A quick review...
The purpose of the following questions is to get your mind back into THUG mode...
Timeline: place these plot events in the correct order
Match the characters to the descriptions
Hailey: has a history of making racially insensitive comments to her friends; expresses sympathy for "One-Fifteen".
Uncle Carlos: punches "One-Fifteen" in the face.
Chris: makes Starr laugh by reciting the Fresh Prince theme rap; is unaware of Starr's involvement as a witness to Khalil's death.
Mr. Lewis: openly accuses King during a televised interview.
Maya: connects with Starr over the fact that she has also experienced racism.
Ms. Rosalie: Khalil's grandmother, who is now struggling with illness.
April Offrah: leads the Just Us for Justice campaign.
Characterization

Round characters:
Static characters:
Dynamic characters:
Characterization
Flat characters: have very few defining characteristics
Round characters: have multiple, sometimes conflicting characteristics; are complex, developed individuals.
Static characters: remain the same throughout the text.
Dynamic characters: change / develop / grow throughout the text.
Choose ONE of the following characters and give examples to show how they can be seen as a dynamic character:
Uncle Carlos
Mr. Lewis
Characterization
Remember "indirect" characterization: we get clues about how characters are developing without being directly told.
"I know you were eavedropping, Starr. Don't act brand-new."
I smirk. Uncle Carlos said "brand-new."
