Need helping choosing between these 3 monologues?

I'm in high school, auditioning for a part in the Triangle Factory Fire Project. They said to choose your own monologue that has to be about a minute long, and I'm caught between 3.

1. ALICE: [Angrily] Why, how impolite of him. I asked him a civil question, and he pretended not to hear me. That's not at all nice. [Calling after him] I say, Mr. White Rabbit, where are you going? Hmmm. He won't answer me. And I do so want to know what he is late for. I wonder if I might follow him. Why not? There's no rule that I mayn't go where I please. I--I will follow him. Wait for me, Mr. White Rabbit. I'm coming, too! [Falling] How curious. I never realized that rabbit holes were so dark . . . and so long . . . and so empty. I believe I have been falling for five minutes, and I still can't see the bottom! Hmph! After such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling downstairs. How brave they'll all think me at home. Why, I wouldn't say anything about it even if I fell off the top of the house! I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time. I must be getting somewhere near the center of the earth. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny that would be. Oh, I think I see the bottom. Yes, I'm sure I see the bottom. I shall hit the bottom, hit it very hard, and oh, how it will hurt!

2. Who am I? Well, I'm not a silly pair of Tweedles who get all bent out of shape and

tied up in knots if you don't know the proper way to say hello! And I'm certainly

not a bunch of snooty flower girls who act like they're better than everybody else

and whose only ambition in life is to look pretty. And I'm not some party animal

Mad Hatter who likes to cheat at games and break other people’s things just

because he thinks it's funny. I’m also not a crazy white rabbit who never has time

to visit and play and get to know me, when all I wanted to do was be his friend.

And I’m absolutely, positively, categorically, NOT a big old nasty Queen of Hearts

who bosses people around.

I’ll tell you who I am. I’m Alice.

3. The air raids are getting worse. They come over day and night. The noise is terrifying. Pim says it should be music to our ears. The more planes, the sooner will come the end of the war. Mrs. Van Daan pretends to be a fatalist. What will be will be. But when the planes come over, who is the most frightened? No one else but Petronella!…Monday, the ninth of November, nineteen forty-two. Wonderful news. Allies have landed in Africa. Pim says we can look for an early finish to the war. Just for fun he asked each of us what was the first thing we wanted to do when we got out of here. Mrs. Van Daan longs to be home with her own things, her needlepoint chairs, the Beckstein piano her father gave her…the best money could buy. Peter would like to go to a movie. Mr. Dussel wants to get back to his dentist’s drill. He’s afraid he is losing his touch. For myself, there are so many things…to ride a bike again…to laugh till my belly aches…to have new clothes from the skin out…to have a hot tub filled to overflowing and wallow in it for hours…to be back in school with my friends.”

    Depends what the project is. If it's comedy or for children, I'd go for 1. If it's dramatic, go for 3. Break a leg.

    The second one. It sounds fun.
