1. Some not so obvious themes could be oppressed vs oppressed and selfishness.
2. As a child I got don't open the door, never leave alone after dark, and stranger danger talks.
3. I think black parents feel it's important to have these talks because they are scared that someone racist and dangerous could deem their child a threat and they want to prevent any harm as much as possible.
4. This book is very hard to relate to for me. I don't experience any problems as harsh as in the book.
5. Thomas definitely explores multiple themes. I think Thomas is trying to show a real life perspective on how it is to black and the stereotypes surrounding the skin or place someone was born.

Question 1.   The parents want their children to be safe and they want them to act the right way when they encounter the police.
2.  I understand how the parents want their children to be safe and how we can make a difference.
3.  We were given the stranger danger talk, fire safety talk, and internet safety talk.
4.  Not so obvious themes are the importance of family, dealing with grief, and and the troubles within friendships.
5.  Angie Thomas explores multiple themes regardless of race that everyone can relate too.

A theme in the book is to always be yourself instead of trying to be someone you're not. Starr had multiple ways she acted in front of different people, and throughout the book she learned to be able to say her opinion and share all sides of her to the people around her.
