the hate you give chapter 25

I really don't see breaking the rules as a major theme in chapter 25. The destruction and rebirth of the store is a significant moment in the narrative of the Carter family. Maverick’s store is inherently tied up with the family’s identity; it represents their attempt to improve Garden Heights by providing goods for their community as well as offering jobs to those who need them to avoid the street life. Thus, the burning of the store even with its “black-owned” tag represents a culmination of the destructive nature of gang violence and the ways that disunity within the Garden Heights community ends up bringing the entire neighborhood down.
