3 Choices, 1 Identity

Reading Trevor Noah´s book made me realize I am not the only one that feels/felt torn between multiple cultures at a young age. He was brave enough to talk about everything in his life both good and bad. That’s inspiring. The way he talked about his family and friends and the effects they had on him shows how open and confident he is. It isn’t every day that you have an identity crisis at a young age so seeing Trevor talk about it made me less nervous to talk about it. My memoir explained in detail about a kid stuck between the lifestyles of the biggest influencers in their life. The kid (being me) is stuck and doesn’t know which lifestyle would look good on him from others’ perspectives. I go on to explain the lifestyles of each of the influences in my life and how they have already affected me. Then the story goes into realization on how others opinion arent the most important thing to life, it’s about what I do and if it makes me happy. That gives me the conclusion that life is about making sure what you do makes you happy. If you not happy with what you do then how can you enjoy life? Speaking of enjoyment, please enjoy the story.

This is a pretty interesting memoir and I like the way you were able to tie it to "Born A Crime" and how Trever deals with his split in identity and culture.

I like how you organized your story into theses small chapters and each one telling a story of a different person in your life and how they affected you.

I love this. Having to gain independence from the adults in your life and find yourself must've been hard. I'm glad you chose to live for yourself. It's something not a lot of people do due to society, family, etc. I can confirm that I definitely saw all of these identities in you when I was getting to know you.
