The Hate U Give *Exclusive Interview with Starr Carter*

-
 In our second unit of Forbidden books, we learned about books that have been censored for big or small reasons. We went on a trip to see an author's book was banned in Illinois jails and was able to ask questions of why her book was banned. We also learned dogma. Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.  Then we were able to choose a banned book to read and interview with a character. I chose The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. this book has won many awards and even had a movie less than a year later.

The story we were assigned to create a perspective letter is the famous play, Rasin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. This play, set in the south side of Chicago, is about a 5-person, black, family suffering from a 2 bedroom apartment until they receive a $10,000 check from the mother's late husband's life insurance.
