When Penny Proud, the main character, tries out for the all boys football team at her school, she is ungraciously turned down and made fun of by the coach and a majority of the players. They were all against her joining the team solely because she was a

She is, without a shadow of a doubt, incredibly conceited. She believes she is above everyone else, and she thinks she is more important that she actually is.

“She looks comfortable out there, she doesn't look like a freshman. She compliments us well, and gives us a few minutes here and there, which makes us a deeper and better team.” Varsity coach Hannah Alexander said. “She kind of a little spark for the team.

Stargirl cheers for everything; whether they’re losing, the opposing team made a point, or just for no reason. This backfires and the school starts to hate her cheerleading since she cheers the opposition as well. Soon after Leo gets a note from Stargirl that says “‘I LOVE YOU.’” (72) From then on Leo is faced which the choice of his peer’s acceptance or a happy life with Stargirl. The school quickly turns on Stargirl as she roots on the other teams and with Leo and Stargirl blindly in love, they don’t realize they are being shunned.

When surrounded by peers that appear more dominant than oneself in many aspects, one would pretend to fit in by acting against their normal behavior. This act of behaving would cause someone’s usual behavior to shift to something irrational and unfamiliar. In J.D.

“You’re a jock who doesn’t excel where his attitude is highest, and you surround yourself with the supporting cast straight out of ‘The Far Side,’” Eric also said “Ms.Lemry is a thinking man’s couch” These examples show that Lemry knows the student’s well, and that she is good at coaching and doesn’t mess around about it.
