Starr Carter is a teenage girl who goes to a white prep school and was accused of spending to much time with her "white" friends. So one night she decides to attend a party with her friend Kenya hosted by Big Mac. Suddenly gun shots are heard so Starr was evacuated from the scene because her old time friend Khalil decided it was unsafe. Starr and Khalil were pulled over after a police officer noticed a broken taillight. The police officer was quick to assume that Khalil had a gun so Khalil was shot to death.

“Once upon a time there was a hazel-eyed boy with dimples. I called him Khalil. The world called him a thug.
He lived, but not nearly long enough, and for the rest of my life I'll remember how he died.
Fairy tale? No. But I'm not giving up on a better ending.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give
“I wanted him to know that I saw him, a guy who, even with a tear-streaked face, seemed to have two tiny smiles framing his eyes like parentheses, a guy on the ground pantomiming his death to remind the world he was alive.”
― Jason Reynolds, All American Boys

“That's the problem. We let people say stuff, and they say it so much that it becomes okay to them and normal for us. What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give
“IF YOU ARE NEUTRAL IN SITUATIONS OF INJUSTICE, YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE SIDE OF THE OPPRESSOR.”

Khalil was shot by the police after being violently accused of being destructive although he was doing nothing but playing his music. Quinn was beat up extremely to the point of unconsciousness and being set in the hospital for extreme care. Both these boys have done nothing  to break the law but were both convicted of doing something beyond words to "police officers".

"The Hate U Give" is similar to "All American Boys" because both include the topic of police brutality against dark skinned people. Both Starr and Quinn witness their friends get treated unfairly after being falsely accused by the police.

The theme of "The Hate U Give" is centered around racism. Ever since her best friend was shot in front of her, the news about his death sparked the incline of racism around her. Starr soon notices all of the subtle racism that has always surrounded her.
