My second quarter book is The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas, I assume many people's favorite character would be Starr, but my favorite who stood out was Khalil's grandmother, Ms. Rosalie. She was introduced in a conversation between Starr and Khalil before he was killed. After Khalil's death Starr visits Ms. Rosalie and we learn more about her connection to Starr.
Starr's mother needed for someone to take care of her baby so she could attend her college classes or she would have to drop out. Ms. Rosalie, with no hesitation, took care of her like she was her own daughter and said to not dare worry about paying her.
She is my favorite because sometimes you need a friend to love you and have your back no matter what, to not question everything, and not judge you when you struggle and make mistakes. We learn that Ms. Rosalie was that friend who supports you and is your biggest cheerleader when you are grinding to be the best you you can be. She is my favorite because to me all you need is support in a friend and she doesn't just talk about it, she acts upon it.
Totally agree on the last sentence. Acting upon something shows something about your character and might show who you really are
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book yet, but I've seen the movie, and it was absolutely beautiful. I cried a couple of times actually. I agree with you Delilah and Autumn that sometimes all you need is a good supportive friend and someone who acts upon their words.I also enjoyed the Khalil's grandmother in the movie.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read this book for so long! I agree with you though, you just need that one supportive friend that actually acts upon their words and you're good.
