The Hate U Give	comment	The Hate U Give is a 2017 Young Adult novel by Angie Thomas.Starr hasn't seen her childhood crush in years. It's partly because her parents have sent her and her brother to a private school with mainly white kids, while eking out a living in Garden Heights. It's also because Khalil has been trying to take care of his ill grandmother. When Khalil drives Starr home after a disastrous party, a cop pulls them over and intimidates them. Starr is Forced to Watch when the cop guns down Khalil for asking if she's okay. The community is furious, especially when the media invokes Victim-Blaming and paints Khalil as a drug dealer. Starr has to decide if she can afford to stay quiet, while battling her trauma of witnessing Khalil die.A Film of the Book was released in October 2018, starring Amandla Stenberg as Starr and Anthony Mackie as King.Two companion books exist: On The Come Up, which takes place in Garden Heights a few months after the events of The Hate U Give but does not feature any major characters from it (save for a few unnamed mentions of Khalil and the riots), and Concrete Rose, which is about Maverick Carter in his senior year of high school.

The Hate U Give / int_15b09af9	type	Heelâ€“Face Door-Slam
The Hate U Give / int_15b09af9	comment	Heelâ€“Face Door-Slam: At the end of the novel, Hailey sends Starr a text saying she's sorry to hear about the court's decision, that Starr is upset with her, and she wants to be friends again. While this makes her a slightly better person, Starr notes that at no point did she actually acknowledge or apologize for her own mistake in being racist (neither to Starr or other cultures) and is still choosing to be blind to her own bigotry. Starr accepts that Hailey is likely never going to change and their friendship is more toxic than healthy, cutting her out of her life for good.

Starr responds by punching her in the face. Later, she apologises... but it's an apology for Starr being upset with her, not for anything she said about Khalil or her own racism, which she's still refusing to acknowledge.

However, Mr. Lewis openly badmouths him on TV, pointing out how awful King's presence is for the neighborhood, and basically daring King to come and get him. And oh, does King try. Starr dry snitches on him, during her TV interview. She doesn't name names, but everyone knows damn well who she means. Finally, Maverick does too, and is followed by the rest of the neighborhood, when King goes too far.

When Maverick's shop, one of the community staples, is set on fire, the community collectively snitches on the arsonist and they cheer Maverick and his family on while they are doing cleanup. Former community member Carlos and Maverick do this for DeVante's safety.

She argues that only you can decide if the gravity of the bad outweighs all the good in the relationship, and if it ever does, cut ties.

Khalil was also this to Starr, despite the two of them not being biologically related. It's implied that part of the reason he got shot was because he was looking out for her. In the movie, Starr shields her little brother, Sekani, when some cops draw their guns on him. This was happening as Sekani is pulling out a gun in defense of his father from Kingâ€™s wrath.

Brickz was named such because according to Maverick "he's always been as heavy as some bricks". Starr's narration remarks whoever named him pretty much destined "King" to end up in the King Lords gang.

However, King's chief concern is keeping the spotlight off his drugs racket, rather than any sentiment towards Khalil.

It humbles Maverick enough that the two of them sit down and work out their differences afterwards. At the novel's climax, Starr gives one to the entire freaking police force, calling them out on their institutional racism and informing them that, until things change, people won't quiet down.

Maverick accuses Carlos of this, due to being a cop and living out in the suburbs. He gets over it, and realizes that this kind of thinking does more harm than good. Humorously inverted with Chris, who's white and rich, but has what Starr and the others consider to be a "black" sense of style and taste in entertainment. In one scene, Starr, Seven, Kenya, and DeVante all teasingly claim Chris is "really" black, though he does say something from time to time that makes his background clear (see Let's Split Up, Gang! for the most obvious case of this).

Starr, though she does not suffer fools gladly, is a kindhearted and loving girl.

The Hate U Give / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Starr's favorite show is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. In fact, she met Chris when he told her the first Aunt Viv was the best Aunt Viv, and the theme tune became their song. Given that Starr was put into an upper-class high school after witnessing a friend getting shot, she can relate to Will's situation. As a child, she was also a fan of Harry Potter. For his part, Maverick maintains that the whole thing is an allegory for gang violence. Maya is a fan of Adventure Time, and has a Finn plushie in her room. Starr sarcastically comments that DeVante's become cooler than Spider-Man to Sekani. Bob's Burgers is briefly seen on a TV.

