Assignment 3

I feel that Sedaris wrote this article to poke fun at how judgmental people are. People constantly are mean and talk about others based on their clothes or hair. A strangers clothes or hair is not going to affect another person in any way yet it seems like a necessity to point out someone who differs from ourselves. For example when people get angry at weather conditions that create delays they take it out on employees who have no control over the situation.

 I think Sedaris wanted readers to think about how they look at and treat others. Realizing how he emphasizes the judgments the people around him make and how he does as well makes me think that. I know there have been times that I get mad at a situation and will take it out on a person who has no control over the problem. I know that I have seen others do the same thing to people and have had it done to me at my job as a customer service representative.

I think Sedaris wanted people to feel weird and guilty while reading his article. It makes you look at how you treat people and feel bad about some of the choices you may have made. I think he wants people to change how they treat others and be more nice. It made me think about my actions more.

Is Mr. Mustache the same person as Adolf Hitler?

Why did he make that comparison?
