So I have to write a speech for English class. The topic? Anything. The only trouble is, I'm having some trouble deciding what my topic should be. Would anyone like to offer up any suggestions?

I'll give you a Muffin if you give me something good!

What do you mean, "anything"? I mean, they can't mean just anything. If so, you could give a speech listing "F" in the White Pages.

We make up our own topic; I have no Idea what to choose, so yes, I could give a speech listing "F" in the White Pages.

Write a paper about the differences in the various English dialects. American, British, and Irish writers are all different... (sorry to any Anzacs or Canadians out there, I've never studied your literature.)

How about a speech asking: why it is we remember a murderer, but ignore the victims? Example: Everyone knows who Charles Manson is... rather less know who Sharon Tate was.

Indeed: In London, asking the pharmacist for a 'rubber' will get you a pencil eraser... in New York, something quite different...

Oddly enough, London is not that parochial. And anyway, they have the condoms out on the shelves.

i second this...maybe even go into the "celebrisizing" (yes, i know this isn't a word....but DAMMIT! it should be!!....) of murderers. i always thought that'd be interesting.






....and if anyone can tell me the term im thinking of (if there is one) for "celebrisizing" lol I'LL give them an online muffin. :p

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but Charles Manson never killed anyone, no?
