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.

- Coming of age 

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

“Hustle! Pretend the ball is some fried chicken. 

Bet you'll stay on it then.”​​​​

• Hailey 
• Starr
• This quote further evidences Hailey’s racism, her ignorance of her own prejudice, and her refusal to examine the ways in which she contributes to oppression.
• The fact that she is friends with Starr makes the moment all the more infuriating and painful, as knowing Starr has not precluded Hailey from harboring reductive and offensive stereotypes about people of color.
• Code-switching - Starr has two versions, and the impact of Khalil's death makes her think about how she behaves at Williamson Prep and how the white students see her.

"When the Khalils get arrested for selling drugs, they either spend most of their life in prison, another billion-dollar

industry, or they have a hard time getting a real job and probably start selling drugs again. That’s the hate they’re giving us, baby, a system designed against us. That’s ‘Thug Life.’"

• Maverick
• Starr
• Maverick pushes Starr to explain exactly what Tupac meant and how this connects to life in Garden Heights, exemplifying his commitment to activism and to helping his daughter understand the specific issues facing black communities. He goes on to explain how Garden Heights and neighborhoods like it become trapped in a cycle of poverty and crime

"That's the so-called gun,” Ms. Ofrah explains. “Officer Cruise claims he saw it in the car door, and he assumed

Khalil was reaching for it. The handle was thick enough, black enough, for him to assume it was a gun.”

“And Khalil was black enough,” Daddy adds."

• Ms Ofrah
• Starr, Maverick
• While sitting in the Just Us for Justice Office, Starr expresses concern about answering the District Attorney’s questions regarding Khalil’s death. For one thing, she says, she does not actually know whether or not he had a gun in the car. In the riots following the indictment verdict, Starr notably joins in a chant of “a hairbrush is not a gun.”

that it becomes okay to them 

and normal for us.

What’s the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in

those moments you shouldn't be?"

• Starr
• Internal monologue
• After Starr confronts Hailey for her racist comments at Maya’s house, Hailey refuses to apologize and storms out.  Starr has since learned that avoiding confrontation is no reason to let people get away with racist comments, and that such comments, however small, contribute to a more prejudiced society.
• Immediately after it, she and Maya form a “minority alliance” to call Hailey out for her racism.

who you hurt or if you'll get hurt.

So I throw one more blow, 

right at One-Fifteen.

“I’d ask him if he wished he shot me too.”"

• Starr
• Diane Carey
• Moments earlier, she revealed that One-Fifteen pointed his gun at her after killing Khalil, effectively refuting claims that he acted out of fear for his life and shattering the image of him as a noble officer doing his duty. 
• Starr considers this final line to be her strongest blow yet, as she basically tells One-Fifteen he cannot silence her.
