I talk pretty one day5/19/2023 Throughout the excerpt, Sedaris creates a vivid picture of how he felt whenever his teacher would insult every student’s introduction and the nerve-racking feeling of what to say in his introduction, and he was criticized in spite of putting his best effort through jotting notes down on his pad, which makes us feel pity for him for it brings us back to our first day in a class when we were worried about what to say as a proper introduction to the class without making fool of ourselves. He describes other students’ conversations with the teacher in broken French that allows the audience to better understand the emotions and struggle not only he but also his classmates are facing. Sedaris appeals to the audience's emotions such as feeling pity for him by sharing in detail how he felt on his first day of class, when he first met his teacher and his classmates. Sedaris employs appeals to pity, a tonal shift from fear to calm, and a humorous tone in order to emphasize the difficulty of living in a foreign country with a minimum level of fluency in the language spoken in that country.
