Be aware and notice when something or someone doesn't seem right. Saying something about it may save lives. That's exactly what author Angie Thomas does in her novel "The Hate U Give." As a black woman, she sees and understands what isn't right with an American situation that affects us all, then says something, writes a story so well through the eyes of her main character Starr Carter. Starr also sees a tragedy and must be a witness to the event. Her family and neighborhood must cope with this tragedy and it's aftermath.
This novel shows the culture, language, and behavior of blacks and whites alike. Hate breeds hate; fear breeds fear. We need to see and understand when something isn't right and try to correct it.
