Book Summary: The Hate You Give By Angie Thomas

240 Words1 Pages
This summer for the required reading book I chose “The Hate You Give” by Angie Thomas, which of course took me awhile to get into as it is with all books I read. I became drawn to the book after Khalil, one of the main characters, got shot in his car with Starr, the other main character in the book, by cop one-fifteen. This book tackles some very tough subjects, that are sadly very prominent issues in our divided society today, such as, racism, prejudice, and fighting to get equal treatment and justice for all. I connected to this book multiple in different ways, I myself have experienced anti-Semitism, prejudice, and not getting equal treatment because I am a girl. This book really digs deep into these issues and presents them in a new light.
