So the assignment from wednesdays reading was "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and "Jesus Shaves".
I was able to relate to "Me Talk Pretty One Day" quite a bit. It really brought back memories of the perils of foreign language classes. I took Spanish for three years and absolutely hated it. I sucked at it and never really could get a good grasp on it. So that's probably why I wised up this year and just dropped it altogether. And yeah my Spanish teacher, who I'll leave nameless, was a monster bitch just like Sedaris's French teacher. Uhhh so yeah did you guys find this one easy to relate to? Anything interesting you wanna share about experiences with foreign language classes?
I thought "Jesus Shaves" was probably the funnier of the two. When they couldn't really explain what easter was to that Moroccan kid was pretty funny. Easter really is a pretty screwed up holiday if you think about it. Another thing I found to be kinda interesting was how Americans have a rabbit for Easter and the French have a Bell? So what did you guys think of this essay?
