The chapter is called, "Loopholes" because him and his mother, Ms. Noah always went back and forth disagreeing and agreeing for whatever. Also, he mentions how he was always naughty and continued to fight against the "system" just like his mother. Another main factor of this chapter, is that Trevor comes of age where he is expected to be more responsible for his Mother and life choices. Trevor and his mothers connection grow stronger as they are able to relate to things. The chapter ends with Trevor talking about trauma and how its good to feel it in the moment, then move on the next day.]]> 2022-03-05 00:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078753692 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078759326 "My relationship with my mom was like the relationship between a cop and a criminal in the movies--the relentless detective and the devious mastermind she's determined to catch." - (Noah 80)]]> 2022-03-05 00:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078759326 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078760257 "Our life turned into a courtroom drama with two lawyers constantly debating over loopholes and technicalities" -(Noah 82)]]> 2022-03-05 00:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078760257 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078761649 "The therapists did give me a series of tests, and they came to the conclusion that I was either going to make an excellent criminal or be very good at catching criminals, because I could always find loopholes in the law." -(Noah 86)]]> 2022-03-05 00:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078761649 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078763240 2022-03-05 00:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078763240 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078765109 2022-03-05 00:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078765109 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078766350 "He lived in a neighborhood called, "Orange Grove" in a white family's garage, which he'd turned into a cottage-type thing with a hot plate and a bed"-(Noah 88)]]> 2022-03-05 00:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078766350 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078769435 "Catholic school is similar to apartheid in that it's ruthlessly authoritarian, and its authority rests on a bunch of rules that don't make any sense"-(Noah 88)]]> 2022-03-05 00:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078769435 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078770784 "The door was locked, and before we could figure out how to get into the shed the whole thing caught--the mattress, the ladders, the paint, the turpentine, everything" -(Noah 89)]]> 2022-03-05 00:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078770784 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078774889 The main point of Chapter 6, "Loopholes", is Trevor learning more about himself, gaining better control, and strengthening his connection with his mother. According to Noah's childhood, they would write back and forth to each other due to her busy schedule at work. Not only, were they having conversations, but they were taking key points away from those conversations. To conclude, Trevor learned why his mother did certain things and his mother kept him in check.]]> 2022-03-05 00:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078774889 aukweli25 https://padlet.com/aukweli25/d9wppv64wmrt72m7/wish/2078780195 "Born a Crime" illustrates our essential questions: Who am I? How does my environment affect me?
Trevor didn't understand all things at his age, but he didn't need to because he either sought out to go behind the scenes or just ignore it. His mom told him that its fine to judge the system and ask questions, because the truth was most of it was B.S. A lot of the time, he didn't know why his mother did certain things, but he knew it was all for a reason. "My mother grew up with these rules and she questioned them. When they didn't hold up, she simply went around them." -(Noah 88)
