A further explanation of the evidence I gave is when Dally pulls out a gun on the cashier and told the man at the cash register to give him the money. The theme in the end of the novel is treat others how you wanted to be

    The first theme shows how that native americans were treated badly. In the story, Brigadier General Patrick E. Connor announced in July that the Indians North of the platte River “must be hunted like dogs.” There were many times in the book where it locked like the Indians were being targeted by everyone. It said, “When the bluecoats gunfire grew too overwhelming, the Sioux would draw away”, so that shows that even after they tried to quit the bluecoats still fired.

    The theme that I picked for the book The Hate U Give is Family.
