Chapter 3

'They finally put a sheet over Khalil. He can't breathe under it. 

I can't breathe.

I can't.

Breathe.

                                                                                                              p. 29/30

I can't breath
What do you associate this with?

I can't breath

To understand THUG, it helps to know something about the novel's societal context, have background knowledge about police brutality, systemic racism, #BLM and so on. 

To this aim, you are going to watch two videos. While watching take notes: What happened to whom? 

What consequences did this have?

(WHO,WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHy, NOW WHAT)

"I can't breathe" is a slogan associated with the Black Lives Matter movement in The United States of America.

This phrase originates from Eric Garner.
Later George Floyd said the same.

They both said this at the same point in their lives: the end.

''Black Jesus hangs from the cross in a painting on the hallway wall, and Malcolm X holds a shothun in a photograph next to him. Nana still complains about those pictures hanging next to each other.'"                                                                                         p. 33/34

We aren't Muslims. More like "Christlims." Momma became a member of Christ Temple Church when she was in Nana's belly. Daddy believes in Black Jesus but follows the Black Panthers' Ten-Point Program more than the Ten Commandments. He agrees with the Nation of Islam on some stuff, but he can't get over the fact that they may have killed Malcolm X.' p.34/35 "

What religions/activists does Starr mention? What do you know about them?

https:

What do these organisations/people tell you about the characters in THUG? What did you learn?

Why doesn't Starr tell her father about her boyfriend? What do you think about this?

'Besides the cop, I'm the only person who was there. And you've seen stuff like this. It ends up on national news. People get death threats, cops target them, all kinds of stuff.'                                                                                   p.38

'I've seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black, and all hell breaks loose. I've tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the whole world knew what went down.                                                                             p.38 

Now I am that person, and I'm too afraid to speak.'

What is Starr afraid of?

Listen to the following song. Answer the follwing question: why did the Fresh Prince move to Bel Air? 

Why did he move to Bell Air?

Page 39

I just wish I could be myself at Williamson like Will was himself in Bel-Air.

...

That's when I realized Williamson is one world and Garden Heights is another, and I have to keep them separate.

What happened to make her realize that?

I wanna stay home and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, my favourite show ever..(...)..but it's also like seeing parts of my life on screen.

I even relate to the theme song. A couple of gang members who were up to no good made trouble in my neighbourhood and killed Natasha.

My parents got scared, and although they didn't send me to my aunt and uncle in a rich neighbourhood, they sent me to a bougie private school.
