  • Stargirl Figurative Language

    168 Words  | 1 Pages

    Stargirl, a novel by Jerry Spinelli, is a remarkable book that I could not put down. The author does a marvelous job of keeping the story interesting and entertaining to read by adding unexpected twists to the story, like when Stargirl became normal and then changed back to Stargirl again. While I was reading, I felt like I was in the story, like I was a student at Mica High School in Arizona. This is all thanks to the author’s stunning descriptions that included figurative language and superior word choice, like on page 85 when the author wrote, “In school I was a yellow balloon, smiling and lazy, floating above the classrooms.” This novel is not like anything I have ever read before.

In the story, Paige is pressured to be perfect and make no mistakes and this often happens in real life.

    I enjoyed reading this book. It is about a young high school student named Stargirl who is incredibly misunderstood. It contains a great message about individuality and standing up for yourself against tremendous peer pressure to conform to who others think you should be. Stargirl is an eccentric, kind, and gentle person who does not conform to the same set of values as the typical student at Mica High School. She is more concerned about connecting with the universe than she is with relating to the other students at school.
