A theme is not all people of the same race are the same

starr, seven and DeVante are so funny testing chris like that about meals and he is not very good at it; seven, starr and the other characters are learning really learning that life as a black person is full of hardship and pain while chris and maya are learning the reality of the real world behind their lives but the lives of their black friends and classmates

he also hear starr confront seven sister also about he is both of there sisters and she says nothing about it and instead walks aways, what i think is that she finally thinks she has someone stable in her life and the only person she can count on and she doesnt want to share him.

big mac and lisa are really a good fit for each other because big mac is street smart and gives that tough love while lisa is sweet, book but also street smart and gives that more gentle love

I love how starr's parents still love and support each other because now of days couples don't marry for the same reasons as back in the day and they don't stay together as long as couples in the old days

Kenya is the type of person that don't really like to miss with starr's other friends at her school but when she gets to meet maya and chris she is cool with them

# data[].attributes.body
anyone would think DeVante would be a super good flirt by the way he acts sometimes but no his very bad at it

# data[].attributes.body
I am so proud of seven because he worked really hard to finish high school when he is trying to protect his little sisters from their abusive father and he still finishes making big mac really happy

# data[].attributes.body
devante is the opposite of hailey he was the kind of the enemy but now he is the friend that we neever thought we'd make.

# data[].attributes.body
seven is the sidekick because he is always backing starr up and supporting her distinctions and fighting her fights

# data[].attributes.body
Starr is hero because she makes character development thought the book and they realize they cant silence her.

# data[].attributes.body
starr's mother is a mentor and best friend because one, she birthed her and two, she has always been there for starr and will always be there for her no matter what because she is her mother and she takes her job as a mother very serious

Hailey and Starr get into a fight.

# data[].attributes.body
uncle carlos is starr's very close friend or family member because he is always there when starr needs him and he took care of her when big mac was in jail so they have a very close bond

# data[].attributes.body
Seven is a good brother for always being there for his sister when she needs it.

# data[].attributes.body
big mac is starr's mentor; not just because he is her father but because he teaches her what to do in situations when faced with a police officer and she gets her street smarts from him

# data[].attributes.body
hailey is a fake friend because she just adds more stress onto starr and she likes to act like she is the victims just so she doesn't have to say she is in the wrong

# data[].attributes.body
Hailey is such fake friend. She is racist and makes Mean and hurtful jokes.

# data[].attributes.body
maya is a true friend because she doesn't do anything to add more stress onto starr from what she is already dealing with and maya is there for starr even though she doesn't really understand what she is facing as a black person

# data[].attributes.body
Death is a big motif because it shows a theme which is that death can take a toll on many people.

# data[].attributes.body
Mav knows he has to move for his family to be safe

# data[].attributes.body
I think King is in the story to show minor charcters can impact the story alot.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems that Mav may not wanna move but he knows it is best for his family

# data[].attributes.body
Starr's father really is trying to make sure his kids are successful.

# data[].attributes.body
King is a impactful side character because we don’t even see him much but he such a threat to everyone life that even without dialogue his actions and the way people speak about him was enough to make him important

# data[].attributes.body
Through the story kahlil is a cause and effect, and the greatest side character and he doesn’t even get much dialogue

# data[].attributes.body
Starr gets a warning from king and this frightens everyone in the house, this shows how people’s actions can ruin everything

# data[].attributes.body
This proves that people change for people

# data[].attributes.body
As star sleeps many people get a change of heart the thugs look less threatening, uncle Carlos and her father get along and everyone seems peaceful.

# data[].attributes.body
big mac may not be too happy about them moving but he will do anything it takes for his kids to have the opportunities he didn't have and this is why he is really proud of seven for finishing high school and going to college

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Big Mav feels moving to Brook Hills will be safer for his family.

