Thug: Reading log The Hate U Give, Chapter 6 What happend: Starr and Lisa arrived at the police station, where she got interrogated. She tells them everything but the officer tries to mislead starr. Lisa almost decides to bring Starr home, but Starr insists she wants to continue What I reacted most strongly to: When the Police officer asked Starr if she knew if Khalil sold narcotics, like they're making him look like he was killed for being a drug dealer?

Word, expression and phrases to remember: 'One-Fifteen killed him' Memorable quotes: You're nervous "Are y'all putting Khalil and Starr on trail or the cop who killed him"(p. 92, II.1-2) 6 My short Opinion: This book, especially this and chapter two, gives a strong example of police brutality on the Black community. This book gives one insight on the struggles of being black in a world full of ignorance, and inspires one to help make a change. #THUG- short Tweet Seeing someone die in real time really give you a different view of life. That's what's happening with Starr right now. Whether it will bring justice or not. There are circumstances where the testimony of certain individuals may not be enough to sustain a conviction. But Testimony is evidence, so she can be sure that she has done everything in her power to help Khalil get Justice. If she stays quiet, because she is to afraid to speak out, she's gonna blame herself for not acting against the injustice. It doesn't matter if anyone knows that she is a witness, it is even more impotant that she know she's fighting fot Justice.

The camera showas that the driver had to stop in the middle of the street. After that, the police officers went to the Impala in which two young African-American sat.

King Lords came over and attempt to claim khalil as King Lords. Ms. Rosalie declined that and Maverick ask them to leave. Ms Ofrah offers Starr to represent her. What I reacted most strongly to: The moment when Ms. Ofrah stood up and gave a speech about what happend to one-Fifteen after he shot khalil dead. I think that, that shows strength and Power.

(p.99, 11.3-4) while they were playing basketball. I was in shock because i personally thing that the comment was so racist How i feel about Starr: I know she has been gone through a lot of things but to say she cant handle his whiteness is just rude. Imagine someone would say something like that to a person of colour. These questions popped up while reading: Did Angie Thomas find the Statement of hailey racist oder not? Word, expression and phrases to remember: "mind your buisness Starr" Angry Memorable quotes: Weak My short Opinion: racist 7 News "You can say something racist and not be a racist!"

This Scene reflect reality and that hurts. Ascpect Starr and her mother both us a formal linguistic register Towrads the end of the interrogation Starr's mother uses slang words The officer's interrogation technique The officer's choice of words Examples "I choose every word carefully and make sure I pronounce them well.

They want to impose their perspective on the shooting They are not interested in finding incriminating evidence against One-Fifteen They want to impose thei perspective on the shooting They are apperently not really intrested in hearing her story.

Starr und her dad go to the store where kenya comes along and they were eating snacks. King, Kenya's father, comes along and had a conversation with Maverick. What I reacted most strongly to: When Starr could barely breath and thought "I can't breathe" it reminded me of the George Floyd case, back in 2020 where he was murdered by a police officer.

I always say: a good start = a good book WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING VOICE IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SILENT WHEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE? THE HATE U GIVE ANGIE THOMAS Thug: Reading log The Hate U Give, Chapter 4 What happend: Starr wakes up because of another nightmare and she hears a conversation between her parents and her uncleCarlos. She agreed to make a statement at the Police station. The Carters visit ms.Rosalie and they talked about Khalil, garden hights and Brenda. Maverick gives Khalil's family money to support them. What I reacted most strongly to: When Maverick said that if khalil's name were Richard they wouldn't had this conversation, because its true. -> White privilege How i feel about Starr: I was so proud of her that she wants to talk to the cops but on the other side i'm afraid that they gonna put words in her mouth.

I think we all wait for that one time though, that one time when it ends right." (p.56, II.26-28) My short Opinion: 4 I was a little annoyed with Carlos for trying to justify the incident, but it doesn't change the fact that this act was racially motivated. Starr's conflicted indentity Williamson mostly white kids; Only Starr and Ryan are Black -> White school; wear school uniforms; wealthy district; 45 min away from school ( in good days); in bad day 1 hour; has a cafeteria ; modern and well equipped Starr's friends: Maya: small, clumsy, playes basketball, boyfriend Ryan Hailey: White and rich; likes Luke, honey blond hair, I don't give a freak- girl; spent her vaccation on the bahamas Chris: "The fresh prince"= passion, basketball player, Starr's boyfriend, makes Starr feel like herself Example of how Starr speak and acts differently when she is in her school and not in Garden Heights -holds her tongue when people piss her off -> So nobody thinks she is the "angry black girl" -doesn't speak much, so people doesn't have agression to call her ghetto - She's not confrontational -No stank-eyes; No slang Starr goes to the Williamson Preparatory school. In the US colleges preparatory school are mostly private schools that demand school fees and have a good reputation. The prep school "prepare" students for higher educations (e.g. college) There is a reason why school quality and the composition of the student body differ greatly depending on the quarter the schools are situated in: school in the US are funded to a hug degree through "real estate transfer tex" (Grundsteuer) Therefore, school in areas with wealthier inhabitants are far bestter equipped than school in socially weaker areas like Garden Heights "Are y'all putting Khalil and Starr on trail or the cop who killed him" (p.92, II.1-2) What happens? -Starr talkes about the incident -Police tries to twist her words -Police only askes about khalil (if khalil ever sells drugs) and not about One- Fifteen BLACK IVES MATTER How does Starr experiences it ? -is overwelmed by emotions, annoyed about stupid questions -does not let it happen -Police manipulates her - puts her hand on the table -After the officer tries to puter words in her mouth -> She stopped crying SAY THE NAMES
