Jodie Foster Character Analysis

Jodie Foster is a famous American actor. When Sedaris’s Parisian hairdresser finds a picture of Jodie Foster walking her dog, he doesn’t know why she’s holding a plastic bag. Hoping Sedaris can shed light on this, he shows him the picture, and Sedaris explains that Jodie Foster is carrying a bag of dog poop—something that confounds and disgusts the hairdresser. Sedaris, for his part, suddenly feels patriotic, feeling more connected to his home country than ever.
