    Born a Crime is a memoir by Trevor Noah about growing up in South Africa under apartheid. It describes his challenging childhood as the son of a black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss-German father at a time when interracial relationships were illegal. The documentary provides context about apartheid and key figures like Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko who fought against it. As the memoir progresses, Noah shares stories from his youth that illustrate the absurdities and dangers of growing up in a mixed-race family during this time period in South African history.

    Defining Satire

    Satire is a literary genre that employs humor when making commentary on


    individuals or activities and their perceived vices, shortcomings, or mistakes. In satire,
    humor is used to underscore an opinion or point about an issue or event. Most often,
    satirists use wit to criticize or attack something of which they disapprove. Parody (or
    spoofs), sarcasm, exaggeration, and analogy are defining literary tools of satire that
    help create its humorous tone.
