History

kap26 [50]3 years ago
7 0
With the purpose of making a humorous tone in the first two paragraphs of his essay, “Me Talk Pretty One Day.” David Sedaris does two things. First, he creates a ridiculous character of himself. And second, he places his character in a tight location. Sedaris makes an intimidating setting that he is arriving. Everyone who joins the school, excluding for himself, spoke French well. Moreover, the students were all fresh, good-looking, and elegant. He clarifies that he feels totally out of place. By putting a ridiculous character in an intimidating condition, Sedaris is conveying his readers to always imagine the unforeseen.

Why was there so much new government policy during this era in American history? Was it necessary?
grin007 [14]
There are many reasons for the government to step in and create policy after policy during the Great Depression. The Great Depression was essentially caused by people buying things with money they didn't have, which in turn made the economy tank and made TONS of people poor and unable to purchase basic necessities. So the government created a the New Deal, which is essentially a ton of programs that allowed younger teenagers to work to help supplement the family, but also to build new infrastructure for roads, highways, dams, etc.. Without the new deal, and all of those policies we would've been unprepared for the upcoming World War 2
