The opposition was coming from both the local authorities, who take the side of the police officer and the King Lords gang, whom she angers in a television interview. In a courageous move, Starr testifies against the officer and speaks up for justice in the face of opposition. Starr is the sole witness to the unprovoked shooting of Khalil at the hands of a White police officer. Starr is smart, driven, and ashamed of her background in Garden Heights at the novel’s beginning.
Starr’s journey throughout the book is to learn to trust and embrace her authentic self as she becomes an activist seeking justice for her friend’s wrongful murder. This makes her live and move between two worlds – her neighborhood in Garden Heights and the white privilege of Williamson Prep. She and her siblings attend a majorly white, private prep school across town called Williamson Prep. Garden Heights, where she lives, is ridden with gang activity and drugs, and violence. Starr Carter is the sixteen-year-old protagonist of the book and lives in a poor, mostly black neighborhood. They were engaging and thought-provoking. They represent human desire, strength, and weakness. Angie Thomas’s characters in ‘ The Hate U Give’ are a fine mix of both good and bad. ‘ The Hate U Give‘ featured a lot of awesome characters who brought the story to life.
