The Hate U Give and you will learn about literary terminology such as theme, setting and point of view.

But before we do...

What did you think of the story?

What does 'setting' mean?

What is the setting of this story?

What is a 'theme'?

What is the most important theme of the story according to you?

Does this story deal with issues that affect the whole world? How so?

First person point of view

Second person point of view

Third person point of view

I, me and myself in the narrative. 

E.g.: I was shocked to discover her secret.

You, your and yourself. 

E.g.: It was always you, the epitome of horror and deceit. You and your silly ways.

A more global view. Omniscient narrator. 

E.g.: She ran across the hallway. She almost slipped, and suddenly was forced to stand still. 

Through whose eyes do we see the events of the story?

Comparable? 

In groups discuss the following questions:

1. Could you explain the title?
   
2. Could you relate this story to any current events? Which one(s)? Do your research!
