Assignment 4


   I frankly think that  the things that Sedaris and his reaers mostly interested about can be anything that is around us. In his essay, he mostly depicts people's episodes, clothing, hair, and sayings and even their political views toward country.

   He wrote this writing after the Barak Obama become the 44th president of the United States. That was the first time ever that the African-American became a president of the United States. This 'Time Match' is really important because it might influence the authors attitude a lot. Winning in presidential election of ethnic minorities means a lot of things. It states that the country become more open to every members of the society. In other words, It means that we should acknowledge the features of ourselves and respect each others also. Sedaris did it greatly. He approve the opinions that he barely not think as so. He listened to them and just think on the other way. He carefully watches other people's scene in the airport. Related with this time match, we can clearly define the author's view point.

He saws the world as it is, not adjusting things into his stereotype. He avoids to hate things, complaining about it, he just likes to contemplate them. Like describing the appearances of people, the author just want to recite and think about people he saw. Unlike his taste, he also listens to the people who have different political views. It can be seen on the situation that the man with khaki shorts and man with mustache expressing their own political view to Sedaris.

  1. You say, "He avoids to hate things, complaining about it, he just likes to contemplate them. Like describing the appearances of people, the author just want to recite and think about people he saw. Unlike his taste, he also listens to the people who have different political views."

    I think that's interesting. Why do you think he would take the time to write about these people? What is at stake for him, or why does the contemplation matter to him?
