this line Creates the color and texture of the written work. Shapes the reader’s perceptions. Stimulates ideas or vivid pictures in the reader’s mind. this line makes me imagine what it would look like in real life walking down the street.
the writer seems to use town a lot, perking our ears in recognition,This complexity emphasizes, clarifies, and amplifies meaning, and it intensifies words’ emotional effect.
“rainbow families” makes me think whether the line could have more then 1 meaning or does the writer intend to have just one meaning.
Since we are all a little more stressed, should we get mental health breaks?

Yes. It's impossible to know if she intended to be racist. All we know is that it came across that way, and she needs to at least acknowledge that to Starr. The fact that she won't makes her even more wrong.

Another phrase that was taught to Starr and her siblings by their father Big Mav in order to keep them safe?
A phrase that was taught by Big Mav, Starr's father. If she doesn't stay still or put her hands somewhere visible, she might go through something she doesn't want to just like Khalil. Khalil got shot because he had a hairbrush in his hand and kept moving.
Starr is feeling really scared/nervous. Her mom is holding her hand so that Starr feels a little more at ease.
This sentence basically shows how Starr is mad at Chris. Something probably happened between them before.
I feel like she is tired of people calling/knowing her as Big Mav's daughter instead of knowing her for who she is or as Starr.
What Kenya said to Starr shows that Starr is not someone who is an extrovert/outgoing. It looks like she doesn't like meeting new people. Rather, she sticks by people that she knows.
