Answer:

Frederick Douglass and Trevor Noah used their personal memoirs to give an insight into how life was like for them to be alive, fighting for their freedom and securing their life. Their personal stories make it easy to relate to the very same people who were used to being discriminated against or subjugated.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was an African American man born into slavery. He was passed on from one master to another, during the course of which he also learned to read and write. Later on, he escaped and bought his own freedom, then became an abolitionist to help his fellow African-American people from the clutches of slavery. His book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave" details his life of being a slave and how he escaped and became free.

Trevor Noah, a comedian is a mixed-race child, born of a black woman and a white man during the Apartheid in South Africa. The government had criminalized mixed-race births, thus making his birth a crime. So, his book "Born A Crime" gives a glimpse of what it was like for him and his mother to survive the system that is against them.

Both Frederick Douglass and Trevor Noah wrote about their life experiences during the very system that is against their existence. Their personal narration about the events and their struggles gave the readers an idea of how it was like to try to find safety and freedom in a land that works to diminish and destroy them. Their books make it easy for people with similar experiences to relate to and gave them encouragement in their struggles.  Both books tell a story of survival, perseverance and the will to overcome the obstacles.

Waverly's mother is a very proud and strong woman who tries to achieve recongnition through her dauther's accomplishments in chess and when Waverly gains national recognition her mother starts making Waverly's victories hers.

There is nothing wrong with a mother being proud of her daugther's triumphs, but in the case of Waverly her mother became obsessed with her daugther at the point of trying to live her life through Waverly. And the worring part is that all this was covered under the mask of love, Waverly's mother never meant any harm for her daughter, all the damaged she caused was disguised by love, and this is where the phrase "A parent’s love can be described as a double-edged sword, having the power to both defend and destroy a child" becomes valid, sometimes love can do more damage because when you see it you can not protect yourself, it is love in the end.
