Civil Disobedience by Thoreau
    - The story about the ants
    - The story about the night he's in prison for not paying his taxes


If anyone has any other ideas or likes one of these I would appreciate any input you would like to give. 

Thanks
