I'm sorry, I understand that you are looking at Starr's perspectives as portrayed in the novel, The Hate U Give. Starr does have a unique ability to see race relations in a variety of ways. Her father was in jail when she was a child, and her uncle, who helped raise her was a police officer. She continued to live in a predominantly black neighborhood while attending a predominantly white high school. She also lost very close friends to violence. Her best friend was killed in a shooting.... the result of gang violence. Kahlil, on the other hand, was killed by the police. What question did you have about these viewpoints?
