1. Sedaris created a humerous story from a potentially boring experience by adding funny details about the french class and making fun of himself as if he were another person. This deadpan style of writing helped create many funny parts to the story. The funniest parts included: when he wrote his classmates and his own poor dictation of the french language, and at the end of the book where he asked the teacher to criticize him more, out of glee from understanding her.
2. The speaker reveals information about himself indirectly through his thoughts and reactions. For example the speaker makes it quite clear, through his thoughts and reactions to the teacher's unflattering remarks, that the speaker is a very self concious person and is easily affected by remarks or comments from others: "After being singled out as a lazy kfdtinvfm, I took to spending four hours a night on my homework, putting in even more time whenever we were assigned essays" (Sedaris 276).
