Prompt #1 Chapter 4

This chapter was titled Paris, and as I’m sure you can guess it was all about the behavioral quirks of the Parisians. What I loved about his chapter was Bryson’s sense of humor. It kept the chapter interesting and made me want to keep reading. One of my favorite jokes was: “You would go into a bakery and be greeted by some vast sluglike creature with a look that told you you would never be friends. In halting French you would ask for a small loaf of bread. The woman would give you a long, cold stare and hen put a dead beaver o n the counter. ‘No, no,’ you would ay, hands aflutter, ‘not a dead beaver. A loaf of bread’” (Bryson 41).
I have been to Paris and I can remember being treated in a very similar manner by a French woman who owned a n ice cream store.
