Khalil’s shooting and the ongoing investigation of Officer Cruise put the theme of injustice at the forefront of the novel. The fact that Khalil was unarmed and did not threaten the officer makes his murder unjust. The police are unjust at other points, too, such as when they force Maverick to the ground and pat him down. Race is tied into this theme of injustice as well, since pervasive racism prevents African-Americans from obtaining justice. Starr and Maverick in particular are focused on bringing justice not only for Khalil but also for African-Americans and other oppressed groups, such as the poor. The activist group that Starr joins is called Just Us for Justice because it fights against police maltreatment on the basis of race. At the end of the novel, Starr accepts that injustice might continue but reinforces her determination to fight against it.

Answer:
Demonstrative Pronoun: <em>"These"</em>
Verbal: <em>"earning"</em>
Type of verbal: <em>"gerund"</em>
Personal pronoun:<em> "my"</em>
Explanation:
Demonstrative Pronouns: These are the pronouns which point to something specific within a sentence
Examples: this, that, these, those, such, none, neither.
Verbals: These are words made from verbs but functioning NOT as verbs but as something else (nouns, adjectives, or adverbs).
Examples: In the sentences; cooking requires a lot of skill, he is a learned man, she likes to eat mangoes, <em>cooking</em> (gerund)<em>, learned</em> (participle)<em>, and to eat </em>(infinitive)<em> are </em>verbals.
Gerund verbal: These are verbals formed by adding <em>-ing</em> after the verbs and functioning as noun.<em> "earning"</em> is acting as a noun; and hence is a gerund.
The personal pronoun "my" is used modifying gerund (noun) "earning"
