Write a letter to Trevor Noah. Describe how you felt when you read about his childhood, and ask him five questions about parts of the text you want to hear more about.

Dear Trevor Noah.

I decided to write this letter after reading his account of his birth and youth. I was impressed with his story and his overcoming, which gave me a lot of inspiration in my own life and gave me a certain willpower not only to improve my life, but also to have a better relationship with my mother . I confess that I somewhat envy the relationship you have with yours.

Speaking of your mother, I was impressed with her every decision and courage and I would like to know, how did she deal with the fact of having a child raised between her and a white man, since that was forbidden?

In addition, I have other questions. I wonder if you have any kind of relationship with your paternal family? Do you have your father's nationality and citizenship? Did you suffer any punishment in your mother's country for being a mixed-race child? Do you think that if you had been raised with your father, your life would be different?

I know there are a lot of questions, but I found your story very intriguing and interesting and I try that you don't mind my questioning.

Sincerely

M.J

mine is hell,we all hate each other,we fight but me and my mom,dad,and siblings get along.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
