Character Analysis: Stargirl

195 Words1 Page

I rated Stargirl frequently demonstrated for Individual, which means she decides for herself, because she doesn’t let what other people say bother her. For example, everyone was being mean to her and treating her badly but she decides for herself to not let it bug her. At the Hot Seat everyone was attacking her with questions. Like “Why are you so different? Why can’t you be normal? Why don’t you wear makeup?” She didn’t really care what they said about her, she just ignored it. She also decided how she wanted to dress or act. Even when people thought it was weird, she didn’t really care. For example, she did not dress the same as any average teenager, like she didn’t wear makeup and she wouldn’t act like like one either. There was this time

  • John F Kennedy Stargirl Quotes

    596 Words  | 3 Pages

    The novel Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli shows how being yourself can be good for you, but not always for the people around you. John F. Kennedy’s famous quote, “Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,” relates to the novel, since it relates to the theme. Stargirl is a prime example of this quote. She was shunned by the student body for not conforming to the MAHS norms and being forced to act differently to be the same as everyone else to blend in with others. The first example of the theme in this novel is that Stargirl dresses differently than the people around her.
