Whom does this title refer to? Whom are we meant to sympathize with-"us" or "them"? How do you know? The title "Us and Them" by David Sedaris refers to the cultural as well as possible the socioeconomic divide between his family and their neighbors, referred to as the "Tomkeys". We are meant to sympathize with "them," the neighbors, as Sedaris portrays them as misunderstood and unfairly judged by not only the family referred to as "Us" but also the entire neighborhood. The author working to build sympathy for the Tomkeys becomes more obvious throughout the reading. Specifically if you pay close attention Sedaris highlights the families interesting quirks as well as their resilience as a family despite their socioeconomic struggles. For example as stated by Sedaris in reference to the Tomkeys not having a TV, "Maybe they read, my mother's friend said. Maybe they listen to the radio, but you can bet your boots they're doing something" (Sedaris 891). This excerpt most definitely is an attempt to highlight the Tomkeys family resourcefulness in any situation even though they may not be as privileged as some of the other families in the area. Overall leaving a majority of the readers with no other choice then to feel for this family.
