All poetry is non-prose, such as The Odyssey.
Because this is Prose Reading, you must read from the pages periodically and give the appearance of reading; even though you should have memorized your piece for total understanding and control. I tend to look down a few times per page, pending on how much I put on that page. Moreover, how long you look down can be dynamic.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
