Sedaris establishes a humorous tone early on by somewhat mocking his situation. Also, his reference to Pa Kettle also contributes to his comedic tone. 2. Rather than mocking them, Sedaris puts us in the situation of his classmates by including dialogue so that we can better relate to the situation, making it more humorous. 3.
Antonia Peacocke uses short parts of from different authors to shape her argument, agreeing with some and pointing fun at others. She recognizes some of the steps taken due to the fact that the content of some of the jokes are not for younger ears.
