Stargirl is new at Mica High, her local high school, and everyone can tell that she is different and struggles to fit in. At first Leo, one of the main characters, and his friend Kevin were suspicious about how different she is compared to everyone. They were even asking others if she was an alien. They even followed her after school to see where she was going. Archie, a former teacher at Mica High School, knows everything about Stargirl and her family. Leo goes to Archie for advice every time he needs it, so does almost everyone else. When Leo asked Archie why stargirl was so different Archie said ¨The fact that she is different is a good thing¨.

Bella has to choose the werewolf or the vampire and Leo has to choose Stargirl, his girlfriend, or his popularity. Both Bella and Leo choose the option that most people believe isn't the best option. By that I mean that most people were rooting for the werewolf same as for

    One similarity is that Mrs. Hutchinson stands up for what she believes in, just like Harrison in the story, "Harrison Bergeron". Both the characters actually stand up for something they believe in front of everybody, which takes some major courage. Plus, all the people in the story, with the exception of Mrs. Hutchinson and Harrison Bergeron (maybe the ballerina in "Harrison Bergeron") participate in something. This includes them wearing the handicaps for "Harrison Bergeron" and actually stoning a person every year in the story "The Lottery". And lastly, somebody in the story does not believe in the rules.
