	The challenge of Farrago is to select material from a variety of literary genre (poetry, short stories, speeches, essays, drama, novels) which address central specific theme or emotion and to interpret the material through oral presentation. Quality material is required; it provides insight to human values, motivations, relationships, problems, and understandings and is not characterized by sentimentality, violence for its own sake, unmotivated endings, or stereotyped characterizations. Introduction and transitional material must be included, to establish and maintain coherence of development. Rules: 1) The reader should choose material from no fewer than two literary genre which have a common theme or emotion. 2) Introduction and transitions between the pieces of literature are required. They are to be memorized or given extemporaneously without the use of notes. 3) The selections are to be read from manuscript. The use of a reading stand is permitted but not required. Need some help?
