Do Frazier's How To Operate The Shower Curtain
Instruction Can be Funny
Do Frazier's "How to Operate the Shower Curtain" is a very funny way of making fun of extremely complex instructions for simple things, like shower curtains. Even the article is a littler but it still can catch your attention all the time. I really like his way to introduce the things to the audience. In the essay he goes on and on about different scenarios that may occur while operating a shower curtain. The essay is funny because it reminds me of some instruction that i have seen on very simple things. I usually get bored when I see introductions without images, but in this one, it tells you something funny and which may happen for real and it also very easy to imagine.
In this essay, his also mention about the

    First I have to say after reading all four essays I connected with this story the most. When Jessica talked about how she had to get up early and do all those chores before school made me think about when I use to have to do the same things when I was back in high school. I didn't have to do so many chores but, like Jessica I had to get up very early to try to be the first one in the shower or my sisters would…

    When writing it’s important to connect with the topic; therefore, I read each article before making my decision. “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan was the article suggested by the Reading Selection Quiz, I could not connect with this article at all. I found “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris uninteresting. Some Lessons From the Assembly Line” by Andrew Braaksma was intriguing and hit really close to home, so I decided it would be best for my critical analysis project.…

    My English 102 class has now begun! My Prof. has only put three assignments up along with the syllabus I attached to this email. She gave us two options to pick from for the books we will be reading. I picked Bright-Sided: How Positive Thinking Is Undermining America (by Barbara Ehrenreich) because I can understand it and it was more interesting to me than the other book. She gave us three assignments so far that is due each week. My first discussion is to read the first half of our chosen book. Then, write a reaction on the discussion board, showing what you believe are the major themes or ideas worth discussing from that book. My response must be at least 500 words, in Standard American English with correct grammar. The…

    The exercises we performed during the workshop made us take into account how Christopher Boone distinguishes everyday objects from his perspective. The workshop was incredibly effective as it made us use personification to give emphasis to the objects involved during our production. Incorporating personification helped provide me with a wider variety of acting skills, which I will be able to use for my GCSE production to help create a more dramatic storyline.…

Remember that the context involves both the format of the writing (Are you writing an essay, an email, a brochure, etc?) and the history your audience has with the subject (Is this your audience’s first experience with the subject or do they have a very convoluted history with it?)…
