Answer and Explanation:
"The Skin I'm In" is a story about racism, prejudice, bulling, insecurity, white supremacy, impunity, self-esteem, support, sense of belonging and self-expression. The author uses Maleeka's life and all the problems related to it and its appearance to portray such important themes that are more present in reality than what we imagine.
In relation to these themes, I do not believe that the author should modify the end of the story, or even change the end of the characters. In order to achieve the objectives of the narrative and present all these themes in a realistic way, it is necessary that each character has the ending that he had. Especially Maleeka, who presents with her mistakes, embraces her own personality and speaks the truth about the things that are happening to her, without protecting anyone out of fear or the need for friendship.
The end of each character represents the end that each archetype they represent must be in real life, so the story is identifiable and personal for all those who read it.
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.
