My speech class continues to trundle along merrily into the third assignment of the semester. This time the class has to do an oral interpretation of prose, poetry, a speech, a play, or a movie. At first I was thinking of doing Lewis Carroll's The Walrus and the Carpenter, but unfortunately it was too short. I don't want a repetition of what happened last week on my informative speech.

My second choice was a section out of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the book, not the website) by Douglas Adams. I may still do a selection from this very funny book, though I foresee a problem finding a part that the audience would understand. Those of you familiar with the book will know what I'm talking about.

Upon additional internet searches for possible material, I got the inspiration to search for speeches by Douglas Adams and came across this gem from Digital Biota 2 in 1998. Like HHGttG, this speech discusses Life, the Universe, and Everything but in a more serious tone and in more depth. It's good enough to deserve another link. Go check it out. I hope to be able to take a section and cut it to fit the 6-8 minute time constraint.
