Born a crime blog 2
I believe that Trevor Noah's motivation for creating his book is to inspire people who are dealing with the same problem Noah had when he was young to find there place in the world, just like he did. when you discover yourself, you will start believing that you can overcome any obstacles that comes your way by putting your mind to it. One of the arguments he is building is that challenge authority and question the system because his mom is a Christian, who worships God and God can challenge her and question her when she made a mistake, but then again, God forgives everyone. In conclusion, what I've taken from the book is that "Regret is what we should fear the most ", because all the regret you have inside of you will someday kill you. This book also taught me that tough love is the way to show how much our parents care to show there child what's the system.

From what I read in Born a crime, Trevor Noah, has very specific details of his childhood experiences to adulthood. His writing style is different because he does not use the typical 'beginning, middle, end' format, he uses a chronological format. in section 1, he uses words like Volkswagen to describe his abusive stepfather. "If it hadn’t been for the Volkswagen that didn’t work, we never would have looked for the mechanic who became the husband who became the stepfather who became the man who tortured us for years and put a bullet in the back of my mother’s head …” (Part 1, Section 1). The tone I would describe this section as outraged because his stepfather was a bad father figure to Trevor. in the end Trevor is a better man than his father and stepfather.
