In the article, "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris, the author tells a story of his trip to Paris to learn French. David's French teacher is quite abrasive and degrading to the students. The author uses humor to tell his story of humility. He mentions learning French similar to joining a gang. The author’s goal is to show the audience that no matter how hard something may be; no person should give up. David's teacher embarrassed him many times in front of the other students. David tried his best to learn French, but she was hard on him as well as all the other students. David did not use this as an excuse to give up; it made him more determined so he worked harder to succeed. David was unaware how hard it would be to learn French. David said, "Learning French is a lot like joining a gang in that it involves long intensive period of hazing" (Sedaris,1999). When you join a gang there is a long and hard process to for them to trust you. The author is saying learning French is a long and hard process. I agree with the author, learning any new language is hard. People in some countries are not very welcoming when you do not know their language. They tend to treat you poorly and not accept you. This does not mean togive up trying. Learn the language and prove it can be done
