a. What is similar between what Asimov and Sedaris realize about language?
A) Both Asimov and Sedaris do indeed have similarities of what they realize about language. Asimov realizes that language is an importance to ones vocabulary. While reading this document, I realized that Asimov was a considerably smart man, just by how he worded his sentences. However, a certain individual is smart in one or more areas. As Asimov scored high on certain test, he discovered that he is not as intelligent as his mechanic in those areas. Language can also determine on how smart a person is, in most cases. Sedaris realizes that language is one of the most widely known ways to communicate. Also, Sedaris does believe that language is a large part of how smart a person may be. If a person knows more than one language, you can determine that, that person is indeed a smart person, or is a good learner. Just by knowing that someone speaks well, or knows more than one language, you can estimate that person is smart, just by his or her language usages. Both authors have great views on how language can be a great passion, and have a affect on how a person can be viewed as well.
Not sure I buy this--"Just by knowing that someone speaks well, or knows more than one language." Help me understand what you mean here.
