Personal Narrative: Stargirl

372 Words2 Pages

People know that Stargirl is different, Stargirl teaches me that being myself is perfect. She wears different clothes, she meditates, she does what makes her content and from my knowledge teenagers don’t usually do those things. In a way I am a Stargirl, I don’t do all the things that Stargirl does, because I am different in my own way.
When Stargirl came into the cafeteria, she was different and stood out. I realized that in Mica High School no one was different, because they said things like, “she’s not real… she’s an actress. It’s a scam.”. A long time ago, my mom said that when she came from Scotland to America she got teased. She told me no more than that, but she was different, she wore different things, I don’t know if she went home

  • 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.

  • The Theme Of Nonconformity In 'Stargirl'

    1873 Words  | 8 Pages

    Celebrated for its theme of nonconformity, Stargirl only proves that while people might try to stand out and do what they wish to, rather than what society wishes for them to do, the change is not easy to perceive and will of course be seen with some contempt to gradually be deemed ‘okay’ and yet not as something mundane, but something they have to get used to.
