Final Meditations on Born A Crime

Hello friends. If you're like me, just finishing the book, it's thoroughly astounding to listen to the wonder and the grandeur of this book's conclusion. I also noticed some foreshadowing from the very beginning of the book, which I thought was very cool. Abel, first off-- what a horrific person, a terrible excuse of a man.  I really hope he at least learned his lesson. I think the real problem to be honest is that he didn't even have a lesson to learn. Which really kicks my tail. Lesson learned the easy way: Don't drink. Easy as that.

Anyways, this book was quite a trip. I have loved watching Trevor's work outside of this book as a comedian (although he is a little bit too political) and as the host of the Daily Show, which I think has to be one of the coolest things ever. It's also pretty wild that the man wrote a book about all of this too. I admire him for the drive and work ethic he has. This book has been a great shift for me personally, especially for the uplifting qualities that it possesess and the affirmation of the existence God at the end of the work. It was really good stuff.

See you in class tomorrow!

I commented on Ezrah and Austin's posts... but I will comment on another as soon as people actually post.

I, too, love the way Trevor’s life turned out and how he wrote a book that contrasts the current appearance of his life but also stands as a testimony of sorts. It’s really cool to see all of the things that happened in his past that helped to make Trevor into the incredibly successful man he is today. It’s even better that he doesn’t ever allow himself to forget what happened, because it’s a huge part of who he is and how he came to be who he is.

I am with you man. I really did enjoy reading this book and watching the way Trevor grew up and adapted to the culture and environment around him. I am also just glad to have a had a truly positive ending to a book this time. Seeing who Trevor turned out be and what he became really was inspiring.
