NAKED

Naked, in this use, does not stand for the nude body form. It is a story by David Sedaris. He wrote this story as if it was one of his own. I could really understand what the character was going through with their "tics" due to the use of first person narrative by Sedaris. One of the tics I found to be strange is how he would lick almost everything during one of his school years. I know that he could not handle his urge to perform these tics, it is just one tic that I have never noticed or heard of before. I know that a lot of people most likely perform meaningless tics daily, they just do not recognize them. The writing sty used by Sedaris is one that flows together, which makes it easy to read. He doesn't tend to blow things out of proportion, or use meaningless jargon. I feel like he writes as if he is talking to his audience face to face in a conversation. Overall a great piece!

  1. I felt the same way with sedaris's flow. It read as if you were having a conversation with him face to face. It make the read much easier to get through.
