Look at the transcript of a speech from The Hate U Give below: What do we want? Justice for Khalil!
We will not leave City Hall ‘case we have the right to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to fight for our freedom! It is our duty to win! We must love and support one another!
We have nothing to lose but our chains!
Hands up! Don’t shoot.
Starr: My name is Starr. And I’m the one who knows what happened to Khalil. I am the witness! But so are you all! We are all witnesses to this injustice! We see it all and we will not stop until the world sees it too. We will not stop until we do. Everyone wants to talk about how Khalil died. This ain’t about how Khalil died. It’s how he lived. Khalil lived. His life mattered. Khalil lived!
How does this speech make you feel? What techniques does Starr use to make people to listen to her?
