Asimov and sedaris both relize that being educated doesnt have anything to do with the way something apears.The way thats being communicated doesnt make the person more intelligent then the next,but the infortmation thats trying to be told is important.By what a persons saying you can also tell if that person is academically intelligent or street smart.Assimov states,"I received the kind of aptitude test that all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160''.This made him feel asthough he was more educated then others from one test,as stated by assimov,"All my life I've been registering scores like that, so that I have the complacent feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too".As he finds out later that this is clearly untrue.Theirs different types of intelligence in the world ,common sense,handy work ,not just book smarts.From passing one test doesnt make you intelligent maybe academically but theirs more in life to be educated by then what u answer correctly on a test.Sedaris states that launguage doesnt have to do with how intelligent a person is ,its not how you say it but more important if the infortmation trying to be told thats what makes a person seem educated.

  1. I really like how you start this out but I gotta know more. You write, "Asimov and sedaris both relize that being educated doesnt have anything to do with the way something apears." What do you think it has to do with?
