I did the speech, because i thought I could adapt one of the ideas I had. I wrote it from the point of view of a girl who'd recently come back from a trip overseas, and had been asked to talk about it, but decided that she wanted to talk instead about her grandmother, who'd taken a similiar trip in the forties. It was about how her grandmother had to overcome obstacles, but ultimately fulfilled her dreams (probably corny, i know!) and the 'perfect circle' was that the girl making the speech was completing her grandmother's journey. Kinda tenuous... but I did it last and i hate writing stories under pressure (and yet I did ext 2... what?)
haha, I got to the end and then realised that the speech was supposed to be for a book, and i'd written it as though she was speaking to an audience. So at the end I wrote something in brackets, like '(taken from the speech given at Amy's return dinner)'. I hope that excuses it!!
Now that I've written this my speech seems even worse. I should have kept it to myself.
...haha.
