Hi, my name is Kevin Shen. I love music and food. I don't really have a specific band or genre of music that I like the most, I listen to most types of music.Next year I will be attending a culinary school in the hope that I can become a chef and potentially own a restaurant. I really like making cheesecake and other desserts and decorating them.
The book I choose to read is Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. I picked up this book because I have seen some of Trevor Noah's other work in comedy and on The Daily Show. I assume that's why most people choose this novel. Anyways, the book is about the complications of being born to a white father and black mother in the middle of apartheid. It was interesting how he started out with the Immorality Act detailing how the relationship between his father and mother was punishable by five years in prison. The book so far reads just like how The Daily Show goes, with jokes woven in between the important bits of information. I can't believe he had to go to church four times a week and three times on Sunday. Growing up, I never went to church so I can't really relate, but it sounds like a huge commitment. It sounds like Trevor grew up with a strict mother in a very constrictive environment where race and culture play an important role. I'm looking forward to what will happen next.
