Thesis Statement
Both Monkey Beach and The Hate You Give are adapted from previously published works with the similar names. Despite the fact that the two stories, frameworks and plots are different from one another, the protagonists of both are trying to figure out who they are. The story of The Hate You Give centres on the institutional racism against blacks in an American culture, and the main character, Starr, is determined to fight this racism by being true to who she is. On the other side, Monkey Beach is a story about grief, anguish, hallucinations, and finding one's place in the world. This article explores the concept of creating one's own culture within the context of cultural imperialism, which is a subject that is present in both of the aforementioned films. The thesis is that there is a striking similarity between the two movies in terms of their treatment of identity and inhomogeneous culture.

On the other hand, directed by George Tillman Jr. and adapted from Angie Thomas's book of the same name, the 2018 film The Hate U Give is a stirring and moving drama. Audrey Wells wrote the script, and Tillman directed and produced the film.
In the film, black high school student Starr lives in the mostly black Garden Heights neighbourhood while also attending the predominantly white prep school Williamson. One night at a party, she recognises an old friend named Khalil. Both talk until some gun shots are heard and everyone leaves the party. On their way home, the two friends are stopped by cops on the street. After some argument, Khalil is shot and killed...
