UIL Oral Reading

[professorphlash]

Hey,

I am asking for help again for one of my daughter's projects. You were 
so much help when she was trying to come up with a character from 
British literature to dress as for a party, that I decided to ask for 
help again.

She is participating in UIL oral reading, but is getting very little 
help from her coach on selecting a piece to read for contest. She has 
to have two pieces: one nonfiction and one fiction. She won't know 
until she gets to the contest which she will be asked to read. Right 
now she is working on an excerpt from A CHILD CALLED IT by Dave Pelzer 
for her nonfiction. Her teacher suggested Prissy's "birthing a baby" 
scene from GONE WITH THE WIND. She's not sure she can pull that one 
off, so I suggested maybe something form Harry Potter.  She loves the 
idea.

Now, do any of you have a suggestion about which scene would make a 
good 6-7 minute emotional reading?  If you know any other books that 
might fit the bill, we would appreciate your input.

Your friendly begger,
Professor Phlash
