4.Besides dialog Sedaris uses other literary methods like humor and sarcasm. He analyzes the class room situation and experience and puts humor into it to make it more enjoyable and easier to follow. It really helps the reader understand his thought process throughout the narrative which helps to captivate the readers attention. Humor is an important characteristic in this writing because people find it funny when they can relate to fearful events in their lives and laugh about them. The teacher is putting fear in the students and most people can get a pretty good idea and can relate to being humiliated in class at some point in their lives.
If i was writing a narrative about being fearful during a class or when trying to learn something i would use lots of description of my fears and describe the setting and whats going on in detail similar to Sedaris. This would help the reader get a good depiction of whats going on and how i am feeling. This helps because the reader could relate to other times where they were nervous and have had similar thoughts and feelings.
