This quote is Starr’s mother, Lisa, comforting her after an interview with the police as the witness.  Lisa can tell that her daughter is frustrated and worried that she has not done enough, or has done something wrong that will negatively impact their cause, and passes down a message from her childhood, which helps provide some solace.

This quote takes place shortly after Starr witnesses Khalil’s death.  At this moment, she is struggling with her personal fears versus her desire to speak out.  This is especially conflicted because she has always promised herself that if she was ever involved in an event like what has happened, she would be as active as possible in bringing justice.

The Hate U Give is a raw and riveting story that contains realistic characters, issues, and a powerful message about using our voices to make the world better.  The actual plot is engaging and is enhanced by real characters that are easy to empathize and connect with, which further deepens the impact of the story.  I also particularly enjoyed this story because it exposed me to a real lifestyle and perspective I did not have any experience with in a way that is very understandable.