# data[].attributes.body
big mac was against moving because he thought that living in the suburbs made black people less black and real

# data[].attributes.body
The people in that Brook Hills place feel safe with their environment. The kids even leave their items outside.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one of the reasons why big mac didn't want to move was because most of the good neighborhoods were full of white people and like one black person or family so big mac wanted to be near the people who looked like him

# data[].attributes.body
I think Devante is put in the story to show how some people have too do stuff like drugs.

# data[].attributes.body
Another theme I learned from Starr is if you really want something, you will do anything for it.

# data[].attributes.body
A theme is your true friends will be there when times are rough.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr. Lewis helps with the plot because he helps Starr get the confidence to speak up.

# data[].attributes.body
mr. lewis is put into the story to make starr get the confident to speak out loud without fearing anybody.

# data[].attributes.body
and maya was put in the story to prove that starr's was blinded from the fact that she was ignorant, and they many people can be blinded from that fact.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Chris is in the story to show not all white people are no good in stories and some are good.

# data[].attributes.body
i think devante was put in the story to show starr how you can get pushed to the life of drugs and gang life

# data[].attributes.body
starr is finally not scared to speak up. She puts everything out there and even Threw a couple shots. This shows how determined she is to help people live better lives and stop police brutality

# data[].attributes.body
i think the author put chris in the story to show that not all white people are ignorant and white people are capable of trying to understand things.

# data[].attributes.body
big mac is a character who is loving, caring and kind but helps starr in being strong on the inside and out and not letting anyone use her for the wrong doings while giving her that tough love and information on the issues in the real world and how to deal with them; head strong and doing what is right for herself and her family

# data[].attributes.body
starr's mother is like every black good, loving mother who helps give starr that emotional support and caring figure

# data[].attributes.body
Ms. Ofrah is like a mentor top Starr when she is practicing With Starr after school.

# data[].attributes.body
DeVante is that character who acts like a tough guy but on the inside he is just a scared, kind teenager who misses his family and wants to do better like big mac

# data[].attributes.body
People that are always playful around Starr are really helpful because it takes Starr's mind off all the drama.

# data[].attributes.body
chris is a character who kind of makes starr think they are not meant for each other but like in her mind and even through he is a really good boyfriend who helps relax and not worry about what others think about their relationship

# data[].attributes.body
seven is a character that is their to support starr like a mother or father cant and give her a little freedom

# data[].attributes.body
sekani is such a playful character which I thinks helps get starr to enjoy her teenhood instead of always thinking of Khalil's death and the other issues in the world

# data[].attributes.body
Starr tries to show Hailey that 115 was in the wrong but she always thinks that she is right.

# data[].attributes.body
Starr thinks it is wrong that the kids at her school are using Khalil's death as a way to get out of school

# data[].attributes.body
Starr tries to show Hailey she's racist but Hailey doesn't listen

# data[].attributes.body
The family of Officer 115 tries to take his side even though he wrongfully shot Khalil

# data[].attributes.body
we see that hailey runs away from her problem which causes a big break

# data[].attributes.body
family is somthing to live for and to die for

# data[].attributes.body
a big motif is family, family means everything in the world

# data[].attributes.body
we find out that carllos stood hhis ground about the shooting and gave the cop a peice of his mind

# data[].attributes.body
People are showing so much hate towards 115

# data[].attributes.body
The mother or father is lying for 115 so he can go home

# data[].attributes.body
Hailey makes racist remarks but doesn't wanna apologize and thinks that she isn't really racist.

# data[].attributes.body
Starr wants Hailey to apologize about the fake protest

# data[].attributes.body
hailey is so mmm; she is racist and has a mixed up brained washed brain because the things she does speak louder than the things she says like not being racist but um she is, her actions proves it clearly

# data[].attributes.body
It seems that star is very harsh and cruel when it comes to racism ,after she shows hailey the emmet till picy

# data[].attributes.body
uncle carlos may be a police officer and has some a different way to react with the issues going on but he is ready to protect his family no matter what
