Need some assistance with the following questions:
1. David Sedaris is usually described as a humorist, meaning that his purpose as a writer is to make his readers laugh. Did you find Sedaris's essay funny? If so, what specific moments in the essay were most funny? What made them funny to you, exactly? Besides humor, Sedaris seems to describe something important about the nature of learning -- what is that? To Sedaris, what is learning best compared to?
2. Choose one of the readings (David Sedaris, Malcolm X, Plato) and compare that writer's learning experience with your own experiences as a learner. Do the writer's ideas about the nature of learning hold true to your experience? Why or why not?
