Noah begins his book with an anecdote from his childhood when his mother threw him out of a moving car. Noah must have included this anecdote in his narrative to show his religious upbringing by his mother.

Explanation:

'Born A Crime' is a memoir of Trevor Noah. The account is the comedian's funny memoir and also sheds light on his childhood life in South Africa under apartheid.

He begins his narrative with an anecdote from his childhood when he was nine years old and thrown out of the moving car by his mother. Noah's mother was a very pious religious lady, who attended three churches on Sunday which would mean nine hours of time slot spend in attending Sunday services. Noah narrates an account of one Sunday, when their secondhand car broke down and would not start.  Usually, for people, car break down would mean staying back at home but for Noah's mother, it meant that the devil is stopping them and therefore, they shoudl go. That day they decided to travel through minibus to attend church service.

This anecdote reveals the religious upbringing of Noah by his mother. Other fact that is revealed through this incident is the absurdity of accepting Christianity by Africans. During apartheid, white men preached Christianity to Africans saying that Jesus can save them, and the saving they needed was from white men only.
