Description
I'll hand out a list and I want you all to pick one sonnet from the many choices you have and let me know which one you plan to memorize and perform.

You'll have to find your own monologue to perform as well
The monologue can be from any book, movie or play as long as it's all Spoken words and not actions. All monologues must be between 10-15 lines, if you have any doubts on it's length just show me what you've picked.
Of course for an example I've chosen Sonnet 10 and a monologue from Alice in Wonderland.
Sonnet

For shame! deny that thou bear'st love to any,
Who for thyself art so unprovident.
Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many,
But that thou none lovest is most evident;
For thou art so possess'd with murderous hate
That 'gainst thyself thou stick'st not to conspire.
Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate
Which to repair should be thy chief desire.
O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind!
Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love?
Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind,
Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove:
Make thee another self, for love of me,
That beauty still may live in thine or thee.
Monologue
“Dear, dear! How queer everything is today!
And yesterday things went on just as usual.
I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night?
Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different.
But if I am not the same, the next question is, “’Who in the world am I?’
Ah, that’s the great puzzle.
I’m sure I’m not Ada, for her hair goes in such ringlets, and mine doesn’t go in ringlets at all.;
and I’m sure I can’t be Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh!
She knows such a very little!
Besides, she’s she, and I’m I, and – oh dear, how puzzling it all is!
I’ll try if I know all the things I used to know.
Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is –
oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!
However, the Multiplication Table doesn’t signify: let’s get geography:
London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome – no, that’s wrong,
I’m certain.
