I read Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. I liked really much this story. It takes place at MICA high school. The main character, Stargirl, is a new girl from school that is different from others. “We didn’t know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew. “ The narrator Leo Brock said in this book when he was trying to describe her. This special girl show us that when you allow yourself to be who you really are, you can be happy not caring what others think. She never pretended to be someone she was not for people to like her like all kids in her new school. She had always been a homeschool girl and at first she didn’t knew how to deal with friends, and at first she was not accepted but then she became really popular. Leo was in love with Stargirl but after time school went to their normal ways of leaving, starting to reject hair again and so did he. Even though his feeling where the only ones that were not rejecting Stargirl, she moved out to start a new life knowing from the beginning she wasn’t going to let anyone change her.
I loved this story because I sincerely identify with the theme. Being yourself is the most important thing in your life because is the one thing that will make you happy. When they talked about the school on which Stargirl was new, I realized that my school is really much the same; everybody is a reflection of others. The moment in which Stargirl was not being herself the change of her attitude was really remarkable. Even though it’s difficult you have to learn to know, love, and accept yourself. This was a teen girl who was actually happy for school, she didn’t said what society told her and that’s how she found happiness and successfulness. In my opinion anybody would like this book and it would really help them in this great life lecture.
