Born a crime

This title "It is Arpatheid" relates to the book's details of being born a crime in a way that Trevor Noah talked about his life in the apartheid era and also himself being born as a colored child which was a crime by then. This is revealed in his childhood where he lives the life of an outsider being discriminated against by both the blacks and the whites. This fortunately shaped his character in the future after Apartheid.

This book is the single most influential and impactful piece of literature ever. Words cannot describe the emotions that I felt from reading this book. "Born a crime" star Trevor Noah should quit comedy and work on literature full time.
Response to the quote:
"Abel wanted a traditional marriage with a traditional wife… but he never fell in love with subservient women… 'He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.'”
About the Quote “Abel wanted a traditional marriage with a traditional wife … but never fell in love with subservient women.. ‘He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage”. This is solely true because Abel was a transitional man from Tzaneen where girls were raised purposely to respect and bow down to men and expected to do specific work. For example they were to cook and do house chores and take care of children and their siblings. But truly this is not what Patricia was. Patricia was a hard working woman who used to freely move in towns, work in order to navigate on how to take care of her family and educate her child Trevor. Therefore Abel wanted someone he could rule for because Patricia was independent. This truly explains why the quote says “He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.” Most men like Abel want women to stay at home, cook, clean, manage his calendar, facilitate his business and manage family relationships and responsibilities. He expects her wife to shut up about his ways like verbal abuse, any time he disrespected and exploited her. This was manifested when Abel came back drunk and almost burnt the house but when Patricia tried to tell him, he just beat her up and also when he hit her with a bicycle because of condemning what he was doing. Such men want wives to be readily available, affectionate and supportive even after all the times he discouraged, pressured and created obstacles for her. This is evidenced when Abel shot Patricia narrowly surviving death after she left him and got another husband.Yeah These men are like exotic bird collector cause without doubt, they can't fall in love with independent women.
