Genre Research

While meeting with Mrs. Stocklosa , she recommended that I watch the movie, "The Hate U Give".

This movie is a 2018 coming of age drama directed by George Tillman Jr. After doing research upon how this movie can help provide us with information how to improve "Trey's split", this is what I found.

"The Hate U Give" offers a sad narrative that intersects with themes commonly found in coming-of-age films centered around black youth. "The Hate U Give" focuses on the protagonist, Starr Carter, as she navigates her identity through her predominantly black neighborhood and her predominantly white prep school. This is very similar to the life of Trey that we are trying to portray in our opening.

"The Hate U Give" effectively portrays the coming-of-age experience through the lens of a black teenager, addressing issues of identity, social justice, and personal growth.
