STARGIRL By: Jerry Spinelli

Significance

This book is important because it shows what someone else thinks of someone wierd. It shows what one personis doing to make the world a better place in her mind and some of it can do so but not enough people do it to be able to make much of a difference. For example she knows how good people feel when they find money on the ground so every once in a while she would drop coines on the ground for someone to find.





Perspective


The problem is that people didn't like star girl because she was different. Because this happened Leo had pushed her into being someone she was not. and thus she whent from star girl to suzan. Another angle of the story could be stargirls who doesn't seem to mind what others think of her and only does what is good for her friends family and every one else that she could help or make happy.





Evidence

The author is trying to make the point that it is good to be different. He shows us this by making stargirl who is different a very good person. She is always thinking of others. For example she sends Leo a porcupine necktie for his birthday for his collection. Stargirl represents "difference" and by making her character a good person the author is saying that being different is good.

Connection

I see myself as being more like the rest of the characters in the story. My friends and I are all "normal". We dress alike and act like everyone else.

Suppostion

If everyone in the world was "different" in the way that stargirl was different then no one would notice one person as standing out from the crowd.
