The Hate U Give

• Discuss the questions in small groups 2/3

• Write down the answers

• You can use your copy to find the answers

Discuss

• What is your first impression of Starr as a narrator? How does she describe her world, and how do you connect to her voice?

• What do we learn about Starr’s “two worlds” (Garden Heights vs. Williamson Prep)? How does she behave differently in each? Why?

• How would you describe Khalil based on the first 2 chapters? What kind of person is he?

• What do Starr’s parents (Lisa and Maverick) show us about family values in Garden Heights?

Discuss

• Why do you think Angie Thomas starts the story at the party? What does this scene show us about Starr’s community and the risks of living there?

Narrative/perspective

1st person perspective

Told by character, using pronouns like 'I' and 'we'

3rd person perspective

External narrator (sometimes omniscient)

different acces to information/character insight/reliability

Discuss

• How does the first-person perspective influence the way we experience the story? Would it feel different if it were written in third person?

• What tone or atmosphere do you notice in these opening chapters? Is it tense, funny, sad, normal? How does Angie Thomas create that feeling?

• What questions do you, as a reader, still have after reading these chapters? What are you curious to find out next?

How do they see the world around them?

 

Pink (Themes & Symbolism):
