Me Talk Pretty One Day

1.Sedaris makes a humorous essay out of a potentially boring experience by making fun of the fact that he can not understand his teacher. So whenever the teacher is reprimanding him and he comes across a word he doesn't know he takes it out and uses silly words like "palicmkrexis" or "kfdtinvfm". He uses this just to add funny parts to his essay.This type of writing would be considered a deadpan style because it uses no emotion. The funniest part was at the end of the essy. When Sedaris wanted the teacher to keep insulting him because he was finally understanding the language.

2.By the end of the story Sedaris reveals parts of himself throughout the story. This is seen when he comes across a word he is not familiar with he starts to make up his own word, so that it won't make him feel so bad. We see that when Sedaris is afraid of something he tends to ignore it because the fear is holding him back. When he says, "but now I was convinced everthing I said was wrong. When the phone rang I ignored it".
