Input for english class needed
 

Hi guys,

I´m looking for a good short story, poem or song. I have do an interpretation for an english class this semester and thought I would ask for some input. The presentation is supposed to be about 10-15 minutes long, and before I just take some Bob Dylan song I figured I´d ask you guys for ideas.

Any suggestions are welcome!

The Generous Gambler by Charles Baudelaire - Lose a soul; gain money and hot chix.

are two of my favorites.

The Lottery sticks with you. I don't think there will ever be a point in my life that I forget the plot of that story.

I know you have already chosen for class, but my personal favorite short story is The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant

Most Dangerous Game is a great read.

I also enjoyed the Cask of Amontillado.

Do not do this story for any college-level class.
