The Hate U Give

Let's take a look at the trailer of the movie based on the novel.

Introduction to The Hate U Give

Let's discuss two terms that play an important part in the story:

- Double consciousness is the internal conflict experienced by subordinated or colonized groups in an oppressive society.

- Code-switching is the practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of language in conversation.

Can you think of examples from the book that illustrate these terms?
