From the expressions on the people's faces to the way they are grasping each other's hands.

Not just crossing over the border.

But Starr finds herself frustrated because it's easier said then done.

The fact that she does it without thinking shows how it's engraved into her life.

Mass incarceration is a growing problem in the U.S. Something that contributes to this problem is incorrect representation and unfair trails. Khalil was not being represented as a victim but rather a drug dealer.

A significant event in the book is based exactly off of police brutality and a black person having a weapon. I also believe that people who have licensed arms should not be penalized for carrying or using them.

Especially when she added the “or something” at the end Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:55:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123139 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123139 Could be gaslighting instead of taking Starr's feelings into account Hailey then confronts her for being the one who's doing the wrong thing or feeling the wrong feelings. Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:47:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123130 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123130 this is a very good example of person vs. self conflict Wed, 10 Nov 2021 13:01:12 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123127 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123127 I believe that this is a very useful piece of advice it shows us something about the character of Starr’s mom Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:38:12 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123124 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2123124 i think confrontation like this is not being rude but instead expressing yourself and helping the other people in the situation empathize with you. It's pretty clear that the cop was embarrassed. But both of the cops failed to acknowledge the situation head on Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:36:38 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2123113 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2123113 I constantly find myself trying to justify others actions with nice things they do. The way Hailey acts and the things she says are wrong but I feel like at this point Starr is having contradicting feelings about her friend Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:32:00 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2123109 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2123109 When Starr makes this statement it presents the dynamic of her and Chris' relationship. It sounds cliché, but it its really important to be able to be your true self with someone like you S/O Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:29:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2123105 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2123105 At first, I agreed 100% with Starr, but after reading this passage it changes my perspective and helped shed light on what Khalil's mom is going through. That after all, Khalil was still her child.

Uncle Carlos is a detective who knows officer 115 on a first name basis so his statement seems bias. This happens often in real life and people tend to believe false or twisted info they see on social media Wed, 20 Oct 2021 11:39:13 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2114282 https://nowcomment.com/documents/220334?scroll_to=2114282 The two versions of herself are the way she acts at Williamson and the way she acts at Garden heights. This is not something new that people have to do in their daily life because who they are isn't "civil or proper enough" Sat, 03 Oct 2020 14:46:27 -0400
