1. Two comedians come to mind, Nate Bargatze and Shane Gillis. Which is funny because they have completely different types of comedy. Nate Bargatze is family friendly, all clean acts, never swears, etc. Yet, he still finds his way to make his acts hilarious and relatable. While Shane Gillis is more of the dark humor, inappropriate, may not want to watch with your parent type. I enjoy his acts because I am someone who can handle dark humor, and he tends to laugh at his own jokes which makes it even better. Both of these comedians have appeared on SNL and both have great acting skits as well. Comedy is important in our world because it gives us the opportunity to laugh with all of the hard times we are going through as a community. It gives us a break to forget everything and watch something that brings you happiness. While this may not work for everyone, sometimes it helps to laugh about events that are going on currently.
2. Trevor Noah claims that the "genius of apartheid" is "convincing people to turn on each other." Xhosas and the Zulu tribes different in that the Zulus were brave and fought and fought, even though they were being killed by the thousands. Nothing stopped them, they would always keep on fighting. While the Xhosa's were more thinkers and thought of other ways to fight instead of going straight to war. They found alternatives and other ways to go about business. My guess is that Trevor's birth was a crime because one of his parents was a Zulu and one of the was a Xhosas. Im also guessing that this would be a crime for adults of two different tribes to have a child or even a relationship together.
3. Religion is something very important to his mother, yet not as important to him. His mother takes her family to three different churches as each one satisfies a different need she seeks. Trevor enjoys going to the mixed and all white church because they are shorter and they have more fun at those ones. Trevor also gets tired of all the driving around due to them racing to each service, all over a half an hour away from their home. Trevor gets thrown out of the minibus because of the drivers, who are Zulu, got angry with Trevors mom for being Xhosa. Her mother felt threatened as they would not let her get off the bus when she requested, so she knew their only option was to jump out of the moving vehicle. When she told Trevor the plan, she was unaware he was asleep and did not hear what she said. So when the minibus slowed down to cross an intersection, she needed to push him out. Their relationship seems bipolar in a way. They do not see eye to eye on beliefs, she's very strict, they seem to argue a lot, yet they are close and loving with one another. After they all rolled out of the moving vehicle and walked to the police station, they shared a laugh. Trevor is upset at first due to his mom not waking him up, but he knows she just saved his life.
4. If I were to explain tacos to someone who has never had them, I would start off by telling them the amount of choices you have in creating them. There are numerous different types of meats, toppings, sauces, etc. that you are able to choose from. You are able to customize them just how you want them. What I look forward about is learning experiences that I am not familiar with, further educating myself in someone else's culture and beliefs. So far, I can relate Trevors relationship with his mother to me and my dad. My dad is also strict yet we still have a strong relationship. While it may not be super healthy at times, I know he loves me and does a lot for me.
