In the book The Hate You Give" by Angie Thomas, pages 420–444 are about Starr, King, and Maverick,Hailey. They just got done protesting after the grand jury did not put the cop on trial for killing Kahlil. While Starr was protesting, looters started destroying all the shops in the neighborhood, including her dad’s shop. (419) This caused King to be arrested because the neighborhood teamed up blaming King for burning down Maverick's shop.
(Thomas 71) The fact that Starr has two personalities demonstrates that she cannot express herself when in school and cannot relate to her friends; this proves that her friends do not influence her and disproves Harris’s theory that, "peers trump parents” CITATION. On the other hand, Starr’s parents teach her many life lessons which eventually push her to get justice for Khalil (her friend who had a hairbrush ‘mistaken” for a gun). For example, when Starr and her father are talking about the oppression that African-Americans have experienced over the years, he points out,, "Drugs come from somewhere, and they’re destroying our community,... The [addicts] can’t get jobs unless they’re clean, and they can’t pay for rehab unless they got jobs.
Both individuals are seen as the outcasts. She shies away from Ringo fearing that her past may deter him. He acknowledges her past to her and states that he doesn’t care.

This act of empathy and courage inspires the mob to disperse, averting a potentially deadly situation. Even though she's a little girl, Scout's bravery and determination to stand up for what's right makes her a true
Starr’s family provides a strong foundation of love and support for her throughout the novel. For example, in Chapter 1, Maverick, Starr’s father, has a conversation with her about the importance of following certain rules during traffic stops with police. While Starr initially resists these “rules,” Maverick explains that they are
To begin with, “Little Rock 9” experienced hate because of the fact that they are black, or African American. For example, “They taunted the black students and sometimes kicked and hit them” (5). This proves that the “Little Rock 9” faced hate in the form of harassment because they would get kicked and hit. This demonstrates hate because they are treated unfairly for no good reason. They are physically and mentally abused for a the fact that they are different.
(O,Thomas,page 267). My final example of Starr using her voice within her neighbourhood is when at the end of the book Starr and lots of other people in the neighbourhood stood up against King and snitched on him for burning down Mavericks store and dealing. Doing this the whole community including Starr was able to take King down and overall make the neighbourhood a much better

The article “School of Hate” was written by Sabrina Rubin Erdely, who is an American Magazine writer who lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She has written many articles for the likes of Rolling stone, Gentleman’s Quarterly, and The New Yorker.

Her article gives both points of view from the kids being bullied, as well as from the religious conservatives who thought that nothing was wrong with the homophobic slurs that were being said to children and teenagers. One may disagree with the perspective of the religious conservatives.

Everyone in this world is in some way connected to a community.

A community, a complex term that often times elicits various feelings and definitions, generally implies that there are relationships between a group of people that share some common goals, values, the same geographical location, or, perhaps a way of life that reinforces one another. In a community, members choose to associate with, or connect to each other. However, it is only when we take a step back from the activities in our life’s, do we recognize reality and witness the social interactions that occur around us every day. The overarching purpose of this assignment was to go out into the community on two separate occasions to observe the social interactions- paying close attention to evidence of social networks, excluded or exclusive communities,
