The Hate U Give

Any quotes that shows Starrs character growth?

Does anyone know any quotes from the book which shows how the character has transitioned to be this shy person to some leading a protest for Khalils death?

From the text:

Seven turns around. “You don’t get it, so shut up. Starr, what you wanna do?”
Anything. Everything. Scream. Cry. Puke. Hit somebody. Burn something. Throw something.

They gave me the hate, and now I wanna fuck everybody, even if I’m not sure how. “I wanna do something,” I say. “Protest, riot, I don’t care—”
“Riot?” Chris echoes.
“Hell yeah!” DeVante gives me dap. “That’s what I’m talking ’bout!”
“Starr, think about this,” Chris says. “That won’t solve anything.”
“And neither did talking!” I snap. “I did everything right, and it didn’t make a fucking difference. I’ve gotten death threats, cops harassed my
family, somebody shot into my house, all kinds of shit. And for what? Justice Khalil won’t get? They don’t give a fuck about us, so fine. I no longer give a fuck.”
