Born a Crime

1. The essential points Trevor Noah makes is that people aren't communicating like they should anymore and are living through their phones. He also points out that people aren't living in the moment anymore and feel the need to capture everything with their phones. I agree because I think phones have made people obsessed with capturing and documenting everything rather than just enjoying the moment.
2. Trever describes moments in this chapter that illustrates this like when his mother pretended like she wasn't his mother to the cashier because he kept nagging her about the toffee apple or the whole thing with the letters. 
3. Fufi was his first heartbreak because he felt betrayed by her for loving the other boy. I did not have any pets growing up.

Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime

 1.  I don't really know anything about comedians so I couldn't tell you who my favorite comedian is. I think that comedy helps people cope through hard times and lightens their mood. 

2. Apartheid's divides people, those of the different or even the same racial group, to keep them from going against the system. The Xhosa and Zulu tribes have different languages and cultures. Trevor Noah's parents are of a different race and were in a relationship which was illegal under the apartheid. 

3.  Trevor Noah's mom threw him out of a moving vehicle to protect him from a dangerous situation. His mom's strong belief to her faith plays a big role in her decisions. His mother throwing him out of the car was tied to her belief in the power of prayer and spiritual intervention.

4. Taco's are one of the most delicious foods! The mix of so many flavors that work so well together is what makes it so good. What I find striking about Trevor's experience is that to him napkins mean diapers. I learn learning about the difference between someone else's experience and my own because it is intriguing.
