On Trevor McKinney’s first day of his seventh grade year his social studies teacher, Eugene Simonet, assigned the whole class an assignment that would be something they would try to do during the whole year. The assignment was, “Think of an idea to change our World — and put it into action.” After being assigned the assignment Trevor knew what to do. He then came up with “pay-it-forwardism.” This is when one does a selfless act for three people, and then those people do the same for three more people

Born A Crime by Trevor Noah, is a compelling memoir allowing its readers insight into Noah’s daily life, under apartheid. Just like the title, Trevor Noah was born a crime.

Both authors distinguish Paul and Trevor’s families for considering themselves above others. Paul’s family “…felt themselves superior to anyone in the neighborhood” (Lawrence, 1933/2013, p. 174) and in "The Destructors” Trevor’s “… mother considered herself better than the neighbors” (Greene, 1954/n.d., p. 1).
