Book Review on ‘The Hate U Give’
Angie Thomas’s book The Hate U Give depicts how the police behaves in a savagely violent
way in America on one of today’s most fierce revolutions which is the Black Lives Matter
movement. The book is known as a Young Adult (YA) novel, which addresses to one of the
most tenacious evils of today’s human civilization which is the racial discrimination and
characterized behavior to one particular community (Thomas 2017). This novel mainly
speaks about a 16-year-old girl whose name is Starr who belong to a gang devastated area
which was mostly a black influenced area but she was going to a school which was resident
of the white dominated area. But she was an extraordinary girl as because she used to balance
both the areas very cleverly, that the racial discrimination issues had blurred out of her life.
But as life goes on it becomes very hard for Starr to be in the environment after she witnesses
a deadly shooting of one of her very close childhood friend Khalil, by a white police officer.
Later on when Starr was listening to the national new which was showing her friend’s murder
case, she found out that he was labeled in the news timeline as a dealer in drug, gangster and
a gangbuster. Khalil’s death was majorly justified by his friends and Starr and she was in
tremendous grief to find out that her best friend was one of the member of the dangerous drug
dealers in the region. The book The Hate U Give depicts the grief as well as the aggression
which is making the work of a young little girl very complex, besides the racism factor and
the black and white discrimination due to the adequacy of the police department (Walker
2017).
The tragedy of the death of Khalil brought tears to a neighborhood which was already
exploded by drugs and violence from the deeply established gangs. Starr’s father was also
one of the gang member who has also spend his life inn jails. King who was a gangster used
to run the neighborhood was putting Starr’s family in danger about the death of Khalil. The
tension, grief and prolonged quarrel running through the novel comes to an end with the
