Reading “A Plague of Tics” by David Sedaris, caught my attention from the very beginning. I enjoyed reading this passage because of the visual representation the author provides you with, his detailed descriptions makes you feel as if you are there. From a reader’s perspective, you automatically understand that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder but I also felt sad for him as a child at the time. As he was growing up, his parents and teachers just thought it was behavioral problems. I found it interesting that when he was growing up he wondered why people treated him like he had a problem because in his mind he thought everyone was just like him. He thought his everyday life experiences were the same as his peers, he didn’t understand why people didn’t want to touch and lick everything when they saw it. I feel that this passage gave me a great outlook on how to write for your readers to experience what you went through. His thoughts were all on the paper in an organized manner and catching his reader’s attention from the beginning.
