The Hate U Give

“We once talked about how cool it was that Will remained himself in his new world” (83). How does Starr’s thought kind of ironic? Use evidence to support your answer.

I don’t understand this question, if someone could help me I would really appreciate that.

Starr is referring to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and how she admired that he was able to be himself and fit in anywhere. This is ironic because Starr does fit in..... she only needs to be herself..... to be comfortable in her own shoes.

Chris gets The Fresh Prince, which helps him get me. We once talked about how cool it was that Will remained himself in his new world. I slipped up and said I wish I could be like that at school. Chris said, “Why can’t you, Fresh Princess?”
