Starr spoke out for the change she wanted to see and  she worked to achieve it. My favorite quote from the book that relates to this theme is in chapter 14, it says, ”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?”. I think this is such a powerful statement  because it shows how you need to speak out for things that matter.  I think that the author did this because so many problems going on today are relating to this and  I think it is very admirable to speak out about the controversy of police brutality and  much needed justice.]]> 2018-08-24 13:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275135396 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275144118 "“It weren’t too loo long before I seen something in me, had changed. A bitter seed was planted inside of me. And I just didn’t feel so, accepting, anymore.” -Kathryn Stockett, The Help
-This quote from The Help relates to the theme of this book which is the power of words and standing up for your beliefs. After Starr saw Khalil got shot she realized how much police brutality impacts her. After she experienced it first hand, she realized she had to unlock the power of her voice and stand up for change instead of being complacent with the issue.

They have realized that the power of many voices together is almost unstoppable. ]]> 2018-08-24 14:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275151935 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275152750 The book starts with a girl named Starr who lives in Garden heights, but goes to school at a prestigious private school, and goes to a party and sees her childhood friends and  very close friend named  Khalil. Gunshots were fired at the party and they all ran out. She drove off with Khalil to go home. In the car they talked about Tupac as it was playing and his acronym “T.H.U.G L.I.F.E”. Khalil gets pulled over by officer one fifteen and when Khalil  opens the door to check  if Starr is okay because she was frozen in fear, he was shot three times. He died and Starr went home to her mom and her dad, who was in a gang and people took very seriously.  Starr goes and talks to the police and they later have a trial. They seemed to be attacking starr when she took the stand instead of trying to understand what  happened. They decided not to punish the officer who killed Khalil.  Starr goes on and leads protests and does a tv interview. Her friends at her private school  recognized her voice and they had conflicting views, probably because they had different perspectives. She gets in a physical fight with her best friend Hailey and her boyfriend wasn’t supportive. In one interview she snitched on a gang member and not soon after her dads shop was burned down.  Her family moved to a different area where she  was safer and Starr promised to never stop being a voice for justice. ]]> 2018-08-24 14:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275152750 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275153603 The Hate u Give is a book for younger readers about the issue of police brutality with underlying themes of finding your voice, injustice, belonging, and community. It was published in 2017 and opened as a #1 New York Times Best Seller and has won numerous awards. ]]> 2018-08-24 14:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275153603 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275157833 I think that this song has themes that can relate to the book. It is about coming together and creating hope in a dark place. That is exactly what Starr did when she led protests and voiced her truth. She was like a rose that grew in concrete. ]]> 2018-08-24 14:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275157833 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275226332 This painting is about Police Brutality protests and this relates to the book because Starr led the protests. The people in this painting are doing the same thing Starr led in the movie. ]]> 2018-08-24 18:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275226332 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275274612 This quote is from the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness". In the book,  Starr was being discouraged by older men that were involved in gangs to stop doing interviews on TV because they didn't want Heights to get exposure. Despite the threats, she persisted. ]]> 2018-08-24 21:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275274612 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275275904 Super Woman by Alicia Keys is a song about going beyond her assumed limitations. In The Hate u Give, Starr fights for justice in Khalil's death and surpasses everyone's presumptions of her when she had such a big role in the protests. ]]> 2018-08-24 21:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275275904 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275276934 When Starr's friends from her private school found out about her views on police brutality they didn't agree with her, they fought her and didn't want to be friends anymore. She could have backed down but she defended her views and beliefs even if it meant dealing with disapproval from people she cared about. ]]> 2018-08-24 21:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275276934 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275278054 To create a new standard for how police should treat every person fairly, Starr had to work to demolish but not forget the way they treated Khalil. ]]> 2018-08-24 21:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275278054 amanda_baker23 https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275278446 This quote from the book stuck out to me because it points out how words are more powerful than something physical and that they have such power because they can't be taken back which can be a good or bad thing. ]]> 2018-08-24 22:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_baker23/3gudh24fl2i2/wish/275278446
