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.
