I loved this book as a kid. Bravo!

This is one of my favorite DI's ever. Because it get's rid of all the flashiness and leaves you with something real.

I got chills! You're perfect!

Wow this is amazing!! Youre an amazing actress! This is my favorite book of all time. It has an amazing message

I have watched this over 6 times it's amazing!I will be in debate as a freshman,next year!

this is absolutely amazing!!!!!!! i cried

This is amazing! So raw and real!

i cried reading that book as a kid and you just made me do it again!!

Thank youu!!

This is just amazing. I couldn't help but cry at the end

Thank you. You did the book so much justice.

Thank you! That's so sweet and so nice to hear. I'm studying to become a teacher right now so that makes me so happy! Thank you again :)

I read this book to my students every year mostly for the great message of wearing your bike helmet while riding your bike. I love your interpretation of the book. I will be showing it to my class of third graders. They really loved the story. Fantastic job!

Yay! Have SO MUCH FUN! You don't have to compare to anyone, you're YOU:) Thank you very much & have a great season!

This was amazing. I cried.

Amazing, I HOPE I CAN DO THIS DURING MY ACTING

This is very good I just wish everyone didn't copy it. She added her own original inflections in it and so many people copy her exact additions of the piece. Once I see someone writing with a stick im like: "that's not in the script and you are copying the girl from '11- s t o p " this really is good in a simplistic way

If you take the book it will tell you she uses a stick. So it's not copying.

*Recorded with a live potato*

Ahh thank you, thank you, thank you! You're gonna be great- just have confidence:) DI is so much fun & your four years in high school will fly by so enjoy them!

ive seen this piece more than 10 times, and i like yours the most! :D

Thank you very much. Will do! It looked amazing by the way!

I love this sooo much! I think I want to try this for my forensics piece :) Awesome job!

I loved this piece, a wonderful thespian you are :)

I’m doing a selection for my hair book for my speech this year! We only get 8 minutes and if any of you didn’t know the book is actually 90 pages and this speakers selection was pieces form all over the book re arranged. I’m obviously going to change a lot of it (bc copying = not good) and mine needs to be shorter but I’m using this format as kind of a starting point for mine. This is also the first time I’m cutting a selection myself, I’ve only done pre cut speeches before. This performance is so amazing though, props to the speaker!!

That is so sweet! Thank you :)

this was amazing. you deserved first place

Beautiful piece. It's so sad, though. ;-;

IM NOT CRYING, ITS RAINING ON MY FACE

That's so cool! I'm honored! And thank you so much, that's very kind. It was one of the best moments I've ever experienced, I'm so blessed to even have made it as far as I did :)

I can’t believe I just saw you commented on my old video (this is my new KZread account)! You were a huge inspiration to me when I was doing Forensics/Debate. I qualified to Nats the following year in 2012, and got 2nd place in Expository Speaking. :)

This book was one of my favorites when I was younger, and this DI made me completely relive the story. I've never send a dramatic interpretation before but now I want to watch some more. You're a fantastic actress and this brought tears to my eyes.

Oh my goodness I loved this book, you performed it so well!:) Congrats on 6th! I'm a freshman doing DI and I could never compare.

I'm going to use this piece for my DI piece, but I definitely won't do as well as you. You're amazing!

Thank you :) You're all so kind!

Those expressions on her face are amazing.

@ethananimation Aww oh my gosh that's so nice. I'm just honored to have even gotten the chance to perform on the same stage as them. It was an incredible experience.

@skuqem Absolutely! :) This was an amazing piece. Simple and powerful.

I did this for my theatre tournament

You're so sweet, thank you very much. That means a lot to me :)

Good job!

Im in speech too, and i love this piece. Mines a bit different wording, but you did amazing..

Thank you :) you're all too sweet.

@erinmariewalsh it took me forever to realize this was you when I watched the Anna August duo! Did it myself last year and it was the most fun piece I've ever done.

Ah yes I loved Anna and August! :) That was seriously so much fun!

