In the Season 2 debut, Coach Bart and Mr. Fernando discuss the characters, themes, and motifs of Part I of Trevor Noah's memoir Born a Crime. The discussion is aimed at helping students identify key elements in the analysis of the novel as a coming of age narrative. We briefly discuss the genre of memoir and the structure of the episodic chapters, followed by in-depth discussions of the characters and themes at play in Noah's journey from childhood to adulthood.
