Throughout the novel Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, several topics across the novel contribute to the overall theme. From identity, conformity to bullying, the topics of Stargirl cover everything under the Mica sun. Conformity is touched after everyone in Mica Area High School is described as conformists, blending into one another. Identity is challenged by Stargirl as she breaks away from conformity. Bullying makes its debut after the kids at MAHS reject Stargirls quirky ways. Overall, the Stargirl novel puts a fresh take on the underlining theme most people aren’t true to themselves unless they are confident.

Heroic stories can be very entertaining to the reader. Seger discusses the hero myth in this article. She explains the meaning of a myth considering we've been taught myths our entire lives. Heroes are normally portrayed as innocent normal people before their transition. She proceeds to point out the differences between Luke Skywalker and James Bond. Skywalker is depicted as a person that is unhappy with his normal life. Bond is known as the guy that saves the world.

Annabeth is angry because she had a vision that she would find a clue to her missing boyfriend, Percy Jackson, at the Grand Canyon. She was told to look for the "one with the missing shoe." Jason, who has lost a shoe in the battle, has no memories of his own identity, let alone Percy Jackson's whereabouts. Jason, Piper and Leo are informed that they are demigods (children of a god and a mortal) and are taken back to Camp Half-Blood where they meet other demigod children like themselves. There, Leo is revealed as a son of Hephaestus, Piper as a daughter of Aphrodite, and Jason as a son of Zeus and the brother of Thalia. He remembers his sister while seeing a picture of her in Cabin One. After scarcely 24 hours of learning about their previously hidden identities, the three receive an urgent quest to rescue Hera, queen of the gods, who was captured by unnamed

A hero is a man of courage and ability who is admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. A hero is a person who does not come along very often in any time period. He is a special person, who is a step above the average person in the way that he handles any situation that may arise.

Suddenly, she's popular, and Leo's thoughts become more and more consumed with her. But the dream can't last forever. Her enthusiastic cheerleading, which made her popular in first place, eventually leads to Stargirl's downfall. She cheers for everyone, in every situation, not just her home team.

Here’s a heads up about STARGIRL: most of the novel is trying to summarize Stargirl Caraway, but that is where the problem lies. She cannot be contained. She can’t be boxed up and tied with a pretty ribbon - she is a free spirit, she is “like another species,” according to Kevin (Spinelli 32).

However, the plot revolves around the process of trying to change her. Leo acts as a coach of sorts, and tries to help her learn to change, adapt, and conform to her new environment: Public school. We see the need of this change right at the beginning, when we see Stargirl try, and make the cheer squad. Joining this clique makes her very popular and well liked, but this same gift turns against her. In one of the games, she begins to help cheer on the other team, causing an uproar in her own school life. This, in turn, causes her to be shunned by the school, amish style. While these events unfold, we see Leo fall deeply for Stargirl, and eventually loses his sense about the attitude of the school in his infatuation: however, after dating, he realizes the space between him and his peers. This leads him to try and change the beauty and love of Stargirl, which eventually succeeds. The differences we saw eventually disappear as she does into the crowd. The bubbliness, loveliness, and overall attitude of Stargirl is changed. She even resorts to her name, Susan. These changes don't last for long as she quickly changes back into herself, relights her love for herself, and wins back the hearts of her peers during the yearly ball, only to disappear off the face of the school at the end of the dance, and remain hidden. This shows that she overcame her shunning, as well as the fear of being different, and in the end didn't care what her peers though, which is

In the story “Star Girl” the main character Susan Julia Caraway A.K.A (Star girl) was a soft and thoughtful person. For example: She would randomly give gifts to people with an anonymous identity, even though people in high didn't really like her that much. Star girl used to be home schooled before going to Mica Area High School. Susan had revealed her actual name later in the book. Meanwhile, Leo was a boy in the same high school also, her best friend. Leo was an ordinary boy who wasn't that considerate of how people felt. On the other side Leo’s best friend Kevin does not like star girl as well as the other kids in school. I decided to draw the background of the book cover from dark blue going to white to demonstrate how star girl's life

The first hero is Nyx Trikelion. I would say that she is a superhero because at her birth she had a fate set for her ordinarily could not change it. She was set out to marry a man and then defeat him so that the curse he had cast on her kingdom could be freed. She has

Toward the end of the book, Leo chooses membership in his peer group. I believe his decision was wrong. I think Leo should have chosen Stargirl because Stargirl loved him. They could have been something special. He shouldn’t of cared what anybody else thought because if they were Leo’s real friends then they would have accepted his decision to date Stargirl and they wouldn’t shun him because of her.

Stargirl is a very caring person. That is what i like most about her personality.

The literary work I have decided to analyze throughout the semester is Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli. It is a teen fiction novel set at Mica Area High School in Arizona. The basic plotline is as follows: a new girl named Stargirl arrives at school who is very different than the students there. Besides her unusual name, she also dresses strangely, has a pet rat, and does sporadic, off-the-wall things. The students don’t know what to make of her at first, but
