Now let's watch the trailer of the movie

What is your impression of Starr and her father from watching the trailer?

The title

In this book you’ll find many references to Tupac, because Angie Thomas was inspired by Tupac, his lyrics and his way of life. 

The title of the book is the first reference to Tupac: The Hate U Give, or in short, THUG. 

How do you think Tupac's definition of T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. will be featured in the book?

Thug Life

In the U.S., the word thug has a history of being used by racist white people who specifically apply it to African American men to portray them as violent criminals. When used in this way, it is often thought to function as a substitute for a racist slur.

For this reason, some African Americans have reclaimed the word as a positive identifier. It is especially used in hip-hop, particularly in the phrase "thug life". One of the most famous rappers to use this term was Tupac Shakur (or 2Pac). The term was popular during the 1990s and the era called 'Gangsta Rap'.  You can read more about Tupac here:

Thug

Thug is a term for a violent, lawless person, especially a man.

The word was originally used in the 1800s as a name for members of a group of men in India said to be professional criminals and murderers.

Since then, thug has come to have a more general meaning similar to its more old-fashioned synonym ruffian. The act of behaving as a thug is known as thuggery. In this sense, thug often refers to someone who acts as a bully or is a professional and violent criminal, as in:

"The mafia sent hired thugs to intimidate store owners."

Thug has become a nickname, a badge of honour.

A fancy word for that is a 'sobriquet'

(In Dutch: 'geuzennaam')

Thug is a term for a violent, lawless person, especially a man. The word was originally used in the 1800s as a name for members of a group of men in India said to be professional criminals and murderers.
