· I thought the introduction fit well. It was interesting and kept me reading more. The writer talked about minor details of their experience that led to more specific instances faced in their experience in French class.
· Yes the story was specifically focused on an experience the writer had in French class while returning to school at the age of 41. If the story was about the writer’s entire life, they would’ve incorporated their family/friends, likes/dislikes, hobbies/jobs, etc.
· I can visualize the dialogue and how the writer felt misplaced at first because of his age and lack of knowledge of French. I could understand that the teacher was very stubborn and hear how the dialogue was said in tone.
· I thought the writer incorporated very descriptive dialogue. It was easy to comprehend and placement was good. If a sentence was unclear, the dialogue helped clear what was really going taking place.
· I think every student (new or returning) can relate to this story in some way. Some are shyer than others but I think everyone’s experienced a class in their educational career where they’ve felt uncomfortable and/or had an intimidating teacher.
· Yes the writer described his teacher’s personality and teaching styles making it difficult for students to do well. In the end, the writer talks about how he finally realized that he understood what his fellow classmates were talking about and started catching on, putting his teacher’s rude comments behind and believing.
· I thought the conclusion was different than more because it ended in dialogue. However, it was correctly chosen and flowed with concluding the story. It did leave readers hanging because it didn’t finish with the writer finishing the class but the main part was the fear of fitting in, knowing how to speak French and getting along with the teacher. The dialogue between the writer and the teacher answered how all three of those listed above turned out.
