David Sedaris is an English teacher as far as i can tell, and a homosexual. From reading his works i have learnt that as a child and an adult both the man despised the idea of a teacher, thought of them as more of a tool of torture. When he was a child his teacher would always manage to find a way to announce to the class that David has a speech issue and was in therapy for it. as an adult he was called upon to be a teacher where we learnt in the teachign style he assumed teachers used he showed how little he thought of them.
David is a man filled with terror, terrified people will realize he is homosexual, realize he doesnt know WHAT he is doing, and terrified that people will find out he isnt even a real teacher. He is a Coward at heart, a man who doesnt know how to be brave.
What do people think of him, almost as much as he thinks of himself. I know for me i thought he was stupid i man the whole dividing class into these differnt sections like pillow talk, and other things. Its pretty stupid, assinging them to watch a silly soap opera and getting genuinly offended when they state what they think will happen based off of what actully happens in other soaps. But he doesnt have a funny story to tell, and boy can the man right a good paper. I enjoyed reading what he had to say even though it was pointless.
Over all David Sedaris is a homosexual english teacher who doesnt know a thing about being a teacher but he can write some good papers. Something i feel he should have tried to impart on his students when first becoming a teacher
