Born a Crime - Part II - Identity Shaped by Others

In episode 2, Coach Bart and Mr. Fernando delve into the world around Trevor as a formative influence on his adolescence. As Trevor moves through high school in South Africa, the pressures of fitting in with friends and trying to find a girlfriend are at the forefront of the narrative of Part II. As always, the specter of Apartheid pervades, along with the vacancy of masculinity in Trevor's life, and we watch him navigate a world that asks him to change to meet the social expectations within those spheres of influence. Coach Bart and Mr. Fernando wrap up the podcast with a brief overview of the Major Essay to be completed by the end of the unit and using the Timed Writing Assessment as a starting point for that Major Essay. Credits: the introductory song is "Wakanda" from the Black Panther (Original Score) - written by Ludwig Göransson ft. Baaba Maal (in remembrance of Chadwick Boseman); the exiting song is an instrumental version of the Pharcyde song "Passing my By" from their 1992 album Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde.
