Hello guys, Adventure Van here with a blog about The Hate U Give. Written by Angie Thomas, this book is about many things. The divide between communities, gang violence, police violence, and performative against actual protesting. It's very well written in a manner that is short and concise while still creating and dealing with very emotional and raw topics. It is a serious book, centered around death and injustice, and it does not end with all the ends wrapped up. It follows Starr Carter, who has seen two of her childhood friends die in front of her, one to gang violence and the other by a police officer. The book goes on to tell about how gangs and the police work for people, and how it changes drastically for those more privileged. It goes on with other side topics that are still very important like domestic abuse, mixed relationships, and the use of social media and the power of witnessing. Especially right now, because the current movement is still ongoing and will likely always be, it is a vastly important read that should not be understated.
Adventure Van, out.
