Besides religion and education, humor plays a central role to ease Noah's suffering. Ironically humor isn't a direct theme in his biography but it plays a central role in how he manages to face obstacles. Noah’s sense of humor is rather tongue-in-cheek. This type of humor goes a long way in diffusing the negative effects of apartheid South Africa and racial intolerance. Both mother and son use humor through witty conversations they have around serious subjects. Humor certainly softens the blow of struggling simply to survive.

Do you think humor helped Trevor or patricia to maintain good relation with others?
