Stranger Than Fiction.

In Born A Crime, there is a character called Trevor Noah. And he fights for power while explaning the history in the book. One central idea or theme in the book Born A Crime, is that race or identity does not shape how you are treated in society. For example, in chapter 13, it said that the police wanted to shut down the music that Trevor was making, so he was shutting it down. But the police didn’t care due to his color and where the police is white. Therefore, Trevor feels pressured and thinks that white people should treat other colored people the same. In addition to being treated fairly, there is also people using education and religions to fight through racists.

The idea of humanism allows us to make our own life choices and be treated fairly, under the rule of law.

We should treat others fairly and respect their own beliefs and values.

Q1 Reading Reflection

So far I am reading Ball Don’t Lie on my couch in my room and I am reading this book because I am doing this for my book talk. I usually read at night before bed. A goal that I will read 1 book each week and read another book next week.

My Side Of The Story

 

The main problem is that the character in the story feels that he wishes to have justice due to his brother and father not treating him fairly and not considering his perspective. In the first paragraph, it showed that his brother bullied him and did not consider his perspective that he needed to practice his signatures. The main character’s reaction was that he was outraged in paragraph 3, first page. In the second and third page of the story, it described the father is not caring about little problems, which means he does not care about his brother bullying him. He is not considering his sons perspective by telling him that he didn’t care about skip (The older brother) putting scotch tape on his head. To prove that he added extra pain by pulling it of his head harshly and hitting him when the father only cared about his manners when he entered the room to find his mom when he found his dad. This is also on pg. 3-4. To sum up everything together, his father only wanted manners, not caring that he has been bullied by his brother. Additionally, his brother only wanted to play and did not care that his little brother needed to practice his signatures. This is shown throughout the whole story.