Aww thank you! Yep! I went to Downers Grove South but I'm actually a college freshman now:)

I'm doing this DI this year!! I'm a freshman. I can not compare to you!! :D Good job (:

That's awesome! I actually did not do this during my speech season. I had never done Dramatic Interpretation before the National Qualifier and I was just filling in for a girl on my team so I had no idea what I was doing. So I only used this piece at Nationals. But no this piece is not from a play, it's actually from the book "Mick Harte Was Here" by Barbara Park. Hope that helps:) And thank you very much, that's very nice! Best of luck to you during your season! Have fun!

I did this piece last year and one first superior and superior plus at every competition

:D OMG that was amazing. I sincerely believed you and by the end i has to remind myself that this was a DI. I'm new to speech and debate, and I'm doing a DI at my first competition, in like a week. I hope one day I'll be as amazing as you:)

You wanna know something super cool? I live in New Mexico, and my Speech teacher, when introducing us to what a Dramatic Interpretation actually is, showed us this. He used you to demonstrate how it's actually done. I just thought you'd get a kick out of knowing that(: But wow, how did you not win? You should've! This was amazing.

I definitely think you could handle it! No matter how old you are, you have to feel a connection with whatever piece you'll be doing. So, if you feel a connection with this piece and Phoebe is the type of character you could see yourself portraying- go for it! It helps to really put yourself in that character's shoes. Make the book come to life when you're telling the story. Because that's really all a DI is, in my opinion. Just telling your story. Best of luck :)

You are so sweet! That means so much:) I wish you the best of luck- you'll be great! Just have a great time. Enjoy every minute!

I saw this in the final rounds of my very first DI, unfortunately she didn't give this piece the justice you did.

I did this piece for Dramatic Interpretation and got 2nd in my State Tournament! It's an amazing piece, and you do it so beautifully! At one of my tournaments I got the compliment that someone thought I did it even better than you and I was speechless (ha ha ha). Love this piece so much!

It's from the book "Mick Harte Was Here" by Barbara Park. And the cutting I did was just bits and pieces from the book :)

im plannin on doing this for a debate tournament! did you make it up from the book or does it say these exact words in the book?

Hey, I was planning on doing this as a drama piece for speech. (is that what you did?) but the problem is,is that isn't suppost to be from a play? or is it a play? we might have different rules? but it would be great to hear back! you did a wonderful job by the way! =)

ho ho ho Your breath smells GET DOWN! haha good job I really liked this (:

This was the only real "tear-jerker" in that final round. She should have placed much much higher.

does any one know where i can get a script for this piece? thank you (:

Nope! This was at Nationals last year, held in Dallas, TX :)

Does anyone have the link to the script?

That was great, also YOU'RE SO ADORABLE. You're from downer's grove south right?

My coach wants me to do this at our next 3 tournaments and at National Qualifiers. If I qualified, would this piece having been at nationals so recently be seen as an issue?

I have to do a six page essay analysis of your preformance by this friday. Do you know of anyone who reviewed it and could you give me the website ?

What could I take out to make it into 5 minutes?

Sorry my replies are so late; I haven't checked the comments in a while! But I absolutely think you could handle it. No matter how old you are, if you can connect with the piece (or any piece for that matter!) do not be afraid to try it! I'm sure you'll do wonderful things :)

I had to use the book :) It's okay to get creative with the cutting you choose or make up, but just make sure you use the book and aren't making up TOO much of your own words. But the reason DI is so fun is because it's nice to put yourself in that character's shoes. I wish you the best of luck!

Was this in Indianapolis?

Okay so I can perform this soooo well but I'm worried to because it's overused. Should I go for it or stay away?

@erinmariewalsh I honestly thought you should have won the final round.

i did this and i went to varsity state im 12

Is this for nfl?

Would it be to inapropriatte to change this to a brother?

Ummm I'm not sure they allow that but you would have to talk to your coach and see what they say. In the book, Phoebe is obviously a girl and I'm fairly certain changing the main character's gender wouldn't be appropriate where I'm from but again, that's something to talk to your coach about. Good luck!

does anyone have the script to this

This piece and my mother's touch are the worst pieces ever. Every single girl does them and they all sound exactly the same thing. It's so predictable. I prefer more original pieces with pieces cut from literature and plays.

I completely agree! I don't think this is piece is that amazing even when this girl does it. And it's worse now that EVERYONE does it.
