The audience for “The Hate U Give” and “The Talk” stretches larger than just the immediacy of African American readers. If we are to actively read, we must find out how we connect to literature and activate our prior knowledge and experiences. How do you connect to this book? sullivank17 https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704693697 2021-08-30 14:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704693697 2. Obviously, racism and police brutality are major thematic subjects in this book. What other, not-so-obvious themes are contained within the novel? Write down the thematic subject and the theme. (What the novel is trying to teach us about the thematic subject) sullivank17 https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704693841 2021-08-30 14:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704693841 3. As a follow up to the question above, what do you believe Angie Thomas is trying to communicate to her readers? Is it the same regardless or race or does she explore multiple themes? sullivank17 https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704693984 2021-08-30 14:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704693984 4.What important “talks” were you given as a child? sullivank17 https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704694163 2021-08-30 14:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704694163 5. Based on the article and video, explain in your own words why black parents feel it is important to have this talk with their kids. sullivank17 https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704694408 2021-08-30 14:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1704694408 bridget, christina, maeve, carina https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1705087757 1) We connect to The Hate You Give because we have seen first hand and racial injustice in the world around us. We have seen it especially throughout our high school experience as we are getting older and seeing these injustices more and more. 

2.) maturing- seeing things more clearly and learning and understanding harder things in the world 
grief- dealing with hard things that happen even when we don't know how to 

3.) I think Thomas is trying to communicate to her readers that it is not the same. She shows this by adding Chris in and we see how he reacts to the riots. These things seem normal to Starr and her family but seem so unusual to Chris, Hayley, etc. 

4.) Stranger danger, look both ways when you cross the road, don't do drugs and drink, don't drink and drive.

5.) I think that black parents think that it is important to have these talks with their children because they know that there is a chance that they will be stopped by the police and that an injustice may occur to them, so they need to make sure that they are prepared and know what they need to do to stay safe in these kinds of situations. ]]> 2021-08-30 17:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1705087757 Maria, Carly, Kaylee https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1705096731 1. We relate to the book and the talk because we all got our different versions of the talk. like not going to strangers house or not taking candy or anything from anyone. 

2. In the book it also covers gang violence and drug deals. Like how king attempted to kill starr and seven, and sold drugs. 

3. We think she also is trying to communicate that peoples different point of views that the riots are not for. Like chris and Starrs williamsons friends. 

4. We were given the talk about stranger danger, be safe in public, no drugs/ drinking. 

5. We think its more important for them to have the talk with their kids because society's views on them and what to do if they get caught in a problem and need to know how to act.

The sad thing about the system is that we as caucasian people can't relate to the things that are happening to the african american individuals in THUG and "The Talk".      
2. Another big theme in THUG is to not associate with toxic people as Starr has a conflict throughout the book about whether
or not to be friends with Hailey.
3. By associating with a racist person like Hailey, Starr is betraying herself. White people don't experience the same problem because they don't experience racism. 
4. We were given the sex talk, drug talk, and stranger danger.
5. They feel it is important to give this talk to their kids because they are the primary victims of police brutality and white people aren't viewed as dangerous by default.]]> 2021-08-30 18:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1705100289 Norah, Porter, Tia, Nadine. https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1705101114 1. We're all in high school, same age group going through the same high school-related issues.
2. The thematic subject and theme is how people treat each other differently depending on the situation and the person's race and how the situation can escalate because of their ethnicity. The thematic subject talks how racism effects their relationships in the book.
3. There is more than one problem when it comes to racism. She explores multiple themes and aspects of racism that affect things other than her school life in the book.
4. We all had talks about our religions and our safety.
5. It's important that black parents have this talk with their kids because this talk can save their lives in the future, they could also benefit from being cautious. ]]> 2021-08-30 18:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sullivank17/u9desc0124s1sqiq/wish/1705101114
