This was really helpful to remind me of what happened in the book, but I feel like it kinda sucks that they left out Starr's arc involving Hailee and Maya
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas Summary The Hate U Give is a powerful and timely novel that explores systemic racism, police brutality, and the power of activism. It follows Starr Carter, a 16-year-old Black girl who witnesses the fatal police shooting of her best friend, Khalil. Caught between two worlds-her poor, predominantly Black neighborhood and her affluent, mostly white private school-Starr must find her voice and decide how to stand up for justice. The novel’s title references Tupac Shakur’s philosophy of “THUG LIFE,” which stands for “The Hate U Give Little Infants F***s Everybody,” a theme central to the story. Story Structure 1.

Starr becomes the sole witness to the shooting, thrusting her into the spotlight and forcing her to confront the systemic racism and injustice that permeates her community. 3. Rising Action • The Aftermath: Khalil’s death sparks protests and media coverage, with conflicting narratives about his character. The police and media portray him as a gang member and drug dealer, while Starr grapples with the truth of who he really was. • Starr’s Internal Conflict: As the only witness, Starr wrestles with whether to speak out, fearing for her safety and the repercussions for her family. • Tensions at School: Starr’s white classmates treat Khalil’s death as a political issue, highlighting their privilege and ignorance. Hailey’s racism and Chris’s lack of understanding create friction in Starr’s relationships. • Community Dynamics: King pressures Starr to stay silent, fearing her testimony will expose his criminal activities. Meanwhile, Maverick’s strong principles clash with Lisa’s desire to move the family to a safer neighborhood. 4. Climax Protests and Starr’s Voice: After the grand jury decides not to indict the officer who killed Khalil, Starr joins a protest that turns violent. She climbs atop a police car, holding a megaphone, and publicly declares Khalil’s humanity and worth. This act symbolizes her decision to use her voice for justice. 5.

Starr and her family finally sever ties with King, and he is arrested, showing the power of collective action.

I am sorry but you can’t talk about black neighborhood
Garden heights : a predominantly black and URBAN neighbourhood. I don’t know if I’m right or if I’m being stupid but this is racist and I hate it
so having a black and SUBURBAN neighbourhood is not racist for some reason?
I’m dead I am eating FIERAS while watching this 😂 😂 😂 but this is sad the justice system is broken
