Book Report 1 Stargirl
Myranda Ruta
StarGirl Book Report
10/15/14

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli is one of the most eye opening books I have ever read, it will keep you on your toes, make you think, and show you things you have never seen before. Spinelli dosent just drag you through the pages of Stargirl, he sends you running. Stargirl is a book about a girl who isnt like anybody else, she was homeschooled all of her life until her 10th grade year when she showed up at Mica High school and changed everyones lives. I thought the book opens peoples eyes to how self centered someone can be and how they only think about themsleves. When everyone starts ignoring Stargirl for caring for others besides them it shows you how selfish people can be. In conclusion, The book made me think about my actions and better them, made me open my eyes to how people can feel, and how being you is the best thing you can ever do.

    Summary Of Sharon M. Draper's Tears Of A Tiger

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    Stargirl

    Jerry Spinelli’s plots are always so unusual. This book talked about individuality and nonconformity. I mean, there are a lot of books that are similar, but this book has this main character called Stargirl. She is new to Mica Area High School, and she is different than anybody else. At first, she is really popular but later she gets shunned for her differences. The narrator, Leo, is also a Mica High student, and he finds her so different and fascinating. They later become in a relationship, but Leo doesn’t like it because he is shunned as much as Stargirl. So he goes to Archie. Archie is a mentor and teacher to both Stargirl and Leo. He tells Leo to answer only one question: Who’s affection do you value more, hers or them? This part touches me really deeply and I almost cried because this part was really sad. It was also my favorite because this scene finally decided if Leo really did love Stargirl and embrace her individuality. At first, Leo didn’t understand the question, but later when he did, he didn’t want to answer it because he didn’t want to know if his answer was true.…
