    Naomi Shihab Nye’s “One Boy Told Me” scrutinizes the world through the eyes of a toddler. “One Boy Told Me” consists of words and phrases spoken by the author’s son over a two-year span; from these words, Nye wove a poem. The speaker is a two-year old boy, whose world is constantly evolving, developing in ways adults forget to imagine possible. “Kids say the darndest things”, and partly this is because small children say exactly what they are thinking.

    It has been almost one month since that incident with Michael and his wife. It took about three weeks for me to even fill comfortable sleeping in my own home. I became so jumpy and paranoid getting in and out my car until I just had to tell myself, enough is enough. I was no longer going to let some women make me afraid to live in my own home. It’s not like Michael had a key or anything. I stop by the health food store today and picked up some miso paste, portabella mushrooms, spring onions,…

    The passage from "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris is a comical, nuanced look at one man's decision to return to school in his 40's, only to find that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Thrust back into the classroom environment, Sedaris is reminded of his angst-filled teen years, full of doubt and crippling insecurity, and exacerbated by a sadistic instructor who seems to take the utmost delight in terrorizing her students. Through hard work, and perseverance, and the…

    animal, or some lifeless object, produces the same effect, it is always because of some resemblance to man, or the stamp he gives it or the use he puts it to.” With this quote in mind, “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris more effectively presents people as ‘creatures who’re laughed at’. “Me Talk Pretty One Day” focuses around Sedaris’s return to school and his experiences with his short-fused French teacher. To start, I believe it’s reasonable to argue the teacher is ‘an animal which…

    My greatest challenge with high school was surviving freshman year Spanish class. Just like David’s educational experience from, “Me Talk Pretty One Day”, I suffered from dealing with a difficult language teacher who overall made me into a better student. It was already tough trying to learn a new language but my teacher Mr. Farnelli made it even worst. Mr. Farnelli was an old Italian man who spoke about six or seven different languages. His accent was thick as can be, and it made it harder to…

    Reading, "Me Talk Pretty One Day", by David Sedaris, is like being at a stand-up comedy show. The article is full of puns and points that make you feel as though you are suffering through this French class with him. Despite all the humor in it, there are some main points I believe he is trying to convey. David Sedaris' main claim of perseverance is well argued, because the author never gives up in spite of a teacher who is rough with him, he spends extra time on his school work while immersing…
