I felt sad and angry that everything that happened in the first two chapters because of two things

1. Kenya's party

2. A dumb officer thinking that Khalil was holding a gun when it was a hair brush

If Starr didn't go to Kenya's party for Kenya and to back her up she would've been home and not be affected by the incident or possibly be effected by PTSD

Also the officer should have know better and not have shot Khalil based on superstition and racism. Now, after losing a friend and witnessing said friend being shot, Starr carter is more than likely to be effected by anxiety and PTSD from the whole night.

I feel that the situation that happened is sad. The reason i think this is because Starr could have stayed home that night but her friend Kenya had her come to the party where she didn't know anybody just to back her up in a fight. If she would have stayed home she wouldn't have been affected by the situation or see anything the happened.
