"Me Talk Pretty One Day"

1. Sedaris took a potentially boring experience and turned into a humerous essay by making fun of himself, telling about his flaws in a humerous way. He also told of his classmates and their mistakes and being made fun of by the teacher, the teacher also being very sarcastic with the students. The funniest parts of the essay were when the teacher would make sarcastic remarks to the students and when Sedaris would make fun of himself.
"Deadpan" humor is making or joke or being funny is a sort of effortless way. Speaking in a monotone voice and not changing the facial expression as if you are not trying to be humerous.
"I knew my fear was getting the best of me whe i started wondering why they don't sell cuts of meat in vending machines." (Sedaris 276). This is an example of "deadpan" humor because you can tell that Sedaris is not trying to be humerous, he is simply telling of an experience but used an unual experience that one could find funny but he is not coming of as trying to be funny.

2. Sedaris reveals parts of himself through the story by using humor. He subtly makes fun of himself and tells of his teacher making fun of him and pointing out his mistakes which reveals parts of himself. At the end we know alot about Sedaris and we come about this by him telling about his experience in this class my making fun of himself.
