twas a gift to hear this human read out loud

Back in my mid-twenties when I decided I would, in fact, go to university after all, I studied history, the sciences, and educational theory w/a smattering of art. Very little literature, minimal poetry. My lifelong self-directed education on poetry has been, at best, cAsUaL. Which means I came to this experience with so.little.knowledge of Seamus Heaney or his work. WOW. The combination of Heaney's words + Ben's voice was a most excellent morsel to whet my appetite for more.

TY @amongthejumbledheap for posting about this in person + virtual event. I never would have known about it if not for your post. 💜 I sipped some citrusy-mint-water + thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

If anyone could recommend any 5-10 minute dialogues for one person that would be great. I need a script for speech and debate for DI and I'm having a hard time.

Thanks!

LD and Policy: *arguing*

DI: They’ve been at it for three hours...

HI: Watch this.

HI: Hey! I’ve got the perfect topic for you two to bicker about!

Policy: Fine.

LD: This better be good.

HI: Pluto is actually a frying pan, and we can’t disprove it because we’ve never sent a drone to land on it!

DI:

LD: What?

Policy: The Actual??

DI: Frying Pan???

yesterday i had a speech and debate tournament that i went to because im on my school's speech and debate team and it was a disaster as always. the debate league my school is part of is a mess, they are always so unorganized and dysfunctional. the person that just got elected coach of the year and is always head of the tournaments, yelled at a person on my team and made her cry. he always talks down to the competitors and there is nothing we can do about it.

the other thing that went horribly wrong but kinda worked out in the end: i was supposed to do this one event that requires no prep because i had no time to prep anything. well that event wasnt going to be at this tournament, so i had to choose another one. so at 5am yesterday (the tournament started at 7:45, i had to leave my house at 7) i found this out and had to write on notecards and try to memorize a 10 minute long speech. well i ended up using my notecards and getting points knocked off for that but who cares. im now going to a state tournament with that speech. (the notecards are seen above).

the speech is a mashup of two chapters, (with stuff edited out) from the book Mockingbird Mockingbird by Katherine Erskine. the event im now competing in is called dramatic interpretation and i basically perform the speech. so if anyone has tips, tricks, recommendations, or any advice on memorizing, speeches, di, etc., please pm me or let me know. ( i need all the help i can get)
