Me Talk Pretty One Day

I have mixed feelings for David Sedaris' literacy narrative Me Talk Pretty One Day.  It was an interesting story and I enjoyed his descriptive words but I didn't really think it was all that great as an overall story.  Every story brings out emotion whether its small or strong.  I found myself being irritated as I read this story at how the teacher disrespects her students.  I truly appreciate my education and value my teachers.  I hold them in high esteem and respect them, but I feel that respect should be mutual.  The fact that this woman actually used insults to teach her students made me feel uneasy.  I suppose I shouldn't feel this way because her results were succesful but I don't know if that would be the outcome for everybody who took her class.  Frankly if I was being taught by her I would either A drop the course or B not ever listen to her.  But I guess thats the whole point of his story.  Showing that his appetite for learning the language was so strong that he endured this treatment.  So in the end the srory turned into something positive.
