Trevor Noah- Born a Crime Chapter 7 Fufi


 Theme

You can not own the thing that you love


Summary

Trevor get to own the two dogs, Fufi and Panther. He adores the dog, but one day, he notices Fufi was missing and figures out the colored boy of his neighbor has stolen his dog. Trevor and his mom succeed taking Fufi back to their hands, but Trevor gets heartbroken at the fact that Fufi likes other boy. 


My Life

I totally agree that you do not own the thing that you love. Even if you love someone with your whole heart, that person is another individual. You need to respect them as an individual. The relationship will be broken immediately if someone tries to take to control over the other. One time I had this friend who tried to change my lifestyle to hers. Unhealthy relationship does not last long. "Understanding" or "Accepting" is not a proper word to use. You do not understand or accept a person. It is impossible to understand or accept that person. Just let them be themselves.

    I agree. People should just let others be themselves instead of trying to change them.

Week 1

 Summary     Trevor Noah, who was born as half-black and half-white in South Africa during the apartheid tells the memories of his childhood. Since interracial relationship was illegal during the apartheid, his existence  was considered illegal.  "Where most children are proof of their parents' love, I was the proof of their criminality."     He wasn't able to be with his mother in public places, because she was afraid of his lighter skin catching the police's eyes. Trevor was a living evidence of the crime scene. His mother always had to lie that his father was from "other country", and go through a tough time surrounded by a crowd pointing a finger at her.      Trevor and his family relied on religion a lot. Back at the times when the family found out the piece of Trevor's poop, they believed that there was a demon trying to bewitch the whole family.  My Story    Though I've never been in a segregation before, but I...

Week 2

 Theme People judge each other by the way they look on the outside. It is hard to change their stubborn perception. (Confirmation bias)  Summary Trevor got into the A class in a private school. He got to meet a lot of black kids in the school, but they all tiptoed around him just because of skin color. He doesn't belong anywhere; neither white nor black. Trevor and his mom needed to deal with the people pointing finger at them. Despite the circumstances, Trevor and his mom made their own way out of poverty and obstacles.  My Opinion Being allergic to schools, I don't talk very much at school as much I do outside of school. I don't put makeup on very often. I don't private clothes (*private clothes- something that is not school uniform ex. nike / it is illegal to wear something that is not a school uniform at school , but the cool kids wear it anyways) like the "cool kids" do. I only get along with a few friends. I don't care about my grades, but I always g...

Week 7

Chapter 14 Summary Tom, Trevor's friend introduced Trevor a beautiful girl named Bikini for the prom. Trevor was excited to go on a date with the "most beautiful girl" in the world, and spent time with her, looking forward taking her to the party. On the prom night, he figured out that she cannot speak English at all.  Theme Reputation does not mean everything.   My Story Now I don't really care about building a good reputation, or being a super star among friends. However, few years ago when I was in elementary school, I cared a lot about how I would look to others. I tried my best to be that kid everyone wants to hang out, and I also worried a lot about my relationships with the others. I needed to act like a performer on the stage. That was the hardest part. Being someone that is not me. Now I noticed that those reputations I built mean nothing since it was a forgery. Going to prom with the most beautiful girl in the world didn't mean anything to him since it w...