Starr is starting to get fed up with Hailey's racism and their friend Maya agrees and points out that freshman year, Hailey asked if Maya, who is Chinese, ate a cat for Thanksgiving. This was after revealing that her grandparents were visiting from China and got to celebrate Thanksgiving for the first time. When they point this out to Hailey, she refuses to take accountability because it was all a joke to her.

The Hate U Give / int_d013cd12	comment	Lovable Rogue: DeVante is a drug dealer and a gang member, but he's sympathetic, funny, and plucky enough that it's hard not to like him. He genuinely wants out of the criminal lifestyle, which helps. Subverted by King. He seems pretty amiable at first, despite being a drug lord, but his true colors slowly get revealed throughout the novel. By the end, he's not lovable at all.

The Hate U Give / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: Kenya calls Starr out for not speaking out about Khalil's death more publicly. Starr agrees with her, but it's clear that it's a complicated situation — people who speak out against police brutality often get death threats, and Starr is sixteen. Mr Lewis calls Maverick out for still being on good terms with King, despite knowing how brutal the gangster is, and teaching his children to stay out of gangs' business and not snitch. While breaking these rules in a gang-run neighborhood is still a dangerous game to play, it's a factor in Mav deciding to snitch on King at the end.

Starr wonders why Hailey allows herself to be an angry feminist, but unfollows Starr because she posts about Black people getting killed based on racism on her Tumblr.

The Hate U Give / int_d9cf40fa	comment	In the movie, thereâ€™s a moment right as Maverick and Seven are being manhandled by a couple of cops, then one of them notice Start recording and order her to stop. She refuses and points out sheâ€™s within her right, then a bystander steps out of a restaurant to reveal sheâ€™s also recording and tells the cops to continue with their cruel treatment of Starrâ€™s family. One quick zoom-out reveals that everyone inside the restaurant are also recording the entire event, prompting the cops to leave the scene.

The Hate U Give / int_de15a322	type	Tangled Family Tree
The Hate U Give / int_de15a322	comment	Tangled Family Tree: Starr's family is a minor example. It's not too hard to remember, but Starr outright admits it can be confusing to the uninitiated. Basically — Starr and Sekani are the children of Lisa and Mav. Kenya is the daughter of Iesha and King (Kenya also has younger siblings who are Iesha's, but it's never specified if they're King's). Seven is the result of a one night stand between Iesha and Mav, making him Kenya, Starr, and Sekani's half-brother (this has the strange side effect of having Kenya and Starr being kind of related, but not really). In addition, Lisa, Seven's stepmother, essentially raised him as her own, and he considers her to be more his mother than Iesha.

The Hate U Give / int_de7b7cbf	type	Drugs Are Bad
The Hate U Give / int_de7b7cbf	comment	Drugs Are Bad: Played straight. Drugs ruined Ms. Brenda's life and made her an unfit mother to Khalil. Selling them then got him in more trouble. Maverick points out it's the drugs trade that's destroying Garden Heights and other black communities. However, it's also a Deconstructed Trope. The media reporting Khalil as a "suspected drug dealer", and then confirming it, is seen by some as a crossing of the Moral Event Horizon that justifies his death. This is despite the fact he was doing it to raise money to support his grandma, and was trying to "get out of the game" before he died. One character says out loud that the world's better off with one less drug-dealer, and the detectives who investigate Starr try to get her to confirm he was a dealer to make things easier for One-Fifteen.

Her mother tells her not to be disrespectful; regardless of what Khalil's mother did, she still gave birth to him. Seven calls out his mother for crashing his birthday party but not showing up to his graduation.

The Hate U Give / int_ff17ccf1	type	Innocently Insensitive
The Hate U Give / int_ff17ccf1	comment	Innocently Insensitive: Chris, at one point, asks why black parents often give their kids "weird" names. Starr and her friends point out to him that many of those names have deep meanings in other languages, and, more to the point, it's not like white parents don't give their kids ridiculous names, too. Chris admits they're right, and apologizes for phrasing the question the way he did. In another incident before the book started, he tried to nickname Starr "Caramel" after her skintone, meaning it as a cute pet name. Starr found it annoying and objectifying, and called him "Marshmallow" in response. He got the message and knocked it off. (In general, comparing someone's skintone to food is a no-no, as it's often used in a fetishistic context.) Subverted by Hailey. At first, her racist comments come off as a privileged white girl who doesn't know any better, but it becomes clear that she doesn't want to know any better. She gets extremely defensive whenever she's called out on being racist, insisting she's "just joking" and those offended are being too sensitive, and refuses to change.
