Sedaris "Me Talk Pretty One Day"
· Voice: How do word choice and language style reflect the
writer's theme?
· Actions: What do the main character's actions say about
him/her?
· Insight: Where in the text did a character become aware of
something or gain a new way of seeing the world? Describe the
writer's technique for getting this information across.
· Telling Details: . A telling detail or fact is one that advances
the characterization of someone without the writer having to
state an obvious opinion.
·Setting: Experiences happen in some place at some time, and
good essays describe these settings. How did the writer re-
create on paper the sights, sounds, smells, and physical
sensations of this essay? The telling details of a setting can
reveal something essential about the essay without the writer
explicitly explaining them.
· Sequence of Events: How did the writer sequence his/her
events. What phrases or sentences were used to show the
sequence of events?
