I believe where Sedaris had put the article itself, was a very big writerly choice he made. As i mentioned before I personally think that magazines are were authors write to vent or criticize the world we live in. Like the relationship between Justin Beber and Selena Gomez. People write a lot of things about their relationship, true or not. Its nothing but gossip, people complaining, people talking about how horrible someone looks in a dress. So since his article had people doing that exact thing the people had done to Sedaris then why not put it in a Magazine were we hear about that stuff more often?
Sedaris had also made it into something that kept readers attention by making little jokes here and there. But there was always risked that he was taking. But it was also a good thing to do because it kept readers attention. I for one don't like reading things that bore me. I tend to get sidetracked and forget why i am even reading it. Also what I even got done reading.
He mentions politics, and criticism about what people wear, and even teenage pregnancy. All of those problems we are having today. We never really realize what goes on in the world unless it is physically happening to us. Teenage pregnancy is a very touchy subject everyone touches and talks about. Some people look down on the parents or pregnant teenagers and criticize their way of parenting. AND EVEN POLITICS. oh my god don't get me started on politics there is so much going on with politics. Even criticize the president because of the economy or wars and think they can do so much better. But how can we really say we can do better when we don't even know what it is that a president has to do or deal with? And magazine articles have people criticizing famous actors or singers with the dresses or clothes they make...
I think all of these choices can relate to each other. For him to get it noticed he had to put it in a magazine. Then the stuff that was mentioned in the article matches what actually goes on in magazines. So complaining+ gossiping+ criticizing = a good story and belongs in a magazine.
