Slice of Life
By Russel Baker
This essay talk about the process of how to carve a turkey, as the writer explains the process he throws in some jokes in order to make the reading entertaining to the reader. He makes remarks all through his essay beginning with the first on where he tells the reader that if he/she notices that the knife is not cutting right, to give up and ask someone in the house why their knives are not kept in better carving conditions. Mr. Baker continuous speaks in sarcastic ways like when he tell the carver, that other options to rather than sharpening the knife is going around the neighborhood looking for one which is unlikely buy through this action the person may gain certain amount of things. First he says that the carver may indeed get to watch a football game at a neighbor TV set, as this creates the probably of someone back home getting tired of waiting and actually doing it him/her self. He then sarcastically talks about how badly cut the meat must be once the person arrived, if indeed the people got tired and cut it themselves. This was a very good essay through which a person can really enjoy the sarcasm as soeme things are learned through the process.
