" Ain't this some shit? Not even five minutes ago, I was stuck up because I go to Williamson. Now I'm lucky? ' Trust me, my school has hoes too. Hoedom is universal.'"

This quote shows how Starr is constantly being picked on or teased by her Garden Heights friends for going to a private school making her seem stuck up.

" “Dammit, Starr!” Hailey yells, recovering the ball. She passes it to me. “Hustle! Pretend the ball is some fried chicken. Bet you’ll stay on it then.” What. The. Actual. Fuck? The world surges forward without me. I hold the ball and stare at Hailey as she jogs away, blue-streaked hair bouncing behind her. I can’t believe she said . . . She couldn’t have. No way. The ball falls out my hands. I walk off the court. I’m breathing hard, and my eyes burn."

This quote shows how one of her teammates said something racist to her and how she reacted.

Its a good example that shows how the policies stop Star and her dad just because he was talking with someone and the cops knew that Star was with Khalil

" And listening to Taylor Swift," Bianca adds, talking around her thumb. Okay, that's somewhat true, but I'm not telling them that."

This shows how Starr is different in her communities because she needs to lie for them not to know its true and she can't be honest.

The drug dealer. That's how they see him. It doesn't matter that he's suspected of doing it. Drug Dealer is louder than suspected ever will be.

This shows how he is from garden heights they already think he is a drug dealer and a bad person\.

"It's weird talking to them about Garden Heights. We never do. I'm always afraid one of them will call it 'the ghetto' "

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD ONE PG 357

I should be used to my two worlds colliding, but I never know which Starr I should be. I can use some slang, but no too much slang, come attitude, but not too much attitude, so I am not a "sassy black girl". I have to watch what I say and how I say it, but I can't sound white"
