Hello and welcome again to my blog discussing the English language. Today we’re going to discuss the article The Dog Ate My Tablet, and Other Tales of Woe. In this article the writer, a professor, recounts her experiences with students excuses to being late and they are hilarious. She details five different types of of excuses: 1. The Family 2. The Best Friend 3. The Evils of Dorm Life 4. The Evils of Technology 5. The Totally Bizarre. They’re all funny in their own mainly because most are absurd and seem ridiculous that students would even think that they would work and because I’ve tried it a few times as well. The last section though was particularly funny because of how crazy her excuse was and thinking that it would work. Students never cease to amaze. It’s a good read if you ever get the chance to read it.
