The Hate U Give

Today, we're going to take a look at chapters 8 up until 15 together.

Chapter 8: How does Khalil's funeral make Starr feel?

Chapter 8: How is Khalil being portrayed by the media? How might it affect the pursuit of justice for his murder?

Chapter 9: What happens the night of Khalil's funeral?

Chapter 9

Starr blames herself for the police's inaction and the riots in her neighbourhood. 

Starr's mother tells her: "Sometimes you can do everything right and things still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right." 

Do you agree?

'Justice for Khalil'

There's a big group text with about a hundred names on it. Hailey's older brother, Remy, sent out the first message.

Protesting today @ 1st period.

Then curly-haird, dimpled Luke replied:

Hell yeah. Free day. I'm game.

And then Remy came back with:

That's the point, dumbass.

It's like somebody hit a pause button on my heart. "They're protesting for Khalil?"

"Yeah," Hailey says, all giddy and shit. "Perfect timing too. I so did not study for that English exam. This is, like, the first time Remy actually came up with a good idea to get out of class. I mean, it's kinda messed up that we're protesting a drug dealer's death, but -"

Chapter 11 - 13: How does Starr's view of the protests at school differ from her friends'? How do Starr's emotions affect the image she tried to uphold?

Interview with 1-15's dad

"My son loves working in the neighborhood," One-Fifteen's father claims. "He always wanted to make a difference in the lives there." (...)

"Apparently, Brian (One-Fifteen) pulled the kid over 'cause he had a broken taillight and was speeding."

Khalil wasn't speeding.

"He told me, 'Pop, soon as I pulled him over, I had a bad feeling,'" says One-Fifteen Sr.

"Why is that?" the interviewer asks.

"He said the kid and his friend immediately started cursing him out -"

We never cursed.

"And they kept glancing at each other, like they were up to something, Brian says that's when he got scared, 'cause they could've taken him down if they teamed up."
