Consider the conversation between starr and Devante about Khalil. What new information did she learn about khalil ? Why do you think the author chose to have Devante give her this news? How would the news have been different if it had come from other sources like the police, or other characters ? Make sure to answer ALL parts of this prompt in a well-constructed response

This question is about "The hate you give".

Answer an Explanation:

1. She learns that Khalil was not selling drugs because he wanted to, but because his mother had stolen money that he needed to replace to keep her safe. In this way Star realizes that he thought badly of Khalil and that he was more a victim of the society in which he was inserted, as well as so many other people.

2. The author decided that Devante should tell Star this, because Devante also sold drugs out of necessity and only one person who is involved in this type of situation can really explain the reasons that lead them to this activity. Star needed to understand that in many communities, this is the only option that young people have.

3. If the news had been given by other characters it would not have such a true and humanistic content. People could say that young people sell drugs because they want to earn easy money, because they like adventure, because they are criminals, and so many other cliché responses that we know of. Only someone who lives this kind of life can show the real reason for young people to enter such a dangerous life, so only Devante could give a correct and true answer.

the chivalry's most valued code is morality

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
