After reading The Hate U Give

Write a blog post where you share your impressions of the book. What did you like the most about it? Why?

Were there any parts of the book that were disturbing to you? Can you see how it has also been accused of representing black people as victims?

“We encourage Black audiences, all those who reject narratives that make Black victims of police violence responsible for their own deaths, and Tupac fans, to invest their dollars in Black film that uplifts and empowers Black communities. “The Hate U Give” is not that.” (film criticism in the Los Angeles Sentinel, October 18, 2018 https://lasentinel.net/why-the-hate-u-give-is-not-a-black-lives-matter-movie.html)

You can also use the discussion questions on the last chapters of the book posted on itslearning to find inspiration for your blog post.
